I have been in prison about eight months and do not recall a single instance of an inmate talking about getting out and following the laws. Most of the big talkers fantasize about getting transferred to a minimum security prison and saving up some money on a work program to make a play at something largely illegal to make up for lost time. Department of Corrections does not reduce risk seeking behavior. I am on the impression it makes it worse by increasing the desperation and further disenfranchising inmates from the benefits of regular society to be an inevitably greater burden later on.
We are told we will not get rec today so I asked about if they would be willing to rotate the phone to the cells. At 8:32am, I ask the two guards strolling down the hall chatting but am told they don't have anyone available. I then ask about the other guard accompanying the one who first replied to my question and am told that he is just walking with her. if you can lean, you can clean? They claim to not have enough staff but have two guards just strolling around chatting. They claim to not have enough staff but the truth is they have more than enough but intentionally refuse to provide inmates with services. I did hear another inmate tell someone on the phone to tell an inmate at the Green Bay prison to "push up on" another inmate who was let out of the hole too quickly and presumed to have "snitched" on someone for his early release. I think it was well implied he was directing violence to be perpetrated on an inmate for his cooperation with prison staff. Yes, other inmates can order a "hit" but I cannot tell my children I love them. Did anyone else watch the last 25 laps of the Daytona 500? It appeared to me that a string of Fords were working to recover their lead after a pit stop were wiped out by a driver on a team of Chevrolet. The Fords had dominated a lot of the race but one underhanded "pip maneuver" ruined who I felt really deserved the victory. And, the guy who caused the crash then won the race really solidifying my unappreciation for racing. Not all racing, but if a guy is going to get a trophy for destruction derby driving then it seems to betray the honor and prestige of the race.
