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.

Yeah, I live in MA and got shipped to the hills of PA...that was a Godsend, real easy-going white COs who didn't fuck too much with us.

My co-defendant did 6 months in the joint Epstein was in, said it was horrifying. Black COs who tormented white inmates, freezing cold, bad food, rats and bugs.

All luck of the draw...I was lucky.
