It's time to talk about the toilet business again. There was some process involved in relieving yourself. The prison had a big toilet inside the building, one where there are no stalls or partitions, just toilet bowls sitting in array. The ladies toilet was in another wing, and was reserved for the soldiers. That leaves this toilet being unisex.

The process involved was approaching one of the guards and telling him you need to go. If he says it's okay, and okay would depend on how many people have already gone inside the building you will walk toward the building entrance, where there's another guard in front of the door. You will also need to tell him about your purpose and he will let you in. The toilet wasn't so far from the door, so an escort was not necessary, besides there is nothing inside where you can do anything anyway.

Needless to say, being a unisex toilet and one that doesn't have any compartments means some adjustments was needed. Intuitively, the men would go together, and they will refrain from going to the toilet if a woman was known to be inside. Apart from a few harmless incidents, this arrangement worked well.
