And one of the kids told me because I had gotten upper levels.

Right.

So you get it like a job, not upper levels, but I had gotten up to level three and you kind of get a job to help the guard out.

When you get to the upper levels, they make you into a staff member.

So you get to go giving kids demerits and shit and you're expected to do it.

If you don't, you're in trouble.

But when you're like level three, you get to kind of like hand out the treats.

You're like a trustee basically.

Right.

Like, um, but my job was, uh, keeping track of the demerits so I could keep everybody, I could be in everyone's favor because I can make demerits disappear.

Right.

But then you have to make some of them stick.

So I would kind of, if a new guy came in, all his demerits were gone.

Going in the book.

Because you got to learn and you got to, you got to get so pissed off at this shit that you got to get the shell back.

You know what I mean?

So you're going to have to go to study hall and the guard's going to meet his quota on you until you toughen up a little bit.

But then all these other guys who have been here who like one demerit, you get 10 demerits in a week.

That's a BRV.

That's a blatant rule violation.
