That's because although I think something like what would now be Year 17 *would* be more appropriate for recording the history of the community of the barge, a year like Year 7 referring to the maintenance calendar of the current barge unit is something I can wash my hands of, as it's not my area of activity.
Also, basically no one else cared either, so I figured there were not going to be cases of a Barge community history actually getting mucked up by the description year 7 of the barge unit.
I digress. I think you have a valid perspective that wardens have their powers for a reason, and that's frankly a more dignifying approach than presenting extremely common imprisonment practices as either the height of cruelty *or* the height of mercy. Notice for instance how wardens reading their own inmates' files is taken for granted. Why? I know some wardens actually think they shouldn't without permission. Why is one common practice condoned, the other condemned?
I respect your answer that you haven't heard anything in particular from other inmates, so I don't have too much more to ask. To be perfectly frank, I wouldn't believe that an inmate wrote this if that weren't too bold a lie in such a closed community. My investigation shall continue elsewhere...
