It's not supposed to be fun for them. When you can't make good decisions in life, you come to prison. They don't house volunteers. They did something for the most part to be there.

Telford unit is one of the worst unit for an inmate, especially if you are from out of town. They send your love ones here so you can't visit often, so they can mistreat them.They are very racist n the Warden turns a blind eye and deaf ear.
