Examples

“It makes me sad to see⟳ a prisoner complain⟳ about another prisoner not writing. His or her mailroom (or yours!) might have⟳ just tossed the letter; besides the rules and regs for prisoners writing each other are different in every state, and may change⟳ for no reason⟳. Or, the rules may be ignored (especially for gay prisoners) also, even prisons that do accept⟳ mail from other prisoners, may not deliver⟳ it to people in isolation or on certain security levels.”

“As I say⟳ for half a mile round the fort it is rutted gravel. We call⟳ this sort⟳ of gravelly stuff reg.”
