| | I never joined a gang. I was only doing 25 months and did not want to do more.
Gangs in prison have their role. They are a sort of twisted equilibrium to eachother and the cops. Most prisoners seperate themselves by color and race, with the latinos also going sereno and norteno, and the blacks with their gang from the street.
Gangs can get you things. Drugs, protection and other stuff. They also make you do things for that help. You hold guns and drugs. You hurt people. You extort. You rape. Things that besides being repugnant, will also get you more time than some weed would. So, unless you are doing real time, stay away.
I was able to walk a very narrow line inside, because I was an educated white boy that knew the rules and didnt play games. I was there to do my own time and not anyone elses. I also didnt look or talk at the other races or even the total backwoods crackers as if I was any better then them. |

I don't think I'll have to worry about going to jail, but it would be nice to know what types of things I can do to keep myself independent and get the fuck out of there asap. |

| | I'm not sure if its the same for state/federal prison as for county jail, but, if you can be a trustee, get a job in the kitchen and stay well fed....preferably the ODR, officers dining room, they eat rather well, at least they did where I was at.

Stay true to yourself and always try to benifit from any situation that is thrown at you...
in other words be the overwatered half dead plant that rises from all bullshit the man can throw at you |

Don't talk to co's unless you are getting something from them.
and no, you don't walk with your head down and you do make eye contact, just not overextended skull fucking eye contact.I talked to alot of people and had alot of acquaintances. Not friends. if i didnt know them from the streets, and they couldn't do something for me on the outside, what are we suppossed to do, send eachother birthday cards and shit. these people are in prison for a reason. At least a felony reason. I was in places with killers and gangbangers, and armed robbers. |

It is a constitutionally gauranteed right and cannot be overlooked unless you give them consent and waive this right.
Cops cannot make deals so do not think they will or can help you. It is entirely up to the prosecutor and judge. | They have to charge you with a crime or release you with in 48 hrs. There is a good chance that they will have to release you in 48 hrs if they do not have enough evidence as long as you keep your mouth shut and not incriminate yourself. The more questions you answer the more evidence you give them to build a case against you. There have been many people that they know have committed a crime such as murder and because the suspect did not talk they had to release them due to lack of evidence and the case goes cold and remains open for years. Just watch the show the First 48 if you want insight into police interrogation techniques. Just remember that anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
