New roommate...again
My cellie Freddy left on Monday and I now have a young guy from Weatherford here with me. He ha only been in prison for a couple of months and this is his first cell. Everywhere else has been like a warehouse full of bunks. The cell offers much more privacy and quiet than Jeremy has had before, so he has been staying in the ell all day long since Monday.
Some other guys in the dorm have noticed him absent from the dayroom and rec.
"Do you have a cellie?" they joke.
Yes, I have one. Right now it annoys me that he is in the cell all the time - I don't get any privacy - but I definitely understand why he stays in.
I've already told him to enjoy it for a little while. If it goes on too long, I'll have to give him the same speech I received when I stayed in a cell reading all day: We share the space, but we each need some alone time to unwind.
Side note: The Principal has been fired for her mistake.
