Behind the towering walls of Washington State Prison lies a hidden world of chaos and corruption, where gang leaders wield unchecked power, contraband flows freely, and those entrusted with maintaining order blur the line between authority and complicity. The murder of Dontavis Carter on January 7 is not just a singular tragedy but a haunting reflection of a system in crisis—a system where violence thrives, silence is coerced, and justice lies abandoned, much like the cracked gavel in the shadows of this forgotten institution.
