Rollin,

Best part of the I.S. doc. was when these FEARED street guys all said that EVERYBODY gets tested inside.No fairy tales of just mind your business and you can do your time with no problems. Dudes always say in these types of dvds that Rikers is WORSE than the actual prisons they go to later.


Nobody can tell a story quite like NY jail dudes.Too bad all these ex jail guys try to be rappers.Pete should have been a radio show host after coming home..he gives good interviews. He's a monster though.

About the system, though...you're absolutely right.

CANNOT MAKE THIS STUFF UP

JPAY is the company that handles funds to inmates now

Jersey, for once is trying to dismantle this prison industrial system though. Just enacted laws that all but eliminates bail.

The pbs doc. made the point about Riker's being mostly filled with guys who can't afford bail while waiting for trial.
