For the officers and staff working at holman, the biggest challenge is dealing with difficult inmates. You aint got no business [ bleep ] with my took my mail and thats the part of it. [ bleep ]. I dont have any problem. Ask any officer that walked by here. I dont know [ bleep ] with nobody. And with a steady decline in staff, the pressure is on the new recruits. I dont even want to think about failing because its not an option for me. Im going to pass. I feel like if i did fail, im letting a lot of people down. Not just myself. Welcome to the gates of hell. Charge him double for an armband. Okay . Hey, and then whoever that armband belonged to, he need to get charged, too. In roughly four months of shooting inside holman, warden Grantt Culliver has shown many sides. Wardens office. Culliver. Can i take a message . Hell call you back. Yes, maam. You take messages, warden . Yes, maam. We do it all. Hes firm. Get your shirt on like youre supposed to. But fair. Tough youre right. Im going
