Day 43

## Synopsis

Peaceful start of the day. At 09:45 during cleaning duties, Prisoner 104 performed Kung Lao style with the mop, recalling the memory of Prisoner 108.

During yard time, he performed a mock interview of the other prisoners and their motivation to do the Experiment. Prisoner 102 performed a rap with Prisoner 105 providing the background beat with his mouth.

Prisoner 105 who is the last remaining male prisoner, was allowed to move into the cell of the female prisoners. Before the move, however, he was made to cleanup a bunch of empty water battles lying in a corner of the male cell.

As a "cruel" test from Khovansky prisoners were not allowed to speak or sit down for an hour. The test failed in the way that prisoners had a lot of fun performing in the hallway of the cell block. The guards pulled up chairs and later even a bed and watched the prisoners performance through the grill.

In the evening, however, a rebellion started. Prisoner 105 tried to force open the grill by jumping against it with his full body weight. For this to happen, Prisoner 102 and Prisoner 103 hold up a mattress against the grill a cushion. The grill did not bulk but Prisoner 105 shoulder obviously got hurt from the impact.

Therefore he changed tactics and used the bed letter as lever against the grill. While he was unable to force the grill open, he caused significant damage to the door frame.

The guards gave a quick warning about them going to use pepper spray. The prisoners armed themselves with towels for their faces and they put the mattress up against the grill. Those measurements, however, had little to no effect.

They had to suffer for about 30 minutes in the cell, before the guards finally let them out of the building. They rushed so quickly, that they did not even take a jacket and closed shoes into the snowy yard. But the guards made sure they got proper clothes after about 5 minutes.

After about half an hour of yard time, guards and prisoners worked together to clean up. The prisoners cleaned the cell block, swiped the floor, handled out the mattresses and bed covers. The guards deposed the bed stuff in the yard and delivered 4 clean mattresses, two pillows and two bed covers into the cell block. They let the prisoners get together in the dining room for a glass of water.

Final lights out in the other cell was at midnight, roughly half an hour behind schedule.
