How is it that "Jon" was able to survive a level 4 yard and even maximum without joining or getting backing? How would backing work anyway (anybody please feel free to answer that)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578792.post-29646254845108971152008-01-16T09:20:00.000-08:002008-01-16T09:20:00.000-08:00To Liam,Some of the blogs are long, and take a lon...To Liam,<BR/><BR/>Some of the blogs are long, and take a long time to type up.

My son has commented on the weirdness of prison measures trying to prevent the making of weapons, like toothbrushes so small you may as well use your fingers and pens with no barrels so you can't write with them. His latest frustration is no pork or ham because of the size of the supposed Muslim population where he is incarcerated. Another example of the contorted measures taken to keep inmates from harming themselves or others, which will probably lead to that by default. <BR/><BR/>Keep up the good writing...somehow you manage to keep us all in suds.Sue O.

Thing is, it is very difficult to stay away from the gangs, or risk being subject to becoming a victim. However, it can be done. Especially on a level 1 or 2 yard where the pressure isn't that big of a deal, and everyone is on short time. I was one of the few in Corcoran, that was not a gang member, but I had the full support of the Southerners. His advice is right on point. STAY away from the drugs. They will front you the dope on credit, expecting cash or cantine items. If you don't pay up you WILL be hit. The other best advice. MIND YOUR BUSINESS. NEVER mingle in the affairs of others. It is all but garanteed problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
