TV makes it look so fun

I've been in both jail (90 days) and in Federal Prison (6 months) and I've done house arrest for a year.

It's not like the movies. It's far more serious and not quite as agressive. Prisoners are separated. They ask your sexual prefrence because gays are kept together. They ask you religion and they try to keep all religious groups together. They go by your offence and if you stole fifty bucks while pick pocketing an old lady you are not going to be bunking with a murderer. Respect EVERYONE, Under estimate NO ONE, and if you are white don't go starting shit with black just because you are white. Make sure the leader of your group has yoru back or else you will be disciplined by your own people. Chill.

You do NOT have to join a gang. Unless that's how you roll. You can't be one of those guys with a shaved head and gang signs tattooed on yoru skull and then expect not to be in a gang. On the flip side you can't be a guy who works for the Geek Squad and then expect to roll up and be with the South Siders eating at their table. Stick to your own the first week. You see somebody who is cool, be cool. You see somebody who is a dick, stay away and don't fuck with him. Lions don't associate with deer, snakes don't hang around and chill with birds. If you're a bird, kick it with the birds and stay clear of the lions. It's a jungle, no shit. YOU DO NEED FRIENDS, but not a gang. if you'er not in a gang, don't join one because you'll be the bitch. LITERALLY!

YES! People get fucked up by other inmates. Not as often as you see on TV. If you're cool and you respect EVERYBODY and if you don't wreak of bitch, you'll be fine. Most people just want to serve their time and get back out there. Most people. be careful, never disrespect ANYBODY unless you are going to back it up with a nice beating and then have the backup to not to get murdered while in the shower or during chow. Chill.

Fun? I'm 6'5" 325lbs and can bench close to 400 pounds. I'm Italian meaning I'm white so I can be in the Wood Pile (whites) yet I'm also dark so I can join with the South Siders (Mexicans) just depends on who I want to roll with. Once you make up your mind, you can't switch and it's got to be done in 5 minutes. I was scared. I cried. Not sleeping with a woman by my side, not kissing my kids, not being able to wake up and drive my Mercedes to the corner store to get a diet coke when ever I felt like and not being able to watch TV, listen to the radio, go out side, take a shit without 50 people watching me, not being able to jerk off when I feel like it, not being able to take a nice hot shower ALONE when you feel like it, not being able to eat when you want, not being able to eat what you want, not being able to eat how much you want, not being able to call yoru friends and go to a drive thru when you're bored, not being able to do anything except sit and think! That's fun?

Bro, if that is your idea of fun then I suggest you go write a note saying "PUT ALL THE MONEY IN A BAG BITCH OR I"LL KILL YOU!" and drop it off at your locak bank. You'll be having fun in no time!
