I once worked with a guy that had just left a job as a prison guard at Angola and Jetson Juvenile Prison before that. He said that by far Jetson was a much more dangerous place to be. Constant fights and stabbings. From what he said, those youngsters don't play while the older prisoners at Angola were pretty accepting of being there and docile for the most part.

Just like any pack, gotta establish a heirarchy. Once everybody knows who the alphas are, things settle down. Those guys are there for the long term and it's their home. They don't want constant bullshite any more than you want your neighbors to be always causing drama.

I taught a kid that had gone to Jetson. He had the 1,000 yard stare.

I thought he was gonna stab me everyday, but he actually liked me.
None of the other kids messed with him. He could have his head on his desk and sleep, or choke you and stab you with a pencil. It was your choice.

There's a difference in being an inmate and a convict. Inmates are young, dangerous, and start shite all the time. Convicts are usually the lifers or those serving long sentences who just want to do their time in peace. Interesting that it takes about 10 years at Angola to get one of the "plush" jobs if you have good behavior. Until them you're a field hand.
