The guard leader, Barris (Forest Whitaker), allows the dying inmate to have the insulin (once again breaking the rules, and once again nothing happens). Within two days, he’s beginning to die, but the experiment is not called off and the guards cannot give him the insulin because of the “nothing from outside world is allowed in” rule.ĭay four, Travis bribes a guard into trying to steal the insulin from the bag to save the inmate.
