Riot in Cell Block 11 Page #4

You're strictly for you.

All right, you control the boys,

I'll help frame the demands.

Hey, Carnie!

Monroe here wants a cigarette.

No.

Sure, whats the difference?

Sure.

Give him the lighted end.

Here.

Take it, it's all right.

Thanks.

What are they doing? They're not

going to kill us, are they?

You'll be OK for a while.

It's not me, you understand, it's

my wife, we're going to have a baby.

How can you afford a kid

on your salary?

I got two jobs,

this one and one in town.

If I could only get

in touch with her...

Now you know why the boys

fuss so much over letters.

...to let her know I'm all right.

They've got wives, too.

You got a family?

- Sure. Wife and a kid.

It's tough any way you look at it.

I figure too good. I figure all

the time that it don't add up.

I'm an accountant, a good one.

Embezzlement?

Nah, robbery. I'm out for while and

then I take something I don't need.

Grocery, department store,

it doesn't matter.

You mean you don't need the stuff?

- No.

Just gotta, that's all. Like some

fellas have to take a drink.

You belong in a psycho ward. You

shouldn't be here. You're different.

Different?

Take Ray in 26. Armed robbery.

You think all that happens is

he says, "I want something",

and then he goes and gets it?

Nah, it's not as simple as that.

Something wrong with him, too.

You mean they're all nuts?

Including the guards.

Whose side you on, Mac?

Course I...

I need glasses to see.

But not to think.

But I can't put you

through to the Warden,

Mrs Snader, the press just arrived.

Tell him I've got to talk to him.

All right, Mrs Snader, I promise.

No, I'm sorry, the Warden's

with the press, I can't cut in.

What's a rookie guard

doing in the hole?

We don't have enough men

and they're not good enough.

Most of them have to have other jobs

in order to make a living.

Any idea why this started?

Who's this Dunn?

Armed robbery, third offence,

murder, second degree.

Medical report says he's homicidal.

Dangerous and unbalanced.

He should be in a hospital

under psychiatric care.

When do we get to see him?

We're waiting on Commissioner Haskell.

He's on his way here.

Here's another one.

Crazy Mike Carnie. In for life.

This is Dunn's pal.

Transferred to us

from the state mental hospital.

I've been trying to get him

transferred back, with Dunn. No luck.

Are they all psychopaths?

We've got all kinds here.

Good and bad, just

like on the outside.

Here, this guy is known around here

as the Colonel.

He is a colonel, too.

Brilliant war record.

Got drunk,

fight in a bar, manslaughter.

He's up for parole consideration.

Should be out soon.

These men aren't here forever.
