episode six: The Boom Boom Room, conjugal visits, Greg, lockdown, Maverick…
-
conjugal visits
only allowed in California, Connecticut, New York, and Washington
-
at San Quentin, this means getting to spend 48 hours with family in a cottage on the grounds of the prison
the cottage has normal appliances that allow the inmates to do things they can't in prison (cook meals from scratch, take a hot shower, use a regular mirror)
inmates get less write ups when conjugal visits are an option because getting a write up takes you off the list for family visits

Maverick
-
-
at his previous prison, convicts had an understanding that the patio during the first and last hours of visiting days were "couples only"
"The boom boom room"
-
multiple couples would form a wall outside this door to prevent anyone from entering while one couple spends time alone inside the room
couples worked together and helped each other out because they all have the same desires and understand the value of being able to spend time alone with family
tone
while describing the possibilities for his conjugal visit, Greg joyfully describes being able to cook a meal and then clean and put away the dishes
the tone of his voice in this moment tell the listener a lot about how inmates are deprived of normalcy, as even these small actions that people in society normally dislike doing are what Greg is hoping he will get to do during his visit
Earlonne-marriage
-
now that inmates with a life sentence can have family visits, Earlonne is rethinking his opinions about getting married
