Ashole keepers duty

Shirashi returned to prison after visiting the madman's ship and began screaming in terror about what he had experienced there. However, the asshole keepers told him that if he didn't stop screaming at the top of his lungs, they would look up his ass.

At first, they didn't believe what his cries of dread were telling them, but later everything changed and it dawned on them that this wasn't ordinary nonsense

A Brazilian prison uses geese as their guards and it’s shockingly effective because geese are full of hate. 15 years ago the prison replaced their guard dogs with geese and haven't had a jail break since.

Prison officials said guard dogs are a lot of work, they need to be trained, can be bribed, need a lot of attention, and are expensive. Geese on the other hand are naturally A-holes, very territorial and are constantly alert.

The geese are stationed around the outer perimeter of the prison so if anyone gets in their territory the geese go crazy, make a huge commotion, and alert correction officers.

- Puis-je garder de quoi écrire?

- Vous demanderez la permission au gouverneur plus tard. Dépêcher vous de vous rhabiller. Il y en a trente qui attendent leur tour…

Des assistants s'attaquent au néophyte, avec un acharnement de fourmis geantes. Le concours de vitesse est commencé.

- Dépêchez-vous…

C'est la douche qui remplacera tantôt l'eau du Jourdain, nécessaire la naissance d'un numéro. La hantise de la pancarte de tantôt métreint. Le bruit de l'eau courante semble crier avec ironie: Ceux qui ont… ceux qui ont… ceux qui ont…».

- Ah! zut alors!

Allons pour la douche froide. Tour à gauche. La douche cinglante. Er tour à droite. Essuyage. La toilette est terminée. Nouvelle file de nudistes

Un prisonnier entre à Bordeaux comme il entre au monde: nu. Pas même la classique feuille de vigne. Par contre, il possède, en toute richesse. son mandat d'incarcération, feuille de route officielle, le consacrant, pour une période indéfinie, pupille du procureur général.

Puis l'habillage se fait en trois tableaux; caleçon, chemise, culotte. La salle de transformation est, comme toutes les salles de Bordeaux, blanche, spacieuse, propre. Un froufrou de soie invisible caresse l'ouïe.

Dix officiers tiennent conseil, autour d'une table massive.

- Plus vite…

Un saut dans les sous-vêtements neufs. Le pantalon, la chemise invitent. Les chaussures se moulent aux pieds, un mouchoir rouge vole sur votre épaule, tel un géant papillon.

- Dépêchez-vous!…

C'est le mot d'ordre. Déjà, le crépuscule s'accroche à la chaux des murs en l'épaississant. Un soupir. Tout est consommé.

Votre humble serviteur, peu habitué aux marathons de culottage, se fait attendre. Les boutonnières de son pantalon sont étroites. Des yeux de chat. Effort digne d'une péroraison électorale. Rien n'y fait. Un ordre.

- En rangs. Deux par deux. Et vous, là-bas, vous finirez de vous culotter en cellule, car nous allons manquer notre souper…

Nous sommes dirigés vers les cellules de l'aile B. La mienne est et m'a fait pardonner ma gentille photographie de bandit, encore aux côtés de celles avec le carcan numé-de meurtriers, de gunmen, dans la «rogue gallery», roté 12737 en guise de faux col, et les empreintes digitales."

"Convict Slain In Stony Mountain Riot," Edmonton Journal. April 29, 1935. Page 1 & 2. ---- 2 Injured, Heavy Property Loss Caused As Prisoners 'Row' Over Meals, Tobacco ---- Manitoba Prison Sees Second Uprising; Guards Open Fire ---- LASTS TWO HOURS ---- Editor Gets Mystery Tip Just Before Trouble Starts ---- IN TELEPHONE CALL ---- STONY MOUNTAIN, Man., April 29. - Born in resentment against law and order and dissatisfaction with meals and tobacco, riot broke loose in Stony Mountain penitentiary Saturday, raged two hours, brought death and damage, and sent officials Monday into a probe to uncover ringleaders.

Half an hour before the convicts started the battle mysterious telephone call was received in a Winnipeg newspaper office advising an editor "to keep an eye on Stony Mountain penitentiary," 25 miles northwest of Winnipeg.

Questioned on the telephone then, Warden G. W. MacLeod said there was no indication of trouble.

(Lieut. Col. MacLeod, D.S.O., lived in Edmonton for 26 years before his appointment as warden of Prince Albert penitentiary in April, 1933. He was appointed Stony Mountain warden last April 1).

