blueyes: Thanks for the comment!

Lin: on the other hand, dental patients don’t need too many excuses to be nervous…

hahaha blueeyes..If I were a patient waiting to be seen and I saw prison guards bringing someone in described that way, I don’t think the blanket covering up shackles and handcuffs would make me any less nervous. Just the mental vision of that scenario makes me snicker.

When the prisoners come here they are shackled but are still in their prison garb. They are taken around in a wheelchair with a blanket over them to cover up the hand and leg shackles and always come with 2 guards.

Rudy: Oh, you know that Larry guy too?

Lin: Yup, bulletproof vests and sidearms. Not conspicuous at all.

I couldn’t help but laugh with this story. To think that putting the prisoner in everyday clothes would help him blend in is funny. Like the “jewelry” attached to his wrists and ankles wouldn’t be a dead giveaway, not to mention the guards following in close pursuit. Were they armed? tsk, tsk.

I can just imagine the look on patients faces that were waiting to be seen.

Hey Periapex — I have to jump into this one. I’ve seen these guys a lot so I thought I’d bring you up to speed on the jail-house jargon. It’s considered bad form to ask them why they’re in — it’s good form to ask them how long they’ve got left. Don’t call them cuffs and shackles — call them jewllary (they love that line). Seriously don’t tell them when they’re coming back – at St. Mikes they had a prisoner get his friends to break him out on a visit at at gun-point. If he’s a bad-ass it’s a real concern. Most importantly, if the guards are out of ear-shot ask about how guys get drugs into prison — it’s funny as hell and they don’t seem to mind talking about it. That’s all for now. Good luck doing you’re time.

It’s (was) an American show (HBO I think). I saw a part of one episode (where one prisoner did a number 2 in another’s mouth) but never had time to see any others. American Idol or something like that must have gotten in the way.

What’s going on with your posts BTW? Looks like your next scheduled one keeps popping up in your RSS feed. I’m so intrigued with the grammatically incorrect title (not that there’s anything wrong with that or anything)…
