Thread: How would you fair in a maximum security prison?

Lets say you get falsely arrested for a crime you didn't commit. Would you manage to thrive?/survive Think I'd prob get raped in the first week and die in the first month.

Be a shot caller in a few days

Supermax you're kept isolated so probably be okay, but lesser prisons where I'd be in general population I'm probably going to have a hard time.

From what I understand from a lot of research and talking to people who have been in, it really doesn't matter how big and bad you are, if you go in with sex crimes, especially if they are involving children or you are a rat/snitch you are in for a rough time. So if you got a 2 year sentence but your buddy got 20 years because you turned state's witness, your 2 years is going to feel like 200.

3) join an already established or create a newly established escape crew with the goal to dig holes and escape
4) probably join a card/game crew to make bets and earn money on the side, so I could purchase real food from the smuggling-in-real-food crew

I'd probably wouldn't live long either. Would probably die getting shot at while escaping.

1) your jujitsu jewelry isn’t going to win any fights but it might kill plenty of time in the process of crafting it.

2) you’re not going to just waltz in there and get the scrap metal job. If you did, you’d get extorted and be bringing shanks back to gang members.

3) you’ll get snitched on before your crew is two members. And asking around about an existing escape crew will make you look like an aspiring snitch.

4) you’ll get hustled if you gamble.

I was locked up for a month in jail

Sucks
Nothing to do
Most degenerates play cards or dominos all day

I stuck to myself read books stayed in my cell, barely slept at all

I've never been in max but I did do 18 months in general pop when I was 21

Honestly the things people worry about are not what gets you, I never knew of anyone to be raped in prison when I was there, and there wasn't that many fights, the ones that were were 2 guys beefing.

What people aren't prepared for is the cold, the long nights, the smell, the noises, the general dehumanisation of the whole thing.

If anyone does end up in there, sign up for church, as many classes as possible, don't act like a pussy but don't act like the big man either. There are plenty of ****ing a grade loser junkies in prison but most of the wing will see them as losers and as long as YOU aren't a loser you won't interact with those types.

I would never end there in first place, prison is basically worse fate than death.

I wouldnt thrive but Id survive and blend in. I mean fuark if I had to shiv people guess ya gotta do what you gotta do. Would try best to avoid doing that in maximum security.

Thriving would mean lots of drug smuggling and shiving IMO.
