We were told to only use our numbers instead of our actual names when speaking to each other. But in our cells most of us prisoners used our real names. Even some of the guards, when not around their peers, would share their names with us.
After going to bed the first night, I remember being woken and told to line up in the hallway outside our cells. This was the first “count” by the guards to verify all prisoners were present.
After the count we were told to return to our cells and go back to sleep. I had no idea it was the middle of the night and that we had only slept for about four hours.
