No, but people did it because no one really gave a fuck, as long as you weren’t out in the open with it. Same with weed or anything else. The first prison I went to after the receiving prison was a level 1, people would throw shit over the fence for inmates to pick up in the yard, CO’s would bring shit in for people. Some of the CO’s were even related to inmates that were in there. Mostly the blacks were the ones getting stuff brought in. I’ve got friends in the FED right now and some that have gone thru it. It’s completely different from what I’ve heard. Not as many shit heads, better food, etc. I feel sorry for people who work in state prisons. They have to put up with some really fucked up people and they get complacent and stop giving a fuck.

Nothing personal, but Fed inmates are usually a better grade of criminal. I was in a minimum, so mostly non-violent drug offenders and white collar guys.

Smoking was strictly verbotten...30 days in the SHU if ya got caught, and toothpick rollies were 5 bucks...blue toilet paper wrapper, soaked in someone else's spit to stick together.

I quit smoking for 7 months.

You’re absolutely right about that. State prisons get all kinds of fucked up people, people that should be in mental institutions. In state they send you to a receiving prison first before you get sent to the prison where you’ll do the rest of your time at. That was the worst because they send everyone there first no matter what level you are. So you could be a level 1 drug offender without a violent bone in your body and you’re in there with guys that like to rape and kill people for fun. The level 1 I went to was in the city I live in and half the people in there were from that area so it was easy for inmates to get stuff in. If you’re in the FED and you get shipped to a different state then you’re gonna have a hard time even getting people to come visit you.
