Mind your own business. NEVER mingle, comment, or involve yourself in anyone elses affairs. Doing so can result in capital punishment by inmates.<BR/><BR/>2. If you are being challenged to a fight, never back down, no matter how big your opponent is. Failing to stand up for yourself will show your weakness and you WILL BE PREYED UPON. A 30 second fight against a much bigger opponenet, you will be surprised what you are capable of when you are fighting for your life. Plus, if you fight in front of the guards your fight will not last longer than a minute (which I remember seems like an eternity). You will be seen as someone who is not weak and will stand up to defned themselves. <BR/><BR/>P.S. I cannot even begin to tell you of the white kids who came in acting like they were black and how they were extorted, beaten, and left with no front teeth. <BR/><BR/> Sticking to your race is absolutely critical. <BR/><BR/> Thank you Shaun.<BR/><BR/> -Jose in San DiegoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578792.post-63368733723192478642008-05-08T04:47:00.000-07:002008-05-08T04:47:00.000-07:00dirtos, if the gangs know you are claiming a certa...dirtos, if the gangs know you are claiming a certain religion to get one over on the guards by way of better food, then it's OK to do so,<BR/>any way of beating the system is respected by the inmatesJonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894626355758041112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578792.post-84138036447824105342008-05-08T04:29:00.000-07:002008-05-08T04:29:00.000-07:00does saying you're a Hindu put you in Danger with ...does saying you're a Hindu put you in Danger with the Aryan Brotherhood?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578792.post-64146482968555519552008-05-08T02:55:00.000-07:002008-05-08T02:55:00.000-07:00Thanks for this, Shaun.
