it is hell.... it's boring as fuck, and you will have to fight unless you wanna get punk'd the whole way through your stay there.... even if you know you won't win you better fight back, even they beat your ass and they know they can, if you fight, they find someon else, who won't fight... someone they can walk up to and take their tray and they won't say shit....

but DO NOT go up in there like you're some hard ass... as that will draw everyone on you like flies on shit... stay quiet, do your time, fight when you have to, other then that try to stay to yourself... and never EVER snitch for any reason... even if they aren't involved, pretty much everyone in your unit/cell block will hate your ass and take ever oppurtunity to maek your life a living hell if they know you're a snitch...
snitching in jail is worse then snitching some one out on the streets.... about a week befor i got out of jail... i was bunked up with a guy... and he was always pissing me off... well... i called him a fucked up fucking idiot... and he got all but hurt about it... and ran off basicaly crying and told the guard...

well latter on, after rec, the guard came and pulled him out of our cell(they rarely pull you out of your cell after rec, during the guards break unless your going down to see the nurse...(it takes 2 minutes to get to the nurses office, and 2 minutes back...) this guy was gone for about 1 minute... and he came back in and said god damn that nurse is fucking stupid... and thats when i was like ok... im flushing all contraband right now.... and so i flushed my pens and penciles... the set of dice i had in my room.... the monoply boat... a few paper clips.... and 2 sets of cards(your only alowed to have one deck of cards in your cell were i was locked up at) and about 30 seconds after flushing the last card... they opend my cell... and serached it.... and i got put on lock down, because i told the kid as i was flushing everything, that if he said something to the guards... and they come in here and question me about anything, im kicking your ass... well he told them i said that... i got serached... they took the phone numbers of a few homies(2 of them back because i said that they were my cusians numbers, and the rest of the numbers i had were of people that were in my unit) but anyways, i knew i was getting out soon... so i didnt do anything about it... but i had 2 friends that were looking at 5 years...(the most i would have done was a year and got out because they droped a charge down to 3rd degree instead of 2nd degree) but anyways... while i was on lock down, my homie, who was looking at 5 years already, just beat the shit out of this kid... for snitchiing on me...

but personaly... im not sure what prison is like... ive only been in jail... wich is way different from prison... but i would have rathered of gone to prison... from what i hear the food is better... you have more free time...in the one i would have went to, you are alowed to have a CD player... they have a school were you can actualy get a GED... or become a certified welder....
