CHAPTER 32

“That’s a man! That bitch is a man!” the inmates shouted at the television.

I had gotten stuck on overtime again and was now working the Mental Observation Housing area aka The Nut House. I was sitting in the dayroom watching a bunch of inmates watch a talk show that wants the audience to guess whether the person standing on stage is a man or woman. The inmates screamed out their guess again, “That bitch is a man!” Another inmate screams out, “If it is, I’d still fuck her shiiieet!” Then they all slap each other a high-five while laughing out loud. The M.O. house is where people either are crazy or pretending to be crazy to try and beat their case. Right now these fools are jumping off the wall until they hear their favorite call which is MEDICATION! My thoughts were, ‘Ah right on time.’ They all line up at the front entrance of the housing area to receive their prescribed meds for the day and then Bam! It’s just like that the house has done a 360 degree turn. No more yelling at the television or nothing just the walking dead.

They are so official that if they ain’t right, meaning if an inmate has paperwork that names you as a snitch, in his case it could mean the death of him in jail. My thoughts as he runs off are, ‘Great, besides being a baby-sitter, a judge, and a counselor now I am a fucking psychiatrist.’ We wear many hats doing this job.

While he has gone to his cell, I take this time to go to the back of the housing area so that I can get a signal on my cell phone and check my messages.

BEEP, the first one is from Bryant. The murder from what I hear is still being investigated and she sounds hysterical, “Yo, these fools are really trying some bull shit! Now King is covering Fran by saying that he was on the A side of the housing area when the inmate got killed on the B side. This takes Fran out of the equation as to who’s fault this was and still leaves me out there! They both know that when I rolled
