If you are 20 and have expensive shoes, expect to lose them. If you look at act like a gang banger expect to get shit from the real gang bangers. If you are 35 and look like a typical American male expect most gang members to pretend you don't even exist.

If you are in the State system expect to see more of the things you see in movies. Rape does NOT happen to everyone. Not all prisoners with 4+ years are rapists... Most of the guys that get raped were 'easy targets'... The type that doesn't tell and doesn't fight back. Who wants to spend 2 weeks in solitary?

If you are in the Federal system expect to see a lot more of the crazy shit... Here people are usually pretty fucked up in the head when they get in so sexual deviancy is pretty common. Still there is no system to fuck every guy that gets in there in the ass. Again if you look like the average Joe six pack you most likely won't be fucked with much.

To some extent having skills others like is a plus. As in, if you can show someone how to send and receive Email or help them get free data access on their pre-paid cell... etc...

If you are getting fucked with you can get into solitary to be alone if you need to..
