So the first one was more like a hunting season riot where there was just like 17... It was like... I think it was like four or five days.

The second one was the longest one that I believe was like 25 to 30 days.

And then the third one was a short one and...

The police came inside with everything because someone threw a rock and hit a police officer up on the roof and it hit him in the head and he fell down into the patio and died.

And as soon as that happened, the police came in with everything.

I mean, they came in shooting rubber bullets at people and the gas was just everywhere.

I mean, you can't breathe with that.

You get neutralized immediately.

so you're digging we're digging under the are you under any of the walls the exterior walls yeah i'm i'm calculating we're already at the wall i'm thinking maybe two or three hours or we're popping up like you know bugs bunny out of the dirt boom and we're gone but we have to seal this back up we have to clean up the cell the cell's a mess there's dirt everywhere right because after the riot all the police and guards come in and start searching everything and if they come up in the cell they see dirt everywhere we're screwed so now it's cleanup time we start cleaning everything

Start cleaning you know scrubbing mop and you know we have to get Paper to put on the wall to make it you know make the hole disappear, and then I got to put the fridge back and then Wait for these cops to come in So cops come in they do the search same thing bam bam bam they bang on everything all good Now I lived in the cell with two people one guy was from Poland and

And the other guy was from Columbia.

Now the Colombian had prior knowledge of making tunnels.

So that's one of the main reasons why we did what we did.

And the other kid was just there and he was a helper basically with the rocks and cleaning and all that stuff.

He lived with us.

He was a good kid, but he had a drug problem.

Now, after the tunnel, after the riot's done, we go back to our normal lives.

You know, we're just day by day in the prison and that hole's there in the wall.

No, we're not doing nothing.

I can't do nothing during the day because, you know, or at night because you never know when someone could come in, someone could hear something.
