Friend of mine who once worked for the public defenders office regularly met with inmates to discuss court cases and lawsuits.
One day a client mentioned to him that he was disappointed to have recieved a sweater for X-mas. While my friend was wondering how he got a gift in prison, the inmate continued “Yeah. I was really hoping for a screamer or a moaner.”
@Jailer: Yep, same here. Also, boiling baby oil and water in the microwave makes a nice jail house napalm too. Had one take a face full awhile back, pretty disfigured after that.
Anyhow, in the limited work I have had with the BOP over the years, Ive learned a few key things.
1. Its college for criminals.
2. They have one commodity the rest of us dont have much of… time.
3. if it can be turned it no a weapon, it will, just a matter of time.

We’ve found rope made from braided toiled paper that was stronger than you would think possible.

Totally off topic, but I love the story.

Yup, baby oil and water is nasty. Had a guy pretty disfigured and lose an ear from it not long ago. He was lucky they saved his eye.

@Jailer, stay safe in there.

What bothers me the most about prison weapons is what they regard as a holster.
