Guys would take the blade from the razor and melt it into a tooth brush where I was at. That little piece of nastiness could really mess a guy up.

I honestly think hustle has a lot to do with it, as well as skills most people take for granted like interview etiquette and manners. I found a job in 2 weeks in 2009, the height of the recession, after 101 months for a violent crime.

At the same time, the retail job I worked at needed a janitor that worked through a contractor. The contractor wouldn't hire me to clean a store I already worked at because of the record. However, the agent for the contractor hired a sub contractor, and the sub hired me.

The thing I don't get is all these jobs say background check, and this guy told me literally, "KBS doesn't hire violent felonies" but, discrimination bases on criminal record is illegal in my state.

Or the people on their 3rd 4th or 5th bit. Life on the installment plan.

This is why I hated going from max to medium. In the max prison it was lifers and guys doing decades who really kept the peace. In medium you had all these short time obnoxious kids doing a year or two. I felt safer in maximum than medium.

They had a "goon squad" in Minnesota who responded to "A-levels." Usually big dumb muscleheads who wanted an excuse to fight prisoners. The regular staff in general were supposed to wait for the squad. One prison had a k9 cell extraction unit.
