I have been to the joint and I never saw anything going on in the showers except showering. There were no crews of fools looking to make the new jack someones bitch.
The only fight I had in the joint was with a friend over something real fuckin stupid and we ended up in the hole for a couple of months each but I did not get into any other fights. I had respect.
Prison sucked ass but it was not like it is portrayed in the movies or on tv. Men want to keep what little dignity allowed them and homo sex in the joint is just not dignified. I mean we are gonna get out and have a women for cripes sake, it was just a time of abstinance to me.
Most people in prison are not doing life and want to get out on their release date and fucking with "bitches" will get your date changed because "Bitches" are usually rats too and will snitch you off in a heart beat.
