Prison culture and the structure is identical to the design of a plantation. The intense environment is the same as well. “Buck Breaking” is a method that was used by slave owners to strike fear in the witnessing slaves. This same procedure is used today. It is the process of brutally beating an individual in front of a group of people to incite fear and a sense of dominance. There is a hidden part of buck breaking. During slavery, after the male was beaten, the slave master would rape him in front of a group of people — including the black mans wife and children. After the individual was raped, he was forced to wear his clothes below his waist as a signal to other slave owners that he was already broken. This same signal is a huge part of prison culture.
