The cell door slams open. Three guards
00:00:02
come in. They take my cellmate outside.
00:00:05
They tell me to stand and they tell me
00:00:06
to strip. And it wasn't the first time I
00:00:08
got strip searched, but this was
00:00:10
different. [music] 3:00 in the morning,
00:00:12
you're like, "What's going on?" Boom,
00:00:13
very fast, you know, aggressive, strip
00:00:16
searched.
00:00:17
Made feel absolutely,
00:00:20
you know, humiliated. Second night, same
00:00:23
thing, same guards come in, same time,
00:00:25
cell door slams open, I get strip
00:00:26
searched.
00:00:27
The third night, the same thing [music]
00:00:29
happens, man. My first week in prison,
00:00:31
I'm like, [ __ ] Like, I'm [ __ ] up, you
00:00:34
know? And there isn't anything you can
00:00:35
do about it. Before every visit, you put
00:00:38
on your Teletubby suit, and then when
00:00:40
you come out, you get strip searched
00:00:42
again. After just seeing your family,
00:00:44
you get strip searched. That's why I
00:00:45
didn't want to see my family for like
00:00:46
the first month. I was like, I don't
00:00:47
want to see you guys, cuz I knew you'd
00:00:49
get strip searched. I don't want to go
00:00:50
through that humiliating process. Mhm.
