this link (http://www.idoc.state.il.us/subsections/search/inms.asp) is interesting. I'm just searching random last names and browsing photos and fascinated by it.

Myturn,

Sounds like you got shafted by the system hardcore. You are the perfect example of why the drug laws in this country are retarded.

it is a fascinating site and I cannot believe it is up to tell the truth

no chance of me popping up, however, as I no longer showed up after finishing my parole

I can't decide how I feel about MT2R's punishment. It's obviously [censored] that he went to a max prison, that goes without saying. But a year... I don't know. Maybe 6-8 months would be better.

Would he have changed his lifestyle without prison time and just a couple years of probation? Probably. He says he would have. But at the same time, that feels like a "get out of jail free card" in my opinion. I mean... if you know you can do whatever drugs you want and at worse you will get probation... that's not really a deterrant.

BTW, this post is independent of MT2R's individual situation. I'm just thinking outloud about drug laws in general.

it seems like m2tr is still paying for his crime.

others, who arent as smart, would be completely screwed.

What happens to guys like me who are biracial? (black/white)

Is there anywhere for us to fit in a racially divided prison?

Great Report.

You sound like you were good at keeping to yourself and not escalating problems. That to me would be the hardest part of a sentence. I enjoy a good fight and the fear of getting more time versus takin a beatin is a tough call I think.

What happened to guys that were eager to fight and didnt take any shyt?

[/ QUOTE ]
they met guys who were bigger, got months added to their sentences, and spent alot of time in isolation. If I were ever to go back, I would get into a fight right away to go into isolation and away from the [censored].

If you want to fight, you better be affiliated with someone. White dudes end up with the arian nation.

Would they need to worry about gang buds retaliating if you put a beatin on their bud or?

[/ QUOTE ]
yep

Lets say you beat Mister Cali up good. What happens then?

[/ QUOTE ]
I get shanked within the next two days.

[/ QUOTE ]

what does shanked mean? raped? killed?

[MyTurn2Raise]

shanked means stabbed by some sharp object...likely a tool crafted from a razorblade and writing utensil


EDIT: Urban Dictionary:Shanked. I like definition 2 the most as cornbread was served an awful lot.
