ok
that esfitness story about being in the tin barn prison, no blanket, lights on all the time
horsefucking shit
and there isnt a prison in north america where guards are doing checks every 2-3 hours. Fuck that. And that fight thing is absolute horseshit. I hadnt read this before.
Ya, skip the respect thing, dude makes up his own fairy tales
where exactly did you get 'guards doing checks every 2-3 hours"?
and where I was housed was called the Barracks. which is a large tin barn type thing... concrete walls, but tin roof, divided into 4 sections. b1, b2, b3 and b4.. b1 for the "c" classification.. normal people not likely to prey on others but will fight if provoked.. the a and b classification's were housed in other units, the guy's who'd spend about 3-4 months in the prison I was in before getting sent back to high or max security housing for fighting/assaults, ect.. C's can be housed anywhere with anybody. a's and b's can only be housed with other a's and b's, if that makes sense.... b2 was for sex offenders and other guys with "d" classification.. and rats.. ppl on PC... b3 was for E classification's, guys with medical issues.. old and waiting to die ect... B4 was Ad-Seg.. the 'hole'.... center of the units was "the pod" the guard room.
guards would make rounds every 30-45mins or so... we had count at I belive 7am, noon (before chow), 4 or 5pm (before chow) and I believe 9 pm or so.. those were standing counts.. there was informal counts at I believe midnight and again 3-4am.
the 'no blanket and lights on all the time" was the hold/ad-seg... where you're in a concrete room with a metal door with a little rectangle window.. the walls are painted baby blue and pink (psychological trick to make us passive), which in the winter is kept cold as fuck and summer hot as fuck.. the lights are on 24-7 and you don't get a blanket during summer, during winter you get a thick (but not warm) blanket that's 'tear proof' so ppl can't hang themselves. and you sleep on a metal 'bunk'... you're in there 23hours a day, but you have no idea what time it is or what time your 'rec' time is.. which is the one hour a day you get to walk around (in ankle and belly chains) and shower.. which in the summers the water is hot as fuck and the winter it's cold as fuck, and get a little washcloth to dry off.... if you sleep through your 'rec time', which is easy because you have no concept of time in there... you could go 3days easily without showering.
horseshit and fairly tales? I lived this shit for years.
and I don't know where you got 'federal prison' from.. it was state prison. you don't get fed time for armed robbery unless it's a bank.... and fed time is easy, for the most part. much better food and the guards aren't cocksuckers (as the fed prisons are under constant review).. only bad part is you have to do 85% of your time before parole/fed-probation, and you can't buy personal TV's.
