She said there were some sex
offenders in her group. "They have
some problem dealing with me.
One I'm scared to death to get
near, I feel like wearing a raincoat.
He spits at me, urinates and
masturbates in front of me to show
his terrific hate of women."
Despite problems with male
prisoners, Graham said she would
much rather deal with them than
with female prisoners. "Never
have I seen such behavior in my
life, it makes the men look
civilized," she said.
GARRISON SAID, "Women are

Drug abuse is another problem
in prisons today, they said. At CCI
there is a fairly sophisticated
system of drug distribution, said
Graham.
"We have the community
pusher. This guy knows where all
the drugs are," she said. "One

which is a slang term for where
illicit drugs are distributed," she

Atv Central Prison, the popular
method for passing drugs and

plumbing ties in together from one
cell to the next. When something is
