Hard time prison is Hell’s waiting room for the mortals.
They’ll spend the rest of their miserable lives knowing a shiv is coming and not knowing when or where it will come from.
I was watching a show about the Aryan Brotherhood the other day. They said they will and have paid off black prison gangs to leave one of their own exposed to attack.
So, even the repeat, habitual, violent black criminals running the gangs in prison, at a point recognize @$$#01e$ like these two for what they are and are willing to look the other way for a price? Makes perfect sense to me.
I see no reason why it couldn't work the other way too... with the warden and the guards looking the other way when they choose to. "Yeah, that sure was a shame about ol' Leroy..."
Anyway I hope these guys thought it through real good.
