I just had a short stay in rikers, 60 days got out in october.Horrible,Disgusting,Hell on earth !! Words can't even describe the place !! I'm Sicilian American, White! Whites are pretty much fine there,Basically mind your business and don't involve yourself in BS Examples:Dont gamble,Get involved w drugs,Don't borrow, Don't accept any favors from anyone and basically if something goes down Stand up for yourself, Have respect, And dont get stuck in the wrong house ,Blood house !! Be courteous and like everyone else you'll be fine !! Overall though The place is non stop INSANITY 24/7 in it purest form !! Mob guys who are being held at rikers usually live like kings, The more known ones ! Especially if they are in the News .CO's supply and snuggle them everything under the sun and give them tons of privileges and access to whatever ! That actually goes for everyone as long as you have the money
