Prison is full of rules and regulations, something everyone already knows. However, you would think that strict adherence to these policies would be maintained. From time to time, a memo must be sent out to all the inmates regarding those rules that have not been followed. Of course, there is disciplinary action for those inmates who choose not to follow them. Before I came, I figured there’d be one strike and you’re in trouble, even if it was an accident.
According to this memo, you can see that the administration wasn’t as strict as I thought. Here they reiterate how important it is to keep your lockers, bunks, and personal bulletin boards neat and clean. You may also notice the strict rules for how to organize and clean things. The camp administrator re-posted this memo to remind the campers of their behavior and how they need to keep their areas clean.
Below is an excerpt of the memo. Below that is a copy of the actual memo.
