Jail Gets a Bad Rap

I'm not saying that there are not some horrible Activities going on in jails. Police Brutality is a problem, the fact that there is no Independent board in order to allow or deny disciplinary action when trying to figure out what happened in any given situation.

And if you go to jail your first time, you are like "Oh my God, job, and what will my family think... 15 days for a class B Misedemeanor??!?!??! I can't do that" and they always accept like 2 years probation, which hardly anyone finishes, over the 15 days time served.

But if you aren't just a scared, quiet and especially uppity white boy. Then everything is fine. If you just chill with everyone, play some dominoes, trade/gamble some food. And if you are white try to avoid adding anything to the Wood Pile, when you start a white person sharing circle it becomes racist.

There's no (not supposed to be) any drugs or alcohol. Food is money.

But you get to meet tons of people. Just collect numbers and facebooks, etc. And if you can bail anyone out you can help someone out in a way that builds trust. If you can't bail anyone out, put money on someone's books. Jail is actually a good place to find people who are ready to get started with some large scale stuff, and a lot of them.

And in State Jail people say Commissary is like Groceries, and the Inmates run the jail by a 30/1 ratio or something like that, maybe more.

There's just a bunch of dudes (or just a bunch of girl if you are a girl), that, the lack of drugs, the rations of food, the inability to leave or break from routine, not wear you own clothes, some people are nasty, some people are loud all the time, etc. but thpse are the only real problems.

And if you go in knowing the law, you can actually start a Poweer Structure.

I had my parents send me144 pages of supreme court case law, but just the most important paragraphs from each case. And I was helping people with their cases and getting lawyers to visit. And they were calling me Wise Man and Wizard and stuff, people I was literally getting charges dropped (double jeopardy) and lawyers to come visit and Press-Trial Releases.

And there is a case called Bounds V Smith where JAil Wardens and others were asked and they said that it was in the best interest of the nation to supply inmates with as much legal aid and access to law books as possible because it starts power structures. My celly was making people pay me soups for help sometimes, and he was like tatted up to his ears, and we would just hang out and watch Telemundo all day unless someone else came over, or another Spanish speaker came in the pod.

Tell me more about the soup, please fin. Hearty or brothy? Veggie or meat? Which ones were worth more? Did they have chili? I'd imagine chili would be more of a meal than a soup tho.
