Oh Marsha!  That makes me so mad.  I can't believe they'd cancel the whole 
thing like that.

Who's above the prison superintendent?  Perhaps a phone call to that person 
would get results?  Scary that the prison superintendent doesn't care about 
following laws.

And nevermind about the kids going.  I forgot that you're in college.  I was

thinking of a school field trip or something.
