Text (O): (c) John L. Orr 1996 2000 words County Erections by John L. Orr I willingly gave my country four years in the 1960's, but giving an almost equal amount to my county was unplanned. I usually slept well in my cell in the Los Angeles County Jail, but woke up to a nightmare. "An erection! I need an erection!"

Orr You can feel the tension increase on 6-North every evening around six p.m. The after-dinner cleanup is finished, cribbage and Scrabble games begin, and a soft murmur of the evening news escapes from the TV room, but does not mask the electricity in the air. Resolute chess players periodically lift their heads and peer nonchalantly toward the entrance door to the module. Tiny beads of sweat appear on upper lips...

Text (O): Squander 101: A required corrections officer academy class?   By Bryce Canyon (pseudonym)   My introduction to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) prison system followed a lengthy stretch in a Club Fed penitentiary near Los Angeles.