Two hours later George B. Forsythe, 28, convict, was dead; windows and machinery were smashed and furniture was destroyed. Two other convicts were hurt by fragments of exploding gas bombs used against the convicts and guards alike to quell the outbreak, second serious disturbance in the history of the institution and seventh in recent years in Canadian penitentiaries.

The rioting prisoners surrendered to the barrage of gas bombs and fear of further shooting. Cowed. the prisoners were marched to their cells. Order was restored at 4:00 p.m. Saturday but Sunday church services were suspended and all convicts were kept locked in their cela.

Throughout Sunday, there was no Indication of resumption of the riot. Forsythe, serving his second term in the institution, was shot by a watchtower guard as he attacked an unarmed cell guard with a foot-long knife at the climax of the melee between convicts and guards in the prison courtyard. An in-quest into his death is being conducted Monday.

Unconfirmed reports were current that wholesale delivery of convicts from the penitentiary was contemplated. The telephone call to the Winnipeg newspaper office lent credence to the belief convicts who recently had been released had been participants in preparations for the riot.

Warden Describes It Col. MacLeod described the out-break:

At about 1:30 the various working gangs marched to their places, some to inside shops and others outside. The crew at the gravel pit refused to work an joined that of the stone-shed. These men united and walked into the 'dome" (prison courtyard visible from inside shop windows.)

In the "dome" they began "yammering" and their mates shouted encouragement from within. The riot spread to the shops. From the kitchen and the tailor shop were thrown scissors, knives and other utensils.

Guards among the convicts, unarmed, fought to retain order and warned the men against violence. The yelling and struggling grew. Machinery in the shops was wreck-ed, windows were smashed. Tear gas bombs were hurled into the "dome," both guards and convicts exposed to their discharge.

Convict Forsythe "was seen with a long knife, believed thrown from the kitchen," said Warden MacLeod. "As he attacked a guard, he was shot from the water-tower and he died in hospital shortly after-wards."

Page 1 & 2. --- SEVERAL INJURED WHEN GAS BOMBS USED BY GUARDS ---- Dissatisfaction With Food, Tobacco Declared Cause of Outbreak ---- QUIET ---- Knives, Scissors From Work shops Used by Prisoners In Battle ---- STONY MOUNTAIN, Man. April 28 - Born in resentment against law and order and dis satisfaction with meals and tobacco, riot broke loose in Stony Mountain penitentiary Saturday, blossomed into death and damage and sent officials tonight into a probe to find the ringleaders.

SUNDAY CHURCH SERVICE SUSPENDED Half an hour before the convicts went on the damage-dealing escapade, a telephone call from an unidentified person was received in a Winnipeg newspaper office informing the editor to "keep an eye on Stony Mountain penitentiary," 25 miles northwest of Winnipeg. Questioned on the telephone, Warden G. F. MacLeod said there was no indication of trouble.

Two hours after the phone call, George B. Forsythe, 28, a convict, was dead, windows and machinery smashed and furniture destroyed. Two other convicts were slightly hurt by fragmentary bits of exploding gas bombs, used against convicts and guards alike to quell the outbreak, second serious disturbance in the history of the penitentiary.

The rioting prisoners surrendered to the barrage of gas bombs and fear of further shooting. Cowed, the prisoners were marched to their cells. Order was restored at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon but Sunday church services were suspended and all convicts were kept locked in their cells. Throughout Sunday there was no indication of resumption of the riot.

Forsythe, serving his second term in the institution, was shot by a watch-tower guard as he attacked an unarmed cell guard with a foot-long knife at the climax of the melee be-tween convicts and guards in the prison courtyard. He died shortly after being wounded. An inquest into his death will be conducted tomorrow.

Unconfirmed reports were current that wholesale delivery of convicts from the penitentiary was contemplated. The telephone call to the Winnipeg newspaper office lent credence to the belief convicts who recently had been released had been participants in preparations for the riot.

WEAPONS THROWN FROM WORKSHOPS Col. MacLeod, who took the wardenship of Stony Mountain April 1 after two years as warden of Prince Albert penitentiary, described the out-break:

At about 1:30 the various working gangs marched to their places, some to inside shops and others outside. The crew at the gravel pit refused to work and joined that of the stone-shed. These men united and walked into the "dome" (prison courtyard visible from inside shop windows).

In the dome they began yammering and their mates shouted encouragement from within. The riot spread to the shops. From the kitchen and the tailor shop were thrown scissors, knives and other utensils.

