# 1 and # 6

Due to the many arrests made during the recent manifestations, there are 320 prisoners in the local jail. It was designed for 100 but usually holds 125 to 150 prisoners. The increased population plus the bad weather and the washing out of the main road from Port-au-Prince has left them no food. We were contacted by the prison director who begged us for help. Trusting in your continued support, we gave them three large bags of rice, one large bag of beans and two gallons of vegetable oil which will provide for them through Monday. What do #1 and #6 have to do with this? Think about it and let me know your answer. Will post your correct answer and name in the near future.
