The Criminal Law book

Bio
"The Criminal Law" is a criminal law text book containing municipal and criminal codes. After Gilligan witnesses a staged murder, the Skipper and Professor see a need for a way to police the island. The Skipper becomes "sheriff," and Gilligan becomes deputy, but in his absence, Gilligan takes the laws of the book too seriously and ends up locking everyone in "jail," a cave with bamboo bars (possibly left over from Forget Me Not and The Hunter, including the Skipper who manhandles Gilligan to get the key back. Eventually, everyone gets out on "good behavior," but not until the Skipper gives Gilligan a taste of his own medicine. The list of "crimes" by the Castaways:
