Inside our prisons there are a number of things that can take place, some of it is unpleasant, however, it is the reality of what prison life is about. If you think that once a person is incarcerated, that is the end of their criminal activities, you are mistaken. Crimes continue on inside our jails and prisons. Those that are locked up are a new and different breed of human being where the littlest things can get someone shanked or killed.
I will provide you with periodic updates and stories.
