Recently they threw him into isolation for three months and would not allow us to see him except once a month for an hour. Why? Because he, a documented retarded indivitual with poor scial skills and impulse disorder, unscrewed two screws from a vent cover to show off to his fellow inmate. They treated it as a genuine escape attempt even though difficult child didn't enter the vent and had said he had no intention of doing it at all. he further stated that he was "just fooling around because he was bored" -RM</p></blockquote><p></p>
