That reminds me, an officer I knew working at a maximum security prison, told me that if martial law was to ever go into effect, that the protocol called for execution/shooting of all inmates.
I said I didn’t know if I could do that. The officer said after being around them for a while it would be no problem-no hesitation whatsoever.
Qx has a relative he could check that out through. But not by email ... which is his only connection. LOL.
I suspect your prison guard friend was having you on.
