Prison

An absolutely riveting account of prison. Its not for the feint of heart. Everything from the types of food, to drug use, to gay sex is covered. There is even a good dose of economics:
5. The Economy


I joked to my cell mate on the first day that at least the GFC couldn't fuck us inside. He'd been done for assaulting a cop when his house got taken by the bank. But within months 'GFC Nigger' became the standard reply to any query as to how black market prices were suddenly going through the roof. The price of a deck of smokes tripled. There was an actual economic reason about this. I went away in Michigan, where a lot of people lost their houses, mostly poor people already. When they had to move away from the prison, it meant they couldn't bring their loved ones as much contraband group, which meant the price of what there was sky rocketed. And the worse things got, the more the people who worked in the store would wonk and take home with them, which meant stocks ran low which fucked us even further.


Bet you didn't read about that one in the Wall Street Journal.
Plus a whole lot more. There are some interesting insights on porn as well.
