And also in my opinion. You as an individual must set certain principles and standards that will follow you where ever you go-including prison. Yes! Even ex cons have character. It takes you a long way. I don't involve myself with incarcerated individuals' spouses. I don't disrespect elders. I don't play homosexual jokes(because it entices violence)and I'm not homophobic. I don't ridicule and prey on the meek, and my list continues. I'm a Cleveland, oh native(GOTRIBE!). And where I come from the streets represent prisons and vice versa. Hell! You can even establish a covert relationship with female COs and bypass the Gay Scene all together by having the female officer pull strings to have you work(bullshit 15 cents a day)around her for up to 12hrs a day. Sometimes even cleaning the showers just waiting for the opportunity to give her some penal pleasure! I've done it. And trust me there are some BABES working as prison guards nowadays. Homosexuality in prison is optional, being there is not. But overall I choose freedom and family.Because once its said and done that's all that matters the most. Just remember that your manhood is all that you have once you're stripped of everything. And it's definitely worth dying for any place any time! Guards Up! Emotions Down! Peace.
