A “Date” in Prison Isn’t What You Think (And You Already Said Yes)

🔗 Save Yourself a Fight, Your Money, Your Job & a World of Trouble with The 40 Inside Rules I teach: https://ironjames.com “Inside don’t count.” Three words every new inmate hears his first week, and nobody explains what they really mean until it’s too late. I did 29 years behind bars, two in state and 27 in federal high-security, and these are the nine relationships nobody warns you about before the bus leaves. The look you get on your first walk across the yard. The silent agreement between two men in a cell built for one. Why a photo of your wife is currency, and why a “gift” of soup on your second day is never a gift. I’ll also tell you about the officer who got walked off the compound, the market nobody admits he was a customer in, and the arrangement I sat at the table for. Number one took five months to happen, three hundred men watched it, and I was one of them. If you know a man who’s walking in, send him this one before he gets there.
