Never been remotely near going to jail or prison.. but I do watch a lot of Lockdown on MSNBC.

Learned a couple of things:
- Seems like the rape things is way overplayed and over hyped in the media. From all the episodes I've seen, the guys never really talk about it being that much of an issue. But if you are gay you can easily find sex.
- But they do go on endlessly about gang affiliations/gang wars/ and associating with your own color (white/black/Hispanic). Even associating with the wrong color can get you quickly stabbed.
- Seems like as long as you mind your own business, show people respect and obey the informal laws on the inside, you'll be ok.
- A LOT of the inmates who committed horrible acts of violence and rape etc seem to do a lot of endless bitching and whining all the time over tiny shit, like getting their mail a day late etc.
