A prison guard has just been fired for allegedly having a romantic relationship with a Death Row prisoner and doing various favors for him. This, naturally, has led the AP to recount some recent problems with the Arkansas penal system. (My favorite: Allowing prisoners to sew prison-guard uniforms, which then allowed them to walk right out of the place.)
Then there was this paragraph, tucked away towards the end:
Security on death row has been a problem in the past. In 1995, when the
state's Tucker Unit held death-row inmates, an Arkansas State Police
investigation found a massive smuggling operation. State troopers found
contraband including a priest's cassock, weapons, gunpowder, syringes
and a greeting card with marijuana leaves on it.
The investigation began after the discovery of a hole between two cells, which an inmate allegedly used to sexually assault another inmate.

America, if there is a hole like this in your home, then stay away from that hole.
I thought "girls" weren't allowed to guard in the men's section.
