Mar 22	T. said TV would be fixed Monday but I know this is his day off and this the only reason he said it. It’s the old “be quiet now and Monday, I don’t care what you do” answer. TV had to be disconnected so Daryl H. could connect to my antenna. Daryl got a court order that he could not be put in that cell, but said he would volunteer to go if he had TV, so mine was disconnected. When that cell was remodeled for him, they also knocked out headphones and that was Nov 1, 79, not worked since. Wright told me Daryl would “make trouble” if he had no TV. Lt.
