Griffin watched the prisoners fight. He wasn't surprised that the guards intervened. He was surprised by how long it too them to react. You would think that guards at a prison like this would react faster. Maybe they were simply use to prison violence. Maybe they thought letting if the prisoners blow off some steam they would be able to handle them better. Griffin didn't know what they deal was. He wasn't sure that it mattered. All that mattered to him was that he had gained some useful information about a few of the others.
