Theres studies done on those in confinement, and most people go insane, I doubt you'd be fine.

Since in jail, you have to find a clique that is your race: I'm 1/2 Jewish, 1/4 Mexican, 1/4 Navajo, with a German last name. I'm screwed............

My strategy would be to do something completely insane within the first 10 minutes so that they put me in solitary confinement. Give me a few books and the daily newspaper to read and I'm fine. :thumbsup:

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.[/quote]

gut your bathroom except for a cot and toilet paper/towel. Sit in it for a couple months and see how you enjoy that.

No computer, no books, no online, no shopping.

You'll have no problem finding inmates into scat/WS.

Prisons cater to every flavor.

I think if I ever get caught doing anything that could possibly end with myself in prison, I'd start working out and training as soon as I could, the day after I get caught, so then by the time I'd actually get convicted and sentenced, I'd have a couple months of training under my belt. Brush up on my martial arts and work on power. One I was in, I'd keep training and try to take care of myself.

I hope I never go, but you never know.

Not only am I a 5'7" 110lb scrawny white guy, but I'm one that's been confused for a female several times in the past. Definite prison bitch. :(

Tobias, is that you?

I'm a tax accountant, so I'd end up going crooked to win the support of the warden and the prison guards. Then I'd basically reenact the Shawshank Redemption.

You guys are weak. Going into it with a pussy attitude will attract the worst kind of attention from people who prey on weakness and opportunity.

There are 2 scenarios that you must choose from:

1) If you're in for the long haul, when you get in, you have to kill someone. Slash their throat then eat their heart or something. That lets everyone else know not to FSCK with you.

2) Don't say shit. Like never. Don't speak to people. They prey on people in for small crimes and people who emit that pvssy vibe. Don't be that guy. Keep to yourself and for the most part they'l leave you alone. Play cards, workout, watch TV and stuff, just don't ever speak.

(NOTE: I've never served a prison term)

If I could have an unlimited amount of books to read I'd definately be able to spend life in prison.

I used to work for a county's IT dept and had to go to all the prisons and jails in the county.

This was in Broward County, FL which is big and the worst was the maximum security areas, they kept the prisoners behind bullet proof glass there and it was one killer per cell, they were all lined up next to each other as you'd walk down the hall and some of them would run at you and start banging on the glass.

Scared the shit out of me a few times.

For some reason they'd always say "come here white boy!!!' while banging on the glass wall, even the white ones did :confused:

I always worked extra fast when I was working on the PC's at those guard stations.

Needless to say, if I had to share a cell with someone like them, I'd not last long.

Hey jpeyton.

Were you a prison guard or were you in prison, you know a lot about what goes on in prison.

Man, prison life looks dismal, I have never done anything to get me locked up.
Not out of fear of prison, but because I try to treat other people fair.

I have been friends with a lot of bikers and convicts, a lot of them would give you their last dollar but if you jacked with them...look out....

depends, I live in minnesota and the prisons here arent like the ones you see in cali or a lot of other states, I would hate it but I would make it. Now if I had to go to federal pound me in the ass prison or some southern state prison I wouldnt last a day.
