The inmates understand our concerns. They just want good, usable items.

That trip is always a very important part of our season. It's good for the team to spend a few days out of the water and bond. Everyone supports and helps each other while we're there and when we come back we're ready to rock and roll. I feel that our team is far ahead of anyone else.

We take anything that's good, clean and usable.

One of the concerns the state had about prior executions is that inmates were rendered too unconscious.

The team is really excited about getting the season started. They are looking forward to making themselves better swimmers each day.

They stayed in cabins with each other, it was interesting to see a group of girls who didn't really know each other that well come together.
