4You've been assigned to Dorm C.
5That's our special circumstances dormitory for critical offenders.
6Your fellow inmates are murderers, armed robbers , rapists,
7and mental defectives.
8Just like yourselves, they've graduated top of the class .
9You will be treated with respect if you treat others with respect .
10I suggest you stay cool and follow all the rules.
11Your crime is not that you got caught, but the crime itself .
12Remember that.
13Hopefully, you will realize that what you did was wrong.
14Hopefully, you will never do anything like that again.
15This is a juvenile facility .
16That means you are not in charge of the zoo, we are .
17If you think you're hip , you're not.
18 If you were, you wouldn't be here .
19Have I made myself understood ?
