A Cigarette for 75 Cents, 2 for $1: The Brisk, Shady Sale of ‘Loosies’
Constantly being arrested and put in jail for a few days is a game with these guys, because they know they'll be right back out on the street hustling. They go into jail, and get their three hots and a cot, plus free medical care.
Seems like he should have taken less advantage of the 'three hots' and more advantage of the 'free medical care'.
