I was sitting on the 9th floor of the king county jail in downtown seattle. I was 19. I was admitted three days prior and during my booking a big fight broke out In the upper levels and everything went to lock down. I was stuck im a transition cell for hours at one point. When i was finally bunk, No tvs. No leaving communion room. I remember the cheers when lockdown was opened up the morning of and we were allowed in the. Communion room with the tvs. Watched the game while eating my jail lunch and fake coolaid drink mix. i also remember there were more la fans than portland fans and i knew i better just keep my mouth shut and watch the game.
i was 17. working at Kmart and was watching the game on my lunch. needless to say i was pretty pissed for the rest of my shift.
