This is accurate to a certain degree. Most inmates that end up at the USP are not first time offenders, so they already have the criminal prowess on the outside. The inmates do learn a lot about offending on the inside of the walls though!

You won't like my answer, but i'll give it anyway. I believe any inmate convicted of a violent crime, or a sexual crime should immediately be executed. If it's drug related, they need to be in rehab, and if they cannot get themselves under control then they should be sent to a prison where they are locked down 23/7 and fed once a day. We spend too much money on people who do not want to better themselves. These inmates eat better breakfast/lunch/dinner than any child that attends the public school system in the USA and it's sickening.

There are a ton of gangs..the largest being:

aryan brotherhood (and there are multiple subsections of this gang, AB Texas, AB Syndicate, etc. and they all hate each other. It doesn't make sense for them to kill one another when they want the white race to be dominant.)

Black Gangster Deciples

Black Guerrilla Family

Surenos (hispanic gang from southern california)

Norteno ( same as above but from northern california)

and we have 5 Black Hands on our compound at the moment which are certified mexican mafia members. Every single Sureno will do whatever a black hand tells them. Surenos act as foot soldiers for the mexican mafia.

  • Yes, but not because of racism, but because of where they live and what their families subject them to at an early age.

  • I think it is a huge waste of money and believe there are much better ways to combat drug use. First be legalizing marijuana, and then allocating every cent from the war on drugs and putting it towards eradicating homelessness and starvation in our country.

There are very few asians in our prison. I would say less than 20. They don't fit in very well and are often taken advantage of.

Yes. There are staff that sleep with inmates (male and female), and bring in contraband (drugs, outside food, tobacco, and cell phones mostly).

  • No I have never befriended an inmate but there are inmates that never cause you trouble whom you're more likely to give the benefit of the doubt in certain situations.
