Questions for Cathy – A funny anecdote

Can you share a funny anecdote from your time at Angola?

Actually, humor keeps us sane!!  I always say that Angola has even made me “a better man.”  The men seem to appreciate it when “light” comments are made.  I did have an offender tell me once when I lost a couple of quarters in a vending machine that “its like a bunch of people here at Angola – its a thief.”. Also I had a Death Row inmate ask a reporter if she was scared to come to Death Row at Angola. She answered no quickly and he replied even faster that she was braver than him because when he heard he was coming he was petrified!!
