Allan: Yes... you weren't allowed to exercise in your cell because they said you would get hurt. They would confiscate empty soda bottles and trash bags with water in them that guys would use to lift weights. The only real physical thing you could do was walk around the perimeter of the half court and play basketball.
Clayton: Yes. There is nothing except a small basketball yard and you cannot really play in the sandals they make you wear
