Bleachers - the new security risk

I don't know the reasoning behind it but for the last few days we have not had any recreation in the gym or on the field. We are supposed to get at least one hour outside every day and have almost always had morning and afternoon recreation.


I learned that the field has been closed because the bleachers had a loose pole - a "security risk." Okay, so just cut the pole off or, if the pole really is a security risk, it should be possible to pull it out with minimal effort. If that is too difficult, round up a few inmates to carry the bleachers off the field where they (the bleachers, not the inmates) won't pose any danger. We've done that in the past when the bleachers were in the middle of the field.

Until things open up again I'll be waiting patiently for a chance at fresh air in the short walk outside to visitation once a week. The malodorous dorm air just isn't as nice to run in, although running in place isn't the same as on the field either.
