Surviving Maximum Security

[Mayfriday0529]

Did anyone watch this last night on National Geographic.

The Topic was Surviving Maximum Security

Holy Crap, just looking at the documentary no way i ever would want to do a crime, man it was like OZ (HBO)
They should show this video in high school so kids don't do stupid things.

Here is a link to the Story

First thing you got to do is join a gang of your own race and you will probably have to stab a few people.

There is the "scared straight" awareness program from the 80s (early 90s?). A quick googling and it looks like it's still active. Should be more prominent, I only heard about it on HBO, not in HS (graduated '96).

We quickly learned that prison life revolves around race. If you don?t ally with people who share your skin color, you are targeted for assault. If you are white, even if you are Jewish, you need to align with the Aryan brotherhood or the Nazi Lowriders or one these white power groups. One of the weirdest rules is that white inmates don?t let each other drink out of a drinking fountain after a black person has drunk out of it.

No Vid caps, doing a google search looks like Real Player might have a preview. They are going to show the program again on May 4th at 2pm

And if you are taken hostage your freedom will not be negotiated if it means releasing a prisoner.

well, no prison tours for me...EVAR

Scare straight didn't work on most punk kids because they're too stupid to know what fear means.

they show this part on how the prison has a special team just to crack down on weapon and contraband and they show all this knifes and weapons and they ask the guards where do this items come from and the guard goes to say
"I have no idea.... yet"
