Layzie, great thread, thanks.

How often did you see other prisoners start [censored] for no reason, ie, starting a fight or altercation "just to cause trouble?"

If you minded your own business and kept to yourself, would you be able to get through prison without having to take a stand for yourself? What kinds of tests or situations did you face? Obviously you don't want to make enemies or cause problems, but like you said earlier you can't let people walk on you.

Who were the "bad people" you ran across in prison? I realize "bad person" is vague. What I mean is people who you would not like to be in a room with. For example I'm sure there were some murderers you met who were much "nicer" people than other prisoners...
