Four days later the public is advised we have a firebug locked up????. Should be a simple investigation. Who's missing a pillow???

Or better yet, who is sleeping without a pillow?

Something tells me nobody has a pillow now. Like children, one bad kid messing up makes the rest do without. Oh well, such is life locked up in jail.

Well, that's what happens when you act like an idiot! If you can't sleep with a pillow, like someone with some sense, I can take them from you, and on and on and on. I remember that year the Adams county inmates rioted, and they sent them up to us in Rankin county, the state pin. It didn't take us long to set them in order! Come to Rankin county with that, and you could come up seriously injured, and everyone's paperwork would say the same!

1. Why did they have a pillows? They're not in the Hilton.
2. Were did they get something to start the fire?
3. Give them a paper gown. If they continue to show their selves let them go nude it's much cooler.
4. No pillow
5. No blanket and close the door!
6. Check every 15 minutes to see if the idiots are happy with their new way of life.

Why was the pillow locked up in the first place?

i will tell ya'll right NOW from experience.... what they call pillows or even mats ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE!! (which should be a good thing i guess, it made me never ever want to be in a place like that ever again) but it is HORRIBLE! i didn't luck and get put in jail when they where having pizza delivered to the inmates... or when the girls where climbing over the ceilings (through holes made in the fences) and having sex with the men inmates.. i came in THE DAY AFTER they put the jail on 'lock down!'! it was horrible! so please anyone thinking the inmates are at the hilton... FAR FROM IT!! gives me chills just thinkin about it...

Too bad not everyone wakes up while in jail. It would be a good thing.
