There's just a lot of problems with violence in the facilities. And I think they attempt to minimize it by having this racial segregation, which is so bizarre.

So that's something that's been going on in California, you know, for a very long time, I think always. And it is a weird situation where, like I said, if you did that at a university or something, there would be lawsuits aplenty.

Yeah. And in fact, it does seem like everyone I've talked to appreciates that and likes it and they're not racist or anything. Right. But for whatever reason, it seems to keep the peace and gives a sense of order to people. I don't know. Again, I will often hear people say like what he said, where like I myself, I have a couple black friends, even though I'm Mexican or yeah.

I'm friends with one of the Peckerwoods. That's what they call the white guys sometimes, you know, who's he's not really a Nazi. He just has to hang out with the white people, even though some of them are neo-Nazis. He's not. And so we kind of sometimes chat when we work at the kitchen together. Right. So there's these sort of like secret friendships cross racially.

But for the most part, yeah, it's odd. And there's also problems, though, when people get classified into the wrong area. Someone got misclassified and they were put in a pod. This was like somebody who had like a shoplifting, you know, nonviolent financial crime. And they were placed in a pod with people who were facing murder charges, were going down for life, sexually violent predators.

And this guy was sexually abused and beaten. And he sent five or six requests saying, please move me. I don't belong here. This is a mistake. I believe he was Middle Eastern. And so that falls in that other category, again, because they don't know what... Other is a category. Other is a category, exactly. White, black, Mexican, and other is how it's done in the system.