Guards among the convicts, unarmed, fought to retain order and warned the men against violence, The yelling and struggling grew. Machinery in the shops was wrecked, windows were smashed. Tear gas bombs were hurled into the "dome", both guards and convicts exposed to their discharge,

Convict Forsythe "was seen with a long knife, believed thrown from the kitchen," said Warden MacLeod. "As he attacked a guard he was shot from the watch tower and he died in hospital shortly afterwards."

Apparently with the shooting of Forsythe the riot lost its intensity. The men were marshalled into their cells and there has been no trouble since.

At Stony Mountain Penitentiary the convicts had been complaining of poor meal service. Warden MacLeod explained the practice was for them to line up at the kitchens with their separate trays and return to their cells to eat. The convicts said their food was cold by the time they had reached their cells.

Warden MacLeod said perhaps there was rather a longer walk bet-ween the kitchens and the cells than necessary, but this was due to the structural layout of the institution. Even now the building is being alter-ed, one wing being extended and a new front constructed. These changes will facilitate handling of men, he declared.

"Manitoba Convict About To Stab Guard Shot in Riot," Regina Leader-Post. April 29, 1935. Page 1 & 2. --- NEWSPAPER IS "TIPPED OFF" BEFORE FIGHT ---- Mystery Phone Call Warns of Trouble to Occur in Prison ---- (By Canadian Press) STONY MOUNTAIN, Man., April 29. - Born in resentment against law and order and dissatisfaction with meals and tobacco, riot broke loose in Stony Mountain penitentiary Saturday, blossomed into death and damage and sent officials into a probe to find ringleaders.

Mystery Phone Call Half an hour before the convicts went on the damage-dealing escapade, a telephone call from an unidentified person was received in a Winnipeg news-paper office informing an editor to "keep an eye on Stony Mountain penitentiary," 25 miles northwest of Winnipeg.

Two other convicts were slightly hurt by fragmentary bits of exploding gas bombs, used against convicts and guards alike to quell the outbreak, second serious disturbance in the history of the penitentiary.

Convicts Locked in Cells The rioting prisoners surrendered to the barrage of gas bombs and fear of further shooting. Cowed, the prisoners were marched to their cells. Order was restored at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon but Sunday church services were suspended and all convicts were kept locked in their cells. Throughout Sunday, there was no indication of resumption of the riot.

Forsythe, serving his second term in the institution, was shot by a watch-tower guard as as he attacked an unarmed cell guard with a foot-long knife at the climax of the melee between convicts and guards in the prison court yard. He died shortly after being wounded. An in-quest into his death will be conducted today.

Describes Outbreak Col. MacLeod, who took the wardenship of Stony Mountain April 1 after two years as warden of Prince Albert penitentiary, described the outbreak:

At about 1:30 the various working gangs marched to their places, some to inside shops and others outside. The crew at the gravel pit refused to work and joined that of the stone-shed. These men united and walked into the "dome" (prison court yard visible from inside shop windows).

Battle Convicts Guards among the convicts, unarmed, fought to retain order and warned the men against violence. The yelling and struggling grew. Machinery in the shops was wrecked, windows were smashed. Tear gas bombs were hurled into the "dome," both guards and convicts exposed to their discharge.

Convict Forsythe "was seen with a long knife, believed thrown from the kitchen," said Warden MacLeod. "As he attacked a guard he was shot from the watch tower and he died in hospital shortly afterwards."

Apparently with the shooting of Forsythe the riot lost its intensity. The men were marshalled into their cells and there has been no trouble since.

Serving Second Term George Forsythe was serving his second term. In 1926 he was sentenced to five years for robbery but with time off for good conduct and industry was released in 1930. In 1931 he was sentenced to 12 years and 12 lashes for attempted murder, arising from robbery with violence. He was sentenced in 1930. Warden MacLeod would not say Forsythe was a "bad actor" nor would he name him as the ring-leader.

Col. MacLeod declined to attribute Saturday's uprising to any specific trouble or complaint. He explained that in all Canadian penitentiaries just now there was a certain tendency to rise against law and order. Actually, he added, prison treatment of convicts was far better than ever before.

Complained of Meal Service At Stony Mountain penitentiary the convicts had been complaining of poor meal service. Warden MacLeod explained the practice was for them to line up at the kitchens with their separate trays and re-turn to their cells to eat. The convicts said their food was cold by the time they had reached their cells.

Warden MacLeod said perhaps there was rather a longer walk be-tween the kitchens and the cells than necessary, but this was due to the structural layout of the institution. Even now the building is being altered, one wing being extended and a new front construct-ed. These changes will facilitate handling of men, he declared.
