You can see in this photo that the stocking cap I had been wearing was replaced by a cloth, since the cap was hard to keep on.

I do not recall all of the daily activities, but I do remember some parts of our prisoner “rebellion.”

We struggled with guards to keep our sleeping cots as they forcibly removed them from our cell. Since we had been told there should be no physical contact, I tried to only grab our beds as we fought against losing them.

I remember being placed in “solitary” which was just a closet in the hallway. It was not unpleasant and I thought it was a very weak form of punishment.
