how dysfunctional it is, no matter how bizarre and asinine and ridiculous and stupid. it is very stupid. there's a lot of rules here that are enforced by inmates. >> many of those inmate enforced rules revolve around racial politics. >> a lot of the people here have affiliation to gangs. but they asked me who i run with. well, you know, i run with teachers and librarians usually. and when i find them, then i'll run with them. but sort of haven't found too many of them yet. >> paro must also deal with racial politics in his prison job as a housing clerk. >> i got a message that you called over here. >> usually i come in the morning i see who is paroled, if there have been roll-ups, there are beds open. >> i got 109 up, 242 up. those are open since yesterday.
