Notes From The Week (NFTW) - Updates of life behind bars and some of the characters who live it every day.

The issues with the understaffed and overworked Correctional Officers is still plaguing the prison system. Bobby gets a new bunkie and this one arrived by way of 17 countries, starting at the age of 14 and all alone. Immigration is a hot button topic, there are no easy solutions and we all agree something needs to be done, and in this episode we get a glimpse of the courage it takes to travel so far as an immigrant.
