    Working in prison? Yeah. One of my students got thrown into Administrative Segregation, AKA “The Hole” for “Altering State-Issued Property” which was written for things like TVs, clothes, etc. His offense? As a student he was issued 2 pencils for use in class. He sharpened them.

        Yes, and after the second appeal to the administration, the write-up was overturned and revoked. 44 days into his 45-day punishment.

          What happened to the next person punished for sharpening a pencil?

            It’s just a fact of life in there that Offenders can be written up for something at any time. Even if an offender was just standing there doing nothing, They could be written up for loitering, since technically everyone in there is supposed to have a job and be doing *something*. It’s messed up world in there, and even though I was an employee, not a resident, it still warped me. Mostly my sense of humor.

            That pencil story? When it happened, word got around. Everyone laughed about it. Especially the other offenders.
