Inmate crossing

Second plug for a new courthouse: Better security. A group of 17 inmates - 15 men and 2 women - chained together just walked past me in the narrow hallway. One man asked how I was doing. The police kept order and kept them moving, but the atmosphere is zoo-like with the inmates trekking across the floor, people coming on and off the elevator and attorneys and their clients all in the hallway together.
