his bologna sandwich and drinking that milk thinking about what he just did. after reviewing officer mcclaren s report, warden ivy said they ll join a large number of heartless felons in 23 and 1 status. somebody got slapped in my pod and they look at me and the rest of them because we re young and black and we move a certain type of way. we ain t did nothing. what s up? what s going on? what s going on with you? looking good, man. i appreciate the compliment. i respect you. okay. all right. after two days on 23 and 1, williams is coping his best as he can. but mclemore, also interrogated about his role in the heartless felons and his attack on dicillo is in an apparent state of crisis. smeared feces all over his body and the walls and doors and he seems irate for some reason.
