When driving into town (Walla Walla) on a back road the other day, I noticed that several athletic fields had been built behind the state penitentiary. No big deal right? The thing that made my skin crawl was that there were enough lights to light up the athletic fields at night, as if for night games or, a more sinister purpose, monitor detainees; there is also a dedicated entrance to that area connecting the public road to the arenas, as if to allow bus loads of people to be brought to the arena areas with out the confusion of processing masses of people through the only other entrance; into the maximum security prison. Why lights? Maximum security prisons don't usually have night games. Why no bleachers or stands? Why a dedicated entrance to the athletic fields? If the complex is for prisoners, they can get there from the prison proper. With the addition of the entrance to the athletic fields, there are now two ways in and out. Why? Be afraid
