Wow, looking at this thread it would seem half our prison population dies by murder or suicide.

Famous last words.

If you want to stay safe, just repeat after me:

"Sodomy does not make me gay."

I'd befriend the 6'5" 300lbs bible-thumping, morally-righteous, sodomy-is-evil bald guy. I've got people skills. I'd deliver the LULZ and he'd protect me. We would totally be BFF.

I'd kill and maim until I got away or was killed in the process, BEFORE I even got to prison. That said, I would never do anything that I would deam necessary of a prison sentence, so if someone wants me in prison, they want me in prison for BS reasons. Thus my fight or die attitude.

My next door neighbors son did 3 years. He is a little white guy. He said the worst part of prison was the boredom and lack of privacy. It was a newer prison with pod system. Said it was like living in all male college dorm that you could never leave. Lots of TV, cards, and weight lifting.

I'm from Iraq. Either they'll think I'm Osama's nephew and leave me the fuck alone, or they'll decide to exact revenge on me for "terrorism".

I think prison might be cool. Save for the potential expansion of an orifice, I could read a lot and expand my mind, work out and get all muscular, and make friends with people who could sneak sh!t in. It'd be an excellent humbling experience.

Guess where shank-makers hide their product when guards do random searches?

Hope you got some lube.

Well, if you're in ISO you can't get assraped now, can you?

cops love assraping prisoners.

It depends on who you say it to. It might turn coldmeat warm.

i'd try to get solitary , i'd be fine by myself
WILSOOONNNNNN!!!!


COMPANION CUUUUUUBE!!!!

Be sure to scrawl various things on the walls about the nonexistent nature of the fluffy, frosted pastry-type confection.

I'd be curious to see how bad solitary confinement really would be. If I'm on vacation from classes or work, generally I just stay in my apartment, save for going shopping. There have been times when I've gone days without speaking a word, or seeing another person. Those have been some of the most serene, calm times I've ever known.

:laugh: Yeah, FPMITA prison is no place for a scrawny white guy.

probably not long, although i'm a big guy, so that might help me out a bit. on the other hand, i'm pretty meek and kind of of nerdy looking i guess. if they bothered me, not long most likely. hopefully no one would bother me, lol.

I think i'd kill myself before going to prison. I'd be the prison biatch.

I totally agree, I'd be raped and gagged within an hour.

5'10" white guy - 120lbs ±5lbs.

"...looked like a stiff breeze would blow him over."


Either way, it wouldn't be pretty, but I might die trying. If I had to fight dirty, I would.

Holy hell that is light for 5' 10".

Forever.

Since I require the equivalent of nursing home care because of my disability, they would put me in one of those nursing home/retirement home deals. I'm not a physical threat to anyone, including myself, and I can't escape without assistance.

Come to think of it, what the fuck could I do that would get me any time? Hire someone to murder my enemies?
