Why was I in jail, you may be wondering? Back when I was 18 I was caught using bottle rockets and fined by the cops. I never got the notice to appear in court, so I thought sweet! They must have made a mistake. I didn't even know I had a warrant for my arrest until I was pulled over last year. I went to jail right there and then. It was not pleasant man. I had to join a gang for protection and was almost beat to a bloody pulp by a big black guy for using "their" phone. Apparently, there are 6 phones and each set are only to be used by certain racial group. Luckily my gang leader intervened and told him I was new. They have all sort of rules... make sure you obey them at all costs. If you need some advice, let me know.
EDIT: My lawyer told me I have the record in the California for having paid the most for such a ridiculous crime. I don't know if I should be proud of that.

So by joining a gang for protection, what did you offer in return? How did that work?

I wish I could tell you that Mill fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but prison is no fairy-tale world. He never said who did it, but we all knew. Things went on like that for awhile - prison life consists of routine, and then more routine. Every so often, Mill would show up with fresh bruises. The Sisters kept at him - sometimes he was able to fight 'em off, sometimes not. And that's how it went for Mill - that was his routine. I do believe those first two years were the worst for him, and I also believe that if things had gone on that way, this place would have got the best of him.
Holy shit i'm laughing so hard right now. Best post ever :laugh::laugh:
You heard it in his voice, didn't you?
Yeah, and now every post I read in this thread is in the same voice. It's quite pleasant to be honest

OK. I'm just wondering if he could pay for things in money or something. I guess everything is always about sex when it comes to prisons. I'm surprised prisons don't have 95% HIV infection rates.

Hmm, how do you keep a bunch of people in suspense?

State prison.
You haven't made it clear if you are going there for a visit or for incarceration.
I don't know anyone there to visit.

When you get to the transfer room (a big room, houses probably a hundred + people), there is a room leader that announces the rules. He tells you that you must join a gang based on your race. I simply went to the spot where "my gang" was located and slept near that section. The gang leader tells you the more specific rules. For example, I couldn't take a shower if there was an Asian or a Black guy already there. The Hispanic and White inmates seem to have an alliance. An Armenian guy got beat up because he didn't clean the sink after shaving. I would say following the rules is the most important thing.
For the record, there was no raping of any kind. Nothing bad happened to me, but the overall experience was traumatic in and of itself.

It is funny how everyone is insulting, but no one ever came up with the correct reason. It is a requirement for a corrections class I am taking (school related).
It is "indeterminate" because we have no idea how long it will last. It may be 2 hours or it may be 4 or 5. It really depends on how the prison is that day and the attitude of the inmates. I didn't want to reveal the name for security reasons, and that remains the truth.
For all the whiners... I do plan to update the thread with my experiences. It is pretty rare to allow independent parties to go into a violent prison (it is one of the worst in the Southeast) and actually have contact and interact with inmates. This will partially give things away, but we are going to Death Row as well (Alabama has two). I won't reveal more than that for security, and I probably should not have even said that much.
I think you all will get your money's worth when I update with the experience. It is supposed to be pretty insane.
