1:22:01
lf they stuck you in the hole...
1:22:04
...you could be sitting here...
1:22:06
...like me, asking why we couldn't
be friends on the outside.
1:22:09
You ever steal five bucks?
1:22:14
Once.
1:22:16
When l was a kid, from my...
1:22:18
...brother's wallet.
1:22:21
What happened?
1:22:24
He told me not to do it again.
1:22:29
Why'd they put me in that hole
for three years?
1:22:33
l could have been just like you.
1:22:38
l'd just like to ask them, you know.
1:22:53
Raise your right hand.
1:22:56
Do you swear to tell the whole truth
and nothing but the truth?
1:23:00
So help me God.
1:23:01
You may be seated.
1:23:07
Warden Humson, in a book you wrote,
you refer to the convicts as your children.
1:23:12
You liken your job to that of a parent,
providing for their physical needs...
1:23:16
...and molding their character.
1:23:18
Yes, l wrote that.
1:23:19
l have a record of a prisoner
named Johnson...
1:23:22
...who did a total of 500 days
in the lower cells.
1:23:24
The hole, the dungeon.
1:23:26
This was over a ten-year period for such
offenses as not finishing all his food...
1:23:31
...having an extra pair of socks in his cell,
keeping an untidy cell...
1:23:35
...smuggling food from the dining room,
crumbs, in fact, for a pet lizard.
1:23:39
ls this what you mean
''molding character''?
1:23:41
No, no, no.
1:23:43
You're twisting things here.
1:23:45
The isolation cells were simply a tool
of a temporary nature...
1:23:49
...for extreme cases
within the general population.
1:23:54
Moreover, you make it sound like
the prisoner did 1,500 days at one stretch...
1:23:58
...for one infraction.
