Yes - Thats pretty much it, in all honesty... Most of fellow inmates were mexicans - About 97%... So they all spoke Spanish
Naturally thy could also speak English 'IF THEY CHOSE TOO'... But the only time the chose to talk English was when the TV was switched from Spanish Programs to English Ones...
So TV was out of the question... We were not allowed books... Except for a bible - So I learnt that inside and out... But it was just really boring...
You end up finding stuff to do, that doesn't really make any sense other than to fill the day - ie - 'I NEED to walk up and down this corridor 500 times before lunch' or ' I NEED to read the whole of 'Matthew' before tea' etc etc...
If you are good at creating non existant tasks like those, time passes by much faster, as you are infact busier than you woud be on the outside, if you get my meaning...

Very True... Had I committed murder or a heinous crime, I would have been in with other murders etc, and things would have been different... But I had not - I had simply overstayed a visa in the USA and aside from the 'technicality' of the offence, aI had done
NO OTHER CRIME AT ALL
