And not just anyone. Days later, police arrested Alexander Friedmann, one of America’s most prominent prison-reform activists, as he tried, once again, to sneak into the building. For months, Friedmann, always carefully wearing a mask, posed as a laborer and entered the facility. He hid guns, razor blades, and tools in secret compartments throughout the building—one behind a mirror in a bathroom, another in a visitation room. The officer on duty at the time of Friedmann’s arrest called the sheriff’s office in shock. “You’re not going to believe this,” he said. “We got Alex freaking Friedmann.”
