William 'Blinky' Rodriguez

On January the 30th, we drove up to the prison and we get there and first we stop and get something to eat and then we get to the prison and the CO is right there waiting.

And when we get there,

He says, yeah, come on through.

And so me and this guy went through.

And he says, you know, we don't normally have meetings on Monday, but everything's fine.

We're going to be okay.

So they walk us through.

We walk through, get out to the back door, and there's the yard.

The yard, the barbed wire, everything's right there.

We start walking, we go into a building to the left.

Now I thought I was gonna be talking to somebody behind glass, but it turns out that they're asking me, what do I think about this room?

And I'm like, in my mind, why are they asking me?

What am I thinking about this room?

You know what I mean?

Because that's up to them.

But I look down the hallway and there's a door.

I said, what's behind that door?

And the CO tells me, he says, that's a chapel.

I said, can I see it?

We walked back down the hallway, he opens the door and there's a podium right there and there's about 15 chairs.
