I am completely in agreement that the system failed, 100%, and I'm almost 100% positive that maybe if I had been given the chance to be out of segregation, I would have been able to make it.
Brenda was talking about the time women spend in segregation. That is a really big thing. I am talking one hour, and that was for girls to cool down, not because they were being punished but for them to cool down because they were fighting. I was in segregation for 16 days at a time. That's a long time. I don't know if you have ever been segregated for half an hour or 45 minutes--
