We get let out for recreation time twice a week for about an hour and a half. Three other days of the week we are let out to access a phone for thirty minutes each time. We will be let out for a few minutes to walk to the counter and grab a meal tray when hot meals are provided. Otherwise we are issued a cold meal in a plastic bag to us in our cells. I can see two cell doors opposite of me through the narrow window on my cell door. An inmate in one of the cells opposite me has paper squares and an improvised chess board to yell to other inmates the moves of the game by numbering the squares of the board one through sixty four. I listened to him and another inmate exchange stories of their autistic sons. One of the kids would use a chicken nugget as a vehicle for barbecue sauce but not eat the nugget. The other inmates son would disassemble a cheeseburger and eat everything separately and not eat the beef patty. The guy across from me wants to sign up for a mentor just to be able to play chess against someone the regular way but doesn't have an actual chess set to do so. Am I allowed to want something for other people?
