Brad returned to the prison today. While his group was signing in one of guards said the Director (warden) wanted to talk with them right now. Ok, hope we haven't done something. The Director begins talking very fast and Brad is suppose to serve as the translator for the rest of the group that doesn't speak Spanish. Brad is understanding nothing and is not sure what to do. God provides the answer. There is a guy in the office sweeping the floor who comes to the rescue. He speaks very good English and translates for us. The Director asked if we could provide the money to buy a metal detector - the wand type - because the prison needed one and they had no money. He then showed us 5 or 6 very big knives/machetes that had been confiscated from the inmates. These things were BIG.
A little different from the States. Never had the prison ask if we could provide funds for security purposes. Roger, the gentlemen who Brad goes to the prison with is going to try to help.
