I was just going through my day as usual today when a big commotion broke out. Inmates ran to see what the fuss was about as the guards ran over and called for backup. A fight, what else. This time it happened right on my wing. Luckily, I was out in the public area room at the time.
Apparently, a lady in my wing was having a verbal argument earlier in the day where she spit in the other woman's face. So, angry as she was, being spit on, she barged into my wing and started beating the lady up with a lock. She took the lock and repeatedly hit her on the head with it. The lady on my wing did not fight back. Good choice, because if she had, she'd not only be going to lock but can kiss her chances for going home soon goodbye. The other woman will be receiving an entirely new assault with a weapon charge. I'm guessing that's like 5 years?
What craziness. Not that I haven't seen my own share of fights before coming to prison, because I have, but definitely not as frequently. And this is only the women's prison. I don't even want to begin to imagine what goes on amongst the men.
What can't we all just get along? Not possible, I know. But why can't we act like grown adults and either work out our problems in a mature fashion or simply let it go because it isn't worth fighting for. And definitely not worth staying in prison longer for. Love and peace, guys! =) If only it were so.
5 hours later: wow, another fight just broke out. What the hell is going on?!
