April 22nd

The guy that they had to take to the hospital last night did in fact use a shoelace around his neck with pencils to tighten it. The staff found him unconcious, but they did get him in time and he came back to the institution at about 9:00 am this morning and is expected to fully recover. He had apparently cut himself on his face and arms as well, but they were mostly superficial cuts.

We have two new inmates on death row as of Friday. About four years ago an inmate was stabbed and beaten to death in the activities section of the Penitentiary. These two had been awaiting trial for it, and finished and were apparently sentenced last Friday. They both got the death sentence. The sad part is, in Oregon, they are more likely to die of old age than being executed.

Well, I am off to do another overtime shift. The boss just called and is getting desperate, he has four posts to cover.
