We met with Ramel Small who is a prison guard at ritkers island and other prisons. Ramel has been a guard with many different ages of people, ranging from 16 years old to senior citizens. The younger prisoners would stay in the “bubble” which is where they stayed. The bubble was one of the main places where fights would occur because there was only 3 guards compared to the 50 prisoners. There have been instances when Ramel was in danger of being attacked, one time all 50 of the prisoners wanted to fight him but he ended up being fine.
