from One Big Self

                Count heads. Count the men's. Count the women's. There are five
main counts in the cell or work area. 4:45 first morning count. Inmate
must stand for the count. The count takes as long as it takes. Control
Center knows how many should be in what area. No one moves from area
A to area B without Control knowing. If i/m is stuck out for the count i/m
receives a write-up. Three write-ups, and i/m goes to lockdown. Once

                                     in lockdown, you will relinquish your things:
                            plastic soapdish, jar of vaseline, comb or hairpick, paperback
                                     Upon return to your unit the inventory officer
                            will return your things:
                                      soapdish, vaseline, comb, hairpick, paperback
                                      Upon release you may have your possessions:
                                      soapdish, vaseline, comb, pick, book
                            Whereupon your True Happiness can begin


In the Mansion of Happiness:

Whoever possesses CRUELTY

Must be sent back to JUSTICE

Whoever gets into IDLENESS

Must come to POVERTY
