As of 2012, Halden had 340 staff, including teachers, healthcare workers, personal trainers, and guards. Half the guards are women. Guards eat meals and play sports with the inmates, and are typically unarmed because guns "[create] unnecessary intimidation and social distance."

GMMore was really interesting to me...this was one of those relatively rare episodes where the guys really delve into some thoughtful, serious territory. I think the seriousness of the topic is part of the reason why Link was hesitant to come forward with an opinion -- R&L have been on record before saying that they want to keep their public-facing selves as much in the realm of entertainment as possible, and he was probably thinking about what debate they would be sparking among the audience (Ear Biscuits has also shown us that Link has a lot of anxieties regarding what will scare off their viewers).

The GMMore episode also ended very abruptly...I imagine this was also due to them getting too far into non-entertainment territory, and they probably just decided to cut it short in post.
