its funny they have the same sort of "payday loans" in prison.
on commisary day you get to buy things from the prison store , it only happens once a month or week depending on your prison. for those who don't have people brining them money all you get is your prison pay ( not enough to buy much with ). So guys will open their own store. Basically if you have a bunch of money you buy a bunch of stuff and you sell it throughout the month when people can't buy stuff anymore. But you dont pay with cash , you pay with "credit". So if i am broke and need some chocolate bars and some soda , i simply go to one of the guys store and get them , in return i owe him 2 chocolate bars for every 1 i buy from him on commisary day. So on store day you will see guys buying armloads of stuff , just to payback to the individual stores they "borrowed" from during the month. Most of them only have enough money to payback the loans they got so the very next day they have to go borrow more stuff, its a vicious circle of debt heh.
