Read the following excerpt from We've Got a Job by Cynthia Levinson.
"They asked us if we had any weapons," James said. "They passed the basket around ... Nobody put anything in ... They
said, 'We're going to pass the basket around again. Because, if you don't go along with (nonviolence] totally, then don't go
at all.' They passed the basket again." This time, James dropped his fingernail clippers into the basket. After the second
circuit, he said, "It was full with pocketknives; somebody had brass knuckles, any little thing that people thought would give
them an edge... We didn't know if we were going to be mixed with the jail population. So you're wondering how you're
going to fit in with the guys who have been in there twenty years. There were a lot of unanswered questions."
