One day, Fletcher visits the governor in his office to show him a stack of new books for him to check, before they will be stocked in the library.
Wainwright soon bullies the prisoners while on duty, including forcing Godber to clean spilled mashed potatoes from his shoe.
The next day, Fletcher has McLaren and Godber start a fight during lunch hour, under the claim that the food is not fit for consumption.
When Wainwright fails to quell the riot, Fletcher meets with the governor and convinces him to have Barrowclough end the situation.
Rather timidly, Barrowclough agrees and meekly tells the men to stop fighting, clean up their mess and report back to their cells.
