I spent 13 months in the McConnell, Darrington, and Smith units in Texas on drug and weapons charges when I was younger. The rape myths are not fake but they are very rare. I don't mean to sound racist, but the rapes are pretty much committed by the mexicans. In Texas, the Whites and Blacks usually battle the Mexicans because there are so many. For the most part there is not to much sex shit going on, just fighting and violence. It was the craziest time in my life. Prison is not fun, it dosen't make you cool (American History X), and if you are white, be prepared to fight everyday for the first month you are there. Once people see that you are not going to ride for anyone the Down Woods will have your back and things will go alot smoother.
