What would you have done?

Not sure that's in your mechanics book though......

I was opposite tableside & it was extremely loud in there. Every prisoner attends the game, between them & their parents, the visiting teams fans, the gym is filled to the max & the prisoners sing rehearsed chants/cheers in unison throughout the contest...
That was the best part of working that game!!

Since we are both from Illinois, I recommend our fine Governor when he is behind bars to be on the table since he is used to running things.

I didn't know they had varsity games in jails; even juvies. Wow! Were they playing another detention center, or a high school?

Too busy with the 6'5" post players to keep a count too
Yes sir they play all sports home & away. They were playing a regular 5A HS team. Beautiful facility with a nicer sound system than most regular HS.

I had a nephew locked down there a few years back.
