The "honor block" at the prison, a special section that had housed Matt, Sweat has been shut down after their escape and will now be turned into a regular cell block.

Being in the "honor block" gave inmates privileges such as going outside every day, having hot plates and refrigerators in their cells, and congregating for hours in a central gallery area each evening with fellow inmates. They wore civilian clothing, one of the escapees had a guitar in his cell.

What the hell is going on? This is supposed to be a maximum security prison, sounds like a fuggin' country club. Guys getting laid on the regular by the female prison staff. There are posters here at SBR that don't have it this good. If this is a maximum security prison in New York, what the hell is a minimum security prison like? Private chefs, keg partys and private masseuse complete with happy endings?

Unraelz!
