A guided tour of Baxter

Issue 

You can keep your camera's lens cap on
but turn your tape recorder off.
We'll tell you when you've heard enough.
Inmates expect to be treated rough,
shade your eyes, don't try to bluff.
We'll tell you when you've seen enough.
Don't talk to them they'll only lie,
and only one or two will die.
You've seen it, end of visit — that's enough.
