Talk among fellow Wardens and Guards eventually evolves into what is easier-- males or females.
My take, boys are easy. The real only reoccurring complaint with #2 is that he refuses to wear nice clothes-- anything with a button. Dirt is fine. He has some semblance of toughness. Other than aim in the bathroom, hygiene is simple.
Females? Complete nightmare. Drama. Hygiene issues that most Guards are not equipped to deal with. Feelings that can spin on a dime. Constant debate on clothing choices, especially when color is involved.
But the worst? Well, today at least, glitter. 1 loves her crafts. 3 follows suite and wants to do what ever 1 does. While shopping yesterday, the Warden picks up some crafts. 1&3 very excited. They state they want to make crafts on their own, without supervision.
Biggest mistake EVER! Well, maybe the choice of craft was the biggest mistake.
Glitter.
Glitter is evil. Much worse than play doh ground into carpet. Worse than crayons on walls. Not even close to marker stains on clothes. Nail polish on carpets? Easy. Even worse than nail polish spilled on granite counter tops (which leave a stain until your favorite granite guy tells you how to remove the stains).
The prison will never be the same. Glitter is everywhere. I am not sure, but this may have been some special type of glue glitter. It comes off nothing.
It is attached to 3's scalp. A swim in the pool (I would be concerned about the pool filter but I don't think any actually washed off), shower with high pressure concentrated stream on her head, hair dryer until her hair almost started to smolder (I know the limit from experience). Still a ton of glitter on her head.
Cracks of hardwood floor now sparkle.
Tracks of sparkle on virtually every carpet.
Considered using the kitchen table for the fire pit after scrubbing and scraping did not remove the majority of glitter. Pressure washer? Yep. That finally did the trick. How may people have used a pressure washer on their kitchen table? I did.
Garfield Prison is a constant battle for the cleanliness department, but over the past 24 hours, there was a concentrated effort to remove glitter. It was unsuccessful to the delight of the prisoners-- for different reasons. #2 thinks it's funny the other two were scrubbed so hard and is happy when he is not in trouble. #1 is happy her hard work of bedazzling #3 was not washed away. #3 is happy because she thinks her hair is still pretty.
Guarded and Warden are just tired.
I wonder if 'real' prisons deal with these issues. I am guessing no.
