that was just a practice round for the ipad

People are ALWAYS getting high, whether it be meth, heroin, weed, whatever. Everyone is also VERY interested in having a cell phone. Tattoo guns are made without an issue by taking a cd player apart and using the motor.

To get stuff in, you either find that one correctional officer (c/o) who you can pay to bring it in for you or you get a drop and bring it back. I was never on a level 4 yard (maximum security) so it's prob wayyyy harder there. But for where I was, they have inmates who go outside of the walls of the prison and set something up before work with someone on the outside. That person then comes to the prison and leaves a bag full of whatever in a set spot. The inmate then figures out how and when to grab it without getting seen and brings it in. Some guys shove it up their ass, yes. But others will do things like hollow out the sole of their boot and just fill it to max capacity and make it back to the dorms just fine.

I was at a fire camp and at the camp there are no fences or walls surrounding you. If you wanna run, go for it. You probably get like 2 hours before they figure out you're gone and start the hunt. Because of the layout of the camp it's REALLY easy to run out to the road, pick up a duffle bag and run back. People would get drops ALL THE TIME. Drops would typically have tobacco, alcohol, phones, meth, weed and spice. They started doing a lot of drug testing and you get 30 extra days that you cannot get back if you pop up dirty for weed, 90 days for meth or heroin, and so people started replacing weed with spice. Spice doesn't pop up on a drug test. So what'll happen is people will get a drop then give the c/o's a medical excuse that will get them transferred back to the yard for a week or two and then they'll go sell whatever they can fit up their ass for exorbitant amounts of money. A cheap flip phone that you can get for $15 at walmart will go for like $600 there. A touch screen? Like $1100. You want weed? Ok no problem but you only get a chapstik cap full and it's gonna cost you $50. You want meth? Also no problem but it's gonna cost you $300 for a gram.

Well it's not on accident. They have us out there fighting these insane wildfires, working for like 12-20 hour shifts. They feed us all that because we WILL burn obscene amounts of calories. I think most of the fire meals contain about 5000 calories.

Don't get me started on the lunches they give out for a fire. Inside you will find roughly 4 lbs. of stuff. Bags of beef jerky, skittles, oreos, clif bars, uncrustables, cans of tuna, dried fruits, sandwiches on par with subway, etc.

Well I was going through a tough time and needed money for my rent. My roommate came home from work one night with some coke and an armful of high life 32s and we drank and did lines. Got late, he went to bed and I was still up and I figured out the solution to my problems. I went and robbed a house that I knew the garage code to...with people upstairs sleeping. I got caught some time later, did 5 months in county and got a strike and probation.

I got out and couldn't live there anymore so I got my stuff and left. I wound up staying with an acquaintance on the couch inside the garage he was renting. Some nights I could stay and others I couldn't. The night I got arrested I couldn't stay there because his landlord was coming by in the morning and he wasn't supposed to have anyone staying there. I wound up going down to the beach and met up with some people I knew, all of whom were not old enough to buy booze. I bought them a bottle of Popov ($5 plastic bottle vodka) and we started drinking. It was misty but not raining and we went back to Victoria's condo to get inside. She has a rec room on the bottom floor with a pool table and TV and couches and all that but it's her grandparents condo so we couldn't go inside but we went to the rec room and drank. Bottle is gone, I go get another and come back. She went to bed, kicked us out and by this point in time I was blacked out. I broke into a car in her parking lot and went to sleep inside. They charged me with vehicle burglary and hit me with 4 years because of the stuff I was on probation for.

In county jail, it's beyond miserable. Breakfast consists of: bland oatmeal or cream of wheat & circle egg patties that are obviously not natural. That's 3 days a week. The other days you get either pancakes, waffles or hard boiled eggs. Dinner is always terrible. If you're not getting money put on your books or hustling somehow you're gonna hate life. When I got to prison it got better though. We would get a HUGE cinnamon roll for breakfast alongside a bowl of oatmeal and fruit on Thursdays. Wednesdays it would be biscuits and gravy. Sunday it was what they called the "grand slam", two fried eggs with bacon, potatoes and toast.

When I got to fire camp, the food got MUCH better. The cooks are only cooking for about 100 people so they can pay more attention to what they're doing and put a bit more care into the food. We would be out on a fire, come back and get what they call a "fire meal". Fire meals are the greatest food in the entire prison system. I would get racks of ribs, tri tip and coconut shrimp, brisket sandwiches, spaghetti w/ meat sauce and garlic bread, sodas to drink, drumstick ice creams, etc.
