My informed guess is you don't know enough abouf Xargos to make any accurate predictions.

thats my point, we as people bunch evry one in classes and dont look at every one as individuals.

The terms you keep using are not used in todays prisons. How long ago where you locked up?

20 years as a C/O equals five years behind bars.

I would be praying hard every night for sphinctoral integrity.

Wish I could post some of my Incident Reports, but they would get Skuzzified.

What's sad though is about 1/3rd of the inmates I've seen die is because of Diabetes. How can you save someone if their unwilling to help themselves?

Where you in a FED prison? because thats the only place I ever heard us called Screws.

Shanks scare me more then any gun ever will.

There ya go.
That statement is accurate
Having known more then my fair share of people who have done time.
I can say almost without exeption.
They all "found God" when they were locked up.

They just as quickly tended to loose him again once they were out on the street again

I would imagine that the reson so many find god in prison is to give them something to cling onto to help get them through.

Kinda like when you see in the movies somone gets in trouble and they start praying "Oh lord get me out of this and I will never do ---- again"

And some want to make it look good that they are rehabilitating themselves.

And I would imagine some minority actually feel they found god and stick with it

Most inmates simply call me by my last name, I rarely answer to anything else unless they are new. The Convicts however call me Slim, even after I gained 60 pounds...lol

If Paris Hilton can find Jesus in jail, anyone can.

It's amazing she can find her toothbrush.

There are many reason. Some simply don't take their meds, others drink too many sodas. Another reason is the variety of food in prison is limited because they have a tendency to make "Buck" out of it.

Buck is prison made wine.

I should have added liver failure as well. Many of the meds and the "Buck" can cause that.
