Art LaFleur: Lockart

Quotes 

• Laurence Dvorak : Bring the camera over here. Turn it on. Mr. Lockhart, Albert, has been in this situation before, haven't you, Albert? See, Albert's first year here at the penitentiary was an eventful one: there was a riot in cell block 11, the prisoners took hostages, Albert had just been at the penitentiary oh 3 months I think it was. He was a fresh young man out of military service, heard he was one of the good guys, used to treat all the prisoners like human beings.

  Lockart : [grunts in pain]  I learned better.

  Laurence Dvorak : Albert was taken hostage, they didn't hurt him at first but then negotiations broke off and, well the inmates got a little restless.

  Lockart : Alright, Dvorak, I'll shut up, just turn the camera off.

  Laurence Dvorak : Well I'm sure the viewing audience wants to hear your story, Albert. You see for the next 17 days, until negotiations were completed, Albert became, Albert became what Miss Powers termed in one of her shows, 'a sex slave'.

  [laughs] 

  Laurence Dvorak : A sex slave. How about that, Alana? Being repeatedly raped in all possible ways if the records are accurate, for 17 days, some of it must've been pretty brutal too because well, Albert was in the hospital after that for about a month. One of his knees was permanently damaged, but that was just physical, I'm sure the real damage was psychological and emotional. Now I know that you didn't want this to become public knowledge but, well, I'm sure that your drinking buddies and your pals and your fellow guards will comiscerate with you and sympathize with your plight now that they know you've been a victim of a repeated brutal rape. Until, you developed a great hatred for the prisoenrs, and for the prison itself I'm sure. Question is, why did you come back to work at the very location of your shame?

  Silsbee : So's he can get some payback.

  Laurence Dvorak : Correct. Yes because we all know of another riot about five years ago, hmm? And when negotiations broke off there and guards were ordered to attack, you were on the wall with a rifle, weren't you? And the guards were ordered to fire, but fire over the heads of the inmates, but 9 men in the yard were hit, 4 died, and 3 of them were leaders in the previous riot. There was an investigation and ballistics tests, but there was only one man reprimanded. Albert. He was given 3 months' suspension, for murder.

  Silsbee : Bastard. Treats us like animals, he just as bad, but he gets away with it.

  Laurence Dvorak : Well I can understand why Albert treats us the way he does, simple anger. I can even understand the foolish act of bringing a loaded pistol into a place where weapons are forbidden, it's simple fear What I cannot understand are the minds that excuse the murders that he committed. Turn it off.
