    Should have been 32. 5 lost their way at Club 939. This is what happens when they are housed at an off site training facility…… Pagoda Hotel. They should look at a National Guard facility for schooling and housing public safety personnel from the outside Islands here for training.

    Hopefully they don’t succumb to temptations. Prisoners sit in their cell thinking of all kind of ways to get you on their side.

    I hope they don’t succumb to all the drugs and corruption from all the crooks. And then of course they have to pay attention to the prisioners too.
