Days - Prison Security

I honestly don't know.  There may be exceptions to that.  The only example I'm aware of, of a prisoner and their visitor being in the same room, meeting at a table and not being divided by some type of partition was from Arrested Development; maybe one or two other shows.  I can't speak much to real life knowledge, but at the very least it's not impossible. I would give Days the benefit of the doubt, if not for the fact that both Ben and Will are in jail because they were convicted for being responsible for somebody's death.  Ben is supposedly on death row, or gets moved to death row once his final appeal has been exhausted.  The way they tap dance around Will's role in Adrienne's death makes me think that he was probably convicted on a lesser charge; involuntary manslaughter or something - maybe a car accident with Will behind the wheel.  Either way, I'm still convinced that the secret Victor and Xander are hiding, about being responsible for a man being falsely imprisoned, has to do with Will rather than Ben; because Ben and Ciara actually being right seems to straight forward.

Oh, of course; just like they've screwed up the one year jump and pretty much everything else.  

I was seriously annoyed with how naive they're making Victor out to be, in order for him to so easily accept that Ciara isn't lying to him.  I mean, for someone who's supposed to have the resources to know whatever he wants, Ciara seems to barely make any effort to cover her tracks.  She wasn't even feigning to see Will until more recently, after Victor pointed out that he knew she was making regular trips to the prison; yet didn't thinking to check up on who she was visiting.

They keep having Victor and Xander bring up the blackmail from the kidnapping, but always conveniently avoid anything specific that would actually link what they're talking about to Ben, even when it's just the two of them; which I find suspicious.  They usually only keep things ambiguous like that when they're trying to mislead the audience, ahead of a dramatic reveal.

Not sure who might be the real person responsible for Jordan's death though.  My guess is, they'll draw it out for as long as possible.  Ben will lose his appeal, there might be a confrontation between Ciara and Victor, where she insist she knows he and Xander framed Ben; only to reveal after she's left that it wasn't Ben they framed, but Will.  Ben will end up on death row and it'll be a race against the clock to uncover what really happened to Jordan that will only be resolved moments before he's about to be executed.

I did pick-up on Justin mentioning in a recent episode that the only DNA evidence they found came back as a match for two people, one to Ben and one to Jordan's son.  I feel like that could be indicative of something.  Probably not a Maggie Simpson-esque reveal, where we find out her son somehow killed her, but it seems too random to reveal that David's DNA was found on her.  It shouldn't work this way, at least to my knowledge, but I wouldn't be surprised if Days took that and have it turn out that the results that were linked to David were misinterpreted and were actually only a partial match to him and were in fact a hit to David's father; whomever that would turn out to be.

I was thinking along the same lines.  Not sure about him being David's dad, given his interest in Sonny, but that doesn't necessarily preclude it either; especially given Will father Ari.  His comments today about Ben and David being better off definitely made me suspicious of him.
