Just a thread to share tales from the dark side, gamgs, crime lifestyle and prison facts.


FACT:
If you go to jail and get a double yolker egg they count it as two eggs and make you share it.

Jail therapists get really awkward when you mention feeling sad about draconian conditions / rats/ cop abuse and then are like haha yeah uhhhh but besides that, how's life?

There were so few white people in my jail in America that me not joining either of the "gangs" for whites in jail caused them serious logistical problems re: membership numbers

Lol most of the swastika types just hung out with guards or the sheriff / deputy types (the more stars you have, the more likely you are first name basis with the Aryan gang types it seems)

They'll poison your entire block, deny your complaint about it on procedural grounds, and then threaten you with inciting a riot if you mention how many people got sick from the food in your complaint

Also the guards are responsible for getting you and authorizing complaints to begin with so yes, they are their own oversight committee, and yes, it works as well as it sounds

I made one of the aryans mad because he was using an obscure old local racist term for a black person, and the literal child he was making GBS threads on(like 18) year old didn't even understand what was going on, so I made fun of the Aryan for being a failed racist using old terms that the dude didn't even get

He was really wideyed over it lmao. Also I wouldn't have even known what it meant but I have a really good memory and I remember a news article about , lol, a local cop using the same word at a pro baseball player(on the local team even) during a game and me learning it from that.

I barely remember the kid but looking at Aryan guys shocked scrunched up face at a "fellow white" making fun of his racist efforts was really amusing and I won't forget it

Oh yah I did tell a story about nichelle Nichols in jail, and how she met MLK at a party and he told her to not quit star trek

Other than reading a bad star trek book in there, that's my jail star trek tie in I think

E: it was 2 bad star trek books now that I think of it, but one was so bad I didn't read it. It also happened to be the only other trek book I ever read in my life, back in my sxhools library in the 90s lmao

My state, in America, which I live in, spelled that state incorrectly on my jail ID. Among other typos and one mutually exclusive set of instructions about simultaneously never not having your ID on you, but also that it was illegal if it left your cell

It's the only thing I smuggled OUT of jail because not spelling the name right was ridiculous, and also I was the only person that had noticed among guards or inmates that had been there for years lol

E: another funny jail fact: reminding guards they've been there longer than you and will be there after you're gone is very amusing and has about a 80% trigger rate

My block had some enterprising showmen and we had a nightly jeopardy game for about 3 weeks. It's really funny because jail jeopardy has the "correct" answers decided on by consensus lol

I had a pretty good personal library of almanacs and cross language dictionaries / encyclopedias etc and would frequently just shake my head at the poo poo people would agree was the right answer on stuff

"GUNS N DRUGS FOR THREE HUNNED?"

There was a multi night debate about the amount of grams in a kilogram

They decided on 1008

Jail debates are rarely a thing to stick yourself in the middle of, but I was called an idiot for asking if they also thought a km had 1008 meters :(

The kilo means thousand crew was drowned out by the crew using algebra poorly to convert units over from ounces to figure it out

Some wannabe Aryan street urchin / what you assume an internet tough guy is like irl / tried to light up the block with his 19 year old wisdom and threats and managed to be so noodly all the aryans would make fun of him instead of the minorities he tried to pick fights with

He asked the big boy Aryan for help in fighting off the loudmouths making fun of him from across the block / through the cell doors, not realizing that same guy had been the loudest one mocking him

Not the part about cops but the prison guard part seems accurate in my experience

Human rights// whatever rights people think exist in America, largely don't, and prisons employ the literal dumbest people I have ever met

They'll deny you food, they'll shut off your water, take your clothes, throw your belongings (including sneakers etc, things not easy for all inmates to get) in the trash

They're literally their own oversight and have the ability to deny complaints inmates want to file against them, as I said. And I don't mean like, say the grievance is failed, I mean they don't let you file it to begin with because "they disagree " lol

This probably happens every other minute in every jail, and the whole block already knew. 100% of people that shipped out of the block you could see it coming a mile away.

The would be Aryan that asked his own tormenter to stop his tormenter didn't last long. He followed a black guy (very popular and nice, even the racists liked him) into his cell and tried to fight him

It's the only time I seen blood spatter on walls like CSI or whatever, and nobody saw Aryan acolyte again, and yes, his white brethren cheered when he got medevaccd out

Prison is a learning experience because it shows you what happens when you militaristically organize people too stupid to be cops and issue them Casio gshocks instead of service guns

What I'm saying is that there's a dumber, meaner version of cops and that's COs

On your first day in prison, scope out the biggest toughest looking dude in there. During breakfast go right over to him and suck the hell out of his dick.

How do you make it known in jail that you’re in there for growing 100 kg of magic mushrooms (or whatever benign crime) an that you’re not a chomo or a cannibal or something? Do other inmates try to sus it out or do they just ask you upfront?

In my case being white, the Aryan gang leaders call you into their office and interrogate/ recruit you

Jail is also massively segregated in every and any way they think it'll benefit the establishment. Cops, sex criminals (even prior ones) and those types would be on different blocks than I was.

If you're crip affiliated you go in a different block vs blood affiliated etc.

I was in the high profile/ max security block and one of the few people without at least one murder charge or facing life really, and that made the block more interesting than some, I guess

It was kinda funny seeing older gangsters get mad at literal young bloods for listening to crip rappers though, meanwhile the younger ones were like uhhhhh idgaf, stfu while I decorate my cell like a dorm and giggle all night

E: also lol if u even qualified for bail, honestly
