@Originalgangsta317 how have you been doing since you got out? I can imagine it takes a lot of inner strength to avoid any problems to stay out of there. I know you got the coli and you're active about your workout regime. Has having a strong supportive unit helped you out? I'd imagine you stay away from the old friends that can get you in trouble or just don't interact with them as much anymore? You're still young right? I think you younger than me. I'd imagine it's tougher for younger prisoners especially with all the peer pressure out there and if you don't have a strong support system. Have you been working on something productive to keep yourself out of negativity?
@nawlinsnfinest , about how much of the inmates are there for minor drug offenses? Isn't that the main reason most get arrested? Especially for black males since weed is a popular drug. Would you say the more violent types are the killers and rapists or does it depend on the person? I hear rapists and child molesters don't survive at all or get killed quick.
I been good,and actually all you need is that experience and if you dont change it's something wrong,I never wanna go back and never will,prison should change ANYONE,but sadly it doesn't.
Yea working out,going to work and posting on here and hangin wit my chick keeps me out the way,and I'm fine with that,a strong support def helps,but mines wasn't that strong,I had a few people,but I never wanted for nothing in the joint or out here,so if someone doesn't have one of those,they will have a tough time surving in prison which makes them possibly turn to doing illegal things in there which gets you more time,and when released they wont have any support so its right back to crime,then right back to prison,once you get a number its hard to stay out the way,prison is designed for you to go back.
I still hang with my old homies,I just know how to distance myself from the nonsense,I think alot more before reacting now,it's all about making the best decision for you,you can hang around the devil and still be an angel,peer pressure and living up to a rep is what fukks most people up.
Yea I just turned 26,and yes as I said earlier above peer pressure is def 90% of the reason young guys get locked up,and my job,girl,the gym and thecoli keeps me out the way for now
