“When a group of New

There's
that “mind” at work... 1) Use the prison library to learn law. 2)
Use the law to get what you need for an escape, sewing up wounds,
choking a fellow incarceratee, whatever. Pure genious.
Lead

I don't remember the federally assigned number, but I think the

dental floss was enumerated. I remember that part. In particular.
The
other uses for this everyday item, in the jail house, are
unbelievably creative.
