When you decide to do crime you might get caught doing, be sure to break a Federal Law. Federal prison isn't nearly as bad as any state prison system.

I understand the FedMax prisons are all bad, but so is the bad guys section of all state county and local jails or prisons. Heck, I always hated being sent to retention during recess in the third grade. The detentions I got sent to required me to write 500 times, "I will not spit on Jimmy ever again.", Or some such foolishness that was imposed unfairly on me, because I didn't do Nuttin to Jimmy.

However, all prisons are places you wouldn't like. There is a lot to be said for freedom, regardless on what anyone might think before they lose it.

I thought they were only a holding facility, not the end of the road prison.


Rikers operates like a typical county jail (although HUGE) so people are confined there for sentences up to 1 year as well as pre-trial detention and transfers. So it is not technically a prison but it is a nasty place to do even county time.

I employed a fellow who had been an Angola-ite.

He told me that exactly zero residents of that facility were not initiated into a certain club that I am not a member of.

Put otherwise: everyone who went to Angola got “broke”.

I used to be a volunteer prison chaplain. Alabama is one of the hardest States to do time in. Florida is not much better. Federal prisons, with the exception of supermax, tend to be a little better.

I was sad for him.

He had been “broke”.

California and Texas are probably the toughest because you have a very high chance of violence, it's racial but not racial and you have no choice.

The supermax in Colorado where they house 2 or 3 people in no human contact has to be the worst overall situation to be in.

In my reading ladies and gentleman, just don't be a bank robber.

saw a documentary about a Northeast prison and it didn't look so bad. All but a few of the inmates got along and one of them could get you some decent contraband. Meal times looked pretty social when everyone would gather around and talk about fellas from the past. And if you got the right work detail you could arrange it so your tier mates could get a beer or two after doing a few days of roof work. They had GED classes and one guy even kept a pet crow he named Jake. Looked a lot better than Angola or San Quentin.


Also heard some guards would make sure that if anyone messed with certain inmates that person would be eating through a straw the rest of their lives.

New York has some rough prisons.

Florida also is a very tough prison state.
