Once again, I'm seeing part B of a AB roll that I saw many many moons ago. Anyways, here, we start with a man speaking away at a fireplace, it's silent, so I'm guessing it's about how fine the prisons are here in Kansas. We then cut to some prison scenes. The prisons are shown to be clean, well maintained, and well, friendly places to be incarcerated. Just the way they ought to be!
