Dear Ms. Breckwith: 

I spoke with Judge Hawthorn regarding your letter, and he has 
agreed to your request for administrative detention for a period 
of 8-12 weeks. 

For your own safety, your incarceration will require a plausible 
cover story.  Judge Hawthorn has agreed to cite you for contempt 
of court, supposedly because of your refusal to name your sources 
to the grand jury that is investigating the insurance scandal your 
paper recently revealed. 

Since we do not have facilities for the initial booking of 
prisoners at this institution, the local police will take you 
into custody and prepare your arrest record, with mug shots and 
fingerprints.  The exact length of your stay at the local jail 
will depend on its particular transport schedule, but, rest 
assured, eventually you will be transferred here.

As you know, it is very expensive to hold someone in a maximum 
security prison.  Before Judge Hawthorn authorizes your release, 
therefore, he will require you to reimburse the state fully for 
the cost of your incarceration. 

This presents something of a conundrum, since your money and 
valuables will be taken from you when you are booked, and state 
law prohibits prisoners from conducting fund transfers while 
incarcerated.  Since the cost of your imprisonment will far 
exceed the scanty wages paid for jobs within the prison, I 
have arranged for your immediate participation in the Work 
Release Program. 

Work Release is a privilege, and only qualified inmates are 
allowed to participate.  A job will be selected for you, based 
on your attributes and abilities.  Note that, in some cases, an 
interview or audition with your prospective employer may be 
required. 

In my experience, many college-educated inmates are surprised to 
find themselves evaluated on the basis of their physical abilities 
and attributes rather than on their academic backgrounds.  White 
collar inmates are often embarrassed when they encounter friends 
that they knew before their incarceration while they are performing 
tasks that they might previously have considered beneath them. 

The range of jobs available to you will be further restricted by 
the necessity for securing employment profitable enough to cover 
the enormous daily expense of your incarceration.  Please know 
that all these jobs are honest work, and our ultimate goal is 
rehabilitation.  Your new work assignment will be designed to 
teach you structure, discipline, and responsibility and to give 
you the skills you need to once again become a productive member 
of society. 

You may recall that, during your tour, you met Miss Dykeman, our 
head matron.  Miss Dykeman was extremely enthusiastic about your 
upcoming incarceration, but she was concerned the local jail might 
not properly search and disinfect you.  She has informed me, 
therefore, that she will personally monitor your "reception" 
and ensure that your processing is complete and thorough. 

Miss Dykeman also expressed her concern that, as a "visitor," you 
might disrupt normal prison operations.  I assured her that you 
will be a prisoner, not a tourist, and, as such, you will not 
be exempt from our rules or disciplinary procedures, up to and 
including the use of corporal punishment. 

In response, she has promised to hold you to a "strict standard" 
of behavior.

She especially wanted you to be warned that, because of the 
dramatic increase in lesbian sexual activity, she has instituted 
a new policy: any inmate participating in a sexual act will be 
subject to corporal punishment, regardless of whether or not 
the act was consensual.  Although this may seem extreme, the 
difficulty in proving consent has made it essential. 

The rules and regulations regarding allowable contact between 
inmates in the cells and shower area will be explained to you 
in detail as part of your orientation.  I suggest you listen 
closely. 

Finally, you may wish to get your legal and financial affairs in 
order, since we do not permit visitors for the first 3 months, 
and I understand that a warrant for your arrest has already been 
issued.  Expect it to be served within 48 hours.  Because time is 
short, I have arranged for this letter to be marked for next-day 
delivery.  

I know you had a choice for your incarceration, and thank you for 
choosing the Texas State Prison for Women. 

Yours truly,

Randy Flucker 
Warden
TSPWRB
