The Raiders were playing, although I don't remember who. Someone in the overly-packed holding cell threw his shoes at the TV until he broke it, and what looked to me like a full scale riot broke out. I'm not a hundred percent what happened after the violence started, because me and fifty of me newest friends were piled in the corner, alternately begging rival gang members and guards to please not beat the shit out of us.
