So what they're saying is really, "It's Tuesday."
When you cage human beings, treat them like animals, they're likely going to act in accordance.
The fact they're answering phones means they're capable of some sort of rehabilitation. They can be receptionists, FFS.
I don't believe the inmates are asking for more guards. That's simply not a thing.
What's almost (almost) humorous is that there are people that'll read this and think, "Those damn libtards and Defunding the Police. Pft."
The patients have always ran the asylum, when were talking about American prisons. Being short on guards really has very little to do with the realities.
