    The Code...There is but only one code, which dominates the streets, the prison , the society and even the nature.The Strong control the weak, they profit over them, they blackmail and hurt them and eventually kill them, either for selfish reasons, for survival or even for fun! Between these guys, respect is equal to the amount of fear/strength that you can generate, the more intimadating you are the better life and so called respect you will have. Make no mistake, there is no "real" respect even among the top guys, only fear makes them co-exist. They talk about loyalty to your race, honour, no snitching but they are almost always ready to rat for an opportunity and to do business with other gangs. Money has no race even if they're whole body is full of rasist tattoos. There is a ierharchy among demons, where the stronger demon tries to make the weaker demon's life as worse as he can, without any drop of mercy. This philosophy aplies to any gang or even corporation, where the weak has to do a hard job and gets paid with pretty much nothing , and the strong get to command and reiceive everything. And people say the Devil does not exist...

      @@Atitlan1222 untrue...millions of innocent people are incarcerated all over the world...usually intellectuals are the first people targeted for arrest or liquidation..being in county jail usually means that you are going through the court process ,your case has yet to be resolved and you cannot afford or have not been given bail. the police in New Orleans are highly corrupt so a good number of them might win their cases and another decent percentage of innocent people will get convicted along with the genuinely guilty...aside from that the whole foundation of these shows is about a man who knows very little about the world who travels around learning about all type of people and situations worldwide...he is genuinely naive on many topics despite some of the sarcastic questions he always asks
