3. I've heard about this place

A few years back, I found myself in a bar in Bronx (I think it was Bronx, it was close to the World's Fair site) that was full of Riker's Island guards. Seriously, every one in that bar (except me and the 'tender) worked at Riker's.

Two of them had spent the day at Hart Island and the rest of them were giving them a pretty good ribbing about it.

It was one wild night - a half-crazy bartender, a guy with hair to his waist and a bunch of serious drinkers in prison-guard uniforms.

I wish I could find that bar again. Women who work in prisons are pretty uninhibited. Those women were, anyway.
