JM: Did you have regular access to the entertainment or was competition fierce? Give details.
Richard: There wasnt any entertainment ever besides the tv and reading material. I never felt the need to compete foor anything. Everyone received equal treatment and the way someone didnt get same is if they were doing something wrong, like starting fights and talking back to the guards. talking back to the guards is not acceptable.
