Most of the day is structured. You wake up early, eat breakfast, and get to work if you have a job—kitchen duty, laundry, janitorial work, or even making license plates. If you’re not working, you might be in a program like GED classes or drug rehab.
Afternoons are for recreation—basketball, weights, or just chilling in the yard. Evenings are quieter: dinner, TV, cards, or reading until lockdown. It’s not exciting, but staying busy helps the time pass.
