But do you think the state cares are they gonna do any thing ? Nope they are not makes me wonder currupt cos,may b the prison is just plain dirty. What does the warden have to say . Prob. Nothing but than again the prison has to make it look good. So who do they blame the visitors. But nothing is gonna change.... the state has its nose to far in the sky. ... but I'm sure this won't. B the last incident we hear about a dirty ninja turtle!! And it sure isn't the 1st. But. Than again blame the. Great state of california and the dept. Of curruptions..

The state is so dumb it needs to get rid ofthose currupt porks.. half of those cos need to be behind those bars. They like to harass visitors but they are the ones that are dirty .the state would have plenty of money if it got rid of those dirty cos . The state of california should be embarrassed...... but oh well 4 that co who got busted wasn't to brite. I guess the degree he got is worth less now .one thing the state should do when hiring is train its rokkies!!!! Lmfao.......
