I think it's crazy though how they can be in there for a few years, get swole, and released back in the streets. I had a teacher who was a cop and had worked in some prisons as well as a few friends. He told me they'd see some prisoners teach other prisoners how to get out of handcuffs, take away an officer's gun, etc. He said they would "role-play" being pulled over and searched by an officer like they were playing pretend.

I'm from California and remember a bill trying to be passed where all the prisons and jails were to get all the weight lifting equipment removed since all the inmates did was lift weights for six hours a day (probably an exaggeration). All the guards pleaded with the courts not to do this in fear that all the prisoners would riot and would instead lash out on them. Since you're around these inmates all the time do you actually see them work out all day and get bigger as they serve their time? Also, do you believe they would retaliate like that?
