They came in and made everybody get up and go outside and sit in 14 rows with 20 inmates in each row facing away from the compound. Meanwhile, other officers searched through all the rooms with K-9 units.
The whole time the rooms were being searched, the officers were going one row at a time making everybody take their clothes off to strip search them. I was sitting at the very front of all the 280 inmates, so I ended up being one of the last to get searched.
The whole time I was waiting to get searched, I kept seeing cell phones, MP3 players and other contraband flying over my head [over the balcony rails]. It seems like everybody had something!
Anyway, this whole search lasted from about 1:30 a.m. until 5:30 a.m. Nobody got any sleep last night. I know I didn’t and I still had to work the next day.
