This one time, when I was in the joint at old Belmont C.I., I done seen this dumbass kid get the shit knocked out of him. What a fool. The kid was a bunk restriction with the green jumpsuit on first street with all the other moron bunkies. Well, they talked him into stealing this one dude's CD player and he did. He got caught and there were 15 black dudes just beating this dude senseless. Big fat white kid on the ground with 15 homies kicking him, slapping him, spitting on him, beating the stupid right outta his fuckin head. Eventually, I guess they must've got tired of wailing on the fat fuck and they stopped. The fucker stood up, actually stood up, a little shakily, with a stream of blood trailing out of his ear and just kind of wandered about until the C.O.s took him to I.H.S. He was taken off the compound to the hospital.
That should have been a lesson to thieves in there, but of course, it all depends on who you are, how big you are and what color your skin is regarding the consequences of stealing from somebody, and just who that somebody is.
Prison is a crazy place. It's like the basest of base of our society, and the way it is really is no different than it is at the top of the cultural food chain. It's just more obvious and blatant. It's not disguised as politics in the big capitol...
