What would be the lowest score with 9 strikes and no gutter balls?

My first pass results in 135:

X X 11 X X 11 X X 11 XXX

Which is pretty lousy for that many strikes, but better than any game I’ve ever bowled. I don't see how you could get a lower score under the specified parameters, since any rearrangement would result in more turkeys than just the one in the last frame.

Why aren't U.S. prisons more like Marine Corps boot camp, were every second of the day there are mandatory activities so that at night everyone is so tired they go to sleep until wakeup at 5:30 am? Would this make prisons safer for all?
