As I mentioned in another thread, I spent a couple months in Attica prison not as a prisoner but as a member of the military. This was back in the 70's.

When we left, we all agreed that we `wouldn't even spit on the sidewalk or do anything to get us back in there. We sometimes entertained ourselves at 2:00AM by sneaking down the gangways that ran behind the cells, and quietly turning off the utilities of those who gave us a hard time which pissed them off big time. A neat trick the regular guards taught us. D block is where the worst of the worst were housed. Even though we knew we would be going home soon, we were still locked in a cage
