Long time ago I was in for a ten year stretch in a state prison and yes guilty. My education commencing at age 19 just beginning. Just one lesson I'm thinking of were the ones known as "boomerangs". Meaning they went in for a slam, did their time, got out and with days/weeks or a few months right back in for another felony. And then that same state prison would see them again. The word taught to me was "outside time is just time waiting until more inside time". These illegal fucks CANNOT by their character stay out of handcuffs. They can't. So, no surprise t me at all nicked again we just have to see if they are removed from society or not as removal does not seem to be the method that DA's want to use to these po little dind'u nuffins.

Prison is actually nice, free meals. Many like going there but it's hard to get into prison these days, you can beat up cops even. You have to go to Arizona to get into a prison.

Dostoevsky wrote the semi autobiographical novel House of the Dead about his time in a Siberian prison camp. Tsarist Russia banned the book. Not because it made them look bad with the inhumane conditions in their prison system. Because it showed how nice and easy prison life was, and they were worried criminals would find out and want to go to prison more.

An interesting thoughtful reply and thanks. I did 6 out of 10 then out to a forest fire fighter camp for a year then work release for another year then out and gone. I skipped parole and left that state and did not return to it for more than 20 years I figured I'd be safe by then. My own experience of the slam was long periods of crushing boredom punctuated by moments of no forewarning brutal violence. No holds barred and I was not prepared for that. I had to go to prison to witness my first murder by stomping and that was a shocker to me. Not movie stuntmen. Quite real.
