Inmate 324 was sentenced to extra yard time this afternoon, as he serves a life sentence in the most progressive penitentiary, experiencing unadulterated freedom whilst others live in permanent lockdown. The standard tools of cruel were employed in earnest, redefining what the Bureau of Prisons consider contraband. A good prisoner turns everything into contraband, making suppression nearly impossible. Unfortunately, CCT failed to record the entire incident and thus leaves only photos and literary rendition.
ReplyDeleteThe prison psyche is one of survival or suffer. Boredom and limited resources can either be one's undoing or the needed ammunition to transcend the stifling walls of confinement and associated stigma. While the deadening of the soul invites degeneration of the spine the mind is the only hope for inverting the relative misfortune and turning adversity into advantage.

This was a perfect combination of horsepower, finesse, and pain tolerance. Rest periods were kept at ~5:00. There were two opportunities for shaving time. The first was smooth actions and set ups; for example, dismounting the plates so they stayed upright was critical for the final farmer's carry. In an attempt to set a land speed record on the final round the plates were left to fall. Consequently, they were mishandled, causing a trip on the chain and two additional dismounts. Frustration robbed more time through rash action. Haste, in this case, really did generate waste. The other option was to go full throttle on the final chain drag. This would've altered the pace parameters and required an inordinate amount of recuperation. On a single effort this would be protocol thus illustrating the difference between training pace and performance pace. Just as a performance runner modulates his training speeds we should incorporate the same type of periodization into our activities. Despite the theoretical and practical evidence some schools of thought ascribe esoteric qualities to their training as though its unique properties require a different approach. Slow, medium, and fast speeds have a valuable place in a sound regimen where longevity and enthusiasm are cornerstones of endurance.
