When Zuko and Sokka first arrived in the prison yard, the bully guard was goading Chit Sang in order to force him into firebending, which was prohibited for inmates. After Chit Sang, his girlfriend, and his friend's escape attempt failed, Chit Sang was interrogated so as to divulge who masterminded the plan; he accused the bully guard of being the instigator, as payback for the bully guard's earlier harassment of him. As a result, the guard was arrested and taken in for questioning. His interrogation was interrupted by Princess Azula, who cleared him of the charge, explaining that he was not associated with the escape attempt.
