The name on the street for the Oswald Maximum Security Penitentiary.
Only, big news: They've changed the name.

It's now called the Oswald State Correctional Facility, Level Four.
I don't know whatt the difference is.
Maybe it's truth in avertising.
Maybe by getting rid of the word "penitentiary" the state is finally admitting that nobody's penitent.... Nobody's sorry.....
NOBODY.


SOLITARY CONFINEMENT:
In 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville visited this country to study our penal system.
American penitentiaries were considered the ideal, enlightened way to rehabilitation. Putting a criminal in solitary allowed him time for quiet reflection.

But no man wants to think about himself all day, face the truth about himself every day, for the rest of his life.

JAILHOUSE CONFESSIONS:
You always gotta take them with a grain or two of salt.
Of course there is the chance that the inmate doing the confessing... is actually telling the truth. But more likely, it's a half-truth.
"Half-Truth"... How come it's never called a half-lie?

Now, you see, love... Love is the ultimate half-truth
"I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. So help me God."
So help me God.

There are some confessions that you can't even make to yourself... Yearning, desires that if you admitted to having, you'd have to stop being who you are. And the facade you've built so carefully would crumble, exposing to those around you what really makes you tweak.
