[edit] Plot summary

In this episode, Detectives Goren and Eames are investigating the brutal murder of a police/corrections officer.

The investigation leads Goren and Eames to a man released on parole who could be implicated in the murder, but soon they discover a clue that reveals the many secrets hidden behind the walls of a corrupt Brooklyn prison where unaccounted-for prisoners are secretly abused by the guards.

The key witness to exposing the ring lies is a prison nurse, who happens to be dating Detective Mike Logan. Since Goren and Eames are unable to get help from the woman, Logan is assigned by Captain Deakins to their team in order to find out exactly what is happening at the prison. As Logan aids Goren and Eames in their probe, they discover an unseemly political connection.

Ultimately, Goren, Logan and his girlfriend must jeopardize their lives inside the forboding walls of the prison.

[edit] Quotes

Deakins: As you said, we're Major Case. Let me discuss it with my detectives.
Logan: No problem. Maybe I'll have some of your Major coffee.

Goren: Do you remember Guard Kenna?
Chocolate Jimmy: Kenna, yeah. I remember him. Sure.
Eames: You had a dust-up with him for wearing double clothes.
Chocolate Jimmy: He had me strip down to my kimono, so all the people in the galleries could see.
Jimmy's Mom: You probably liked that.
Chocolate Jimmy: Shut up, Ma, they're talkin' to me!
Goren: Is your mom right, Jimmy? Or- or did you feel humiliated?
Chocolate Jimmy: I'm no Anna Nicole. I don't like bein' made a spectacle.
Eames: Then you'll be happy to know Guard Kenna was stabbed to death in his building two days ago.
Goren: Do you know anything about that, Jimmy?
Jimmy's Mom: He doesn't know anything. He just sits around eating biscuits. "Get a hobby," I tell him.
Chocolate Jimmy: I know things, Ma!
Jimmy's Mom: Ungrateful, biscuit-eating S.O.B.!

Logan: Oh, the "Patriot Act". Yeah, well, I read that in its original title, "1984".

Eames: I didn't know you could play Twister by yourself! (while walking into the conference room and finding Goren sitting on the floor, surrounded by neat rows and columns of open case files).
