      Things were so much better during this time. No non-binary bull crap. Transgenderism was frowned upon. Heck even being gay was taboo. I don't what happened in 20 years but this country is on a definitive collision course with disaster and I don't think there's any way coming back from it.

    I was in a max in NY. The wall jacks are TV audio and radio. And food in the SHU is the same from the mess unless you get in trouble there. Then they serve you "the loaf". Never had it but heard it was gross. It's supposedly everything on the menu that day all mixed up and baked into a loaf.

    The guy that had the fruit in the cell, and that cord that was coming out of the wall? That cord was hooked to a radio. A lot of jails, and prisons in New York had a plug-in in the wall so inmates could listen to whatever music they decided to put on that day. And every day it would be a different genre of music. So those were headphones that were plugged into a headphone jack.

      I believe everyone incarcerated does this to some extent, even if they're not aware of it. Especially people who have been in for a long time or in solitary confinement, you can see them retreat inside their minds and allow themselves to be lost in thought, even if they're walking laps or just sitting on their bunk. It's one of the things that freaks new inmates out the most, when they're used to constant stimulus of watching a screen or being distracted, and suddenly they are alone with their thoughts in a way that is rare in this era.

Previous to coming there he had gone undercover as an inmate in Auburn prison to see the corrupt bribing and relationships of inmates and lowly paid officers. The status quo establishment did not like him expising them and turning on its head. They tried to get rid of him politically by ruining his reputation with the state officials....but were unable to and continued his reform and shakedown.

    i first went to county jail in 1993 for 17 days through the 90s i did alot of county stints most being around 30 days and 1 at 210 days, i didnt land in prison until 2004 , while that may seem like a long time ago its not , but i was around alot of old school guys and they all said prison changed alot starting in the 90s because of the closing of mental instituitons and the tuff on drugs laws , so the population became less hard core violent inmates and more crazy people and average joes with drug posseion crimes,

      its never far away in my thoughts, jail didnt really change me much but prison puts a stain on you that u cant get off , sometimes i miss prison , sounds crazy but to know exactly what your status is in a 1000 man joint is a realness most people cant imagine , in prison you will be exposed as a fraud or your greatness as a man will be revealed@@MadeinDade47
