No television. I mean, if they have a radio, they could probably listen to the radio and to the televisions that are being played on the unit, but they can't see it. They still get mail, but that's about it.

So I can say from firsthand experience, on my second morning at the Philadelphia Detention Center, I remember I had just gotten out of the shower and all of a sudden, out of the side of my eye, I saw one gentleman rush another gentleman in the shower next to me and stabbed him with a shank, something sharp.

And as soon as that person was stabbed, out of nowhere, my cellmate grabbed me and pulled me back into the cell. And his advice, which is something that I would give anyone going in that situation is, get back to your cell, stay out of it. Keep in mind that most of my clients will never see that. They self-surrender to the prison camp. There is no violence in a prison camp.

You can't be convicted of a violent offense if you're in a prison camp. Now, in the examples of Sean Combs or Mangione, anyone else that I'm aware of on that floor, my advice would be, if you are found guilty, you need to get to a United States penitentiary. That's the highest level facility. That's where they will go. That you will be able to live. Not live well, not live successfully, but live.

If that's the best you can offer someone and their family, that they will be able to live and not get hurt or die. Really kind of put that in context as far as what any potential upside is.

A lot of the attorneys I work with bring me in almost as a therapist. They get very frustrated dealing with the defendant because to a defendant, regardless of the charge, as a defendant, we bury our heads in the sand. We are the epitome of a stork and we are in denial.

You know, the five stages of grief, we are in denial and defendants overwhelmingly are in denial until the judge renders a sentence if found guilty or they plead guilty. And it doesn't really sink in to most people until the judge bangs that gavel and the sentence of a period of time in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons is read.

Prior to that, there's a lot of wishful thinking and hopeful thinking and optimism that I think most intelligent defendants will have. Their attorneys will get them out of this. God will get them out of this. They will get themselves out of it. President Trump will get them out of it.

There's a lot of wishful thinking until that judge reads those words, you are remanded to the custody of the Bureau of Prisons. My job is to prepare them. As someone who's been through it, it's easier for me to explain it to them.

I would say probably 40% of my work is with families. It is not uncommon at all. for a family member to call. Okay. So my client who's in Brooklyn on Sunday, I received a call from his family. I haven't heard from my husband in two days. He calls me normally twice a day. I'm very worried what's going on. And that's, you know, when I realized that there's a lockdown.
