The Thought Police had testified in court against Ed Cummings.


The judge rules on whether Ed is guilty of probation violation:

committed his third DWI offense. In fact, he had killed someone. The
judge ordered that person held on $50,000 bail. Ed Cummings, however,
was another matter. The judge ordered Cummings held on $250,000.

was thought to have taken batteries out of a tone dialer years ago. He's
in a 5 by 8 holding cell 22 hours a day with no windows and no clock.
He never knows what time it is or whether it's day or night.

The temperature reaches a maximum of sixty degrees and he has only one
layer of thin cotton clothing and one blanket. To add to his misery,
he was just notified that the Haverford Township police will destroy
the property they seized from him last year unless he picks it up by

The prison itself was built right after the Civil War. There are tons of
roaches and graffiti in all the cells which dates back to the fifties
- the last time it was painted. There are 1200 inmates.
