    This particular episode seems to be very inaccurate. For example: they had to hurry up and get dressed and make their beds. This makes it sound like they had changes of clean clothes, pillows and blankets. I don't believe that was the case. Also, to call what they were served "a meal" seems grossly inappropriate. They were basically starving these prisoners.
