Update on Scott Hello All,

I want to let everyone know that I am doing OK in here. It is a living hell, but I just have to do my time and be done with it. I have befriended a few guys that have helped me out alot. They are older guys (around 50-70), and they are really nice... most of the people here are nice, and they just want to do their time and be done with it. There is a NO TOLERANCE POLICY in reguards to assault, or sexual assault... During my orientation, we have a big presentation about it...

The food here leaves alot to be desired. On a scaled of 1 to 10, I would rate it a 3 or 4, some days are better than others...

Email access is cool... it costs be 15 cents per minute while I am logged in, and I can do whatever I want (just email) for 30 minutes, and then it shuts off. Then I have to wait 15 minutes before I can log back in.

The Phone system is decent. I get to talk for 15 minutes at a time, and it costs 23 cents a minute, and after my time, I have to wait 30 minutes before I can talk again....

The worst part of it all is that I dont get to see my family and friends on a daily basis... I havent really received alot of emails from anyone but my family, which doesnt suprise me... not like I am in PRISON or anything...

But aside from that... things are going OK here. The sleeping arrangements suck, I have a top bunk on about a 1inch thick mattress that isnt comfortable. They turn the lights off at 10 on weekdays, and about the same on weekends... I have a window next to my bunk, which means that I have the stadium style lighting that lights the whole complex shining right onto my head.

Also, the noise here is terrible. No one is considerate of anyone in that department... oh well though... this isnt supposed to be paradise.

All I have been doing lately is playing cards... sitting around, and playing Spades, Rummy, and Magic 2s... I just learned how to play spades, and it is really fun...

I cant receive any packages that contain anything other than SOFTCOVER Books, and MAGAZINES, and it has to say on the box or manilla envelope "BoP APPROVED". That has to be written somewhere on the package or envelope in big letters. So I can receive it.

Other than that people. There isn't much to do here... and it has been a strain.... but I will do my time and get out... I will have my girlfriend post more when I get the chance.

PEACE.
