Anybody ever been to Federal Prison?

cocaine i believe. he said keys.

i thought the same thing but i think coke comes from a plant also.

i don't think the usa crashes in 7 years.

post is right on. if youre really concerned with finding a bookie in the pen you're a fucking moron. that's what id say to a friends face, thats what i'll say here.

be easy, i respect your opinion and agree with you more often than not ... but <1% it remains intact for seven years??? c'mon man. that's too extreme for me.

i believe you would move to another country if you really believed that.

Steelers- A good friend of mine just got out of a federal prison. I visited him there a few times and he let me know how things worked in there. Sports betting is huge. Those guys will bet on anything. The one thing they don't bet with is tobacco. Smoking in federal prison is a huge no go so people don't even go there.

You can get the USA Today or any other paper delivered. You can also get gambling books as long as they're sent from a publisher. I used to send him the Gold Sheet every week during football season. He said you don't have to worry about getting paid because if anyone stiffs anyone else, no one in the entire place will do any kind of business with the guy. I think he had to do 85% of his sentence but I think you get six months taken off if you complete the drug program that is offered while you're in there.

Obviously with a young son he can't go on the lamb.

You did fuck up pretty badly and do deserve time behind bars, but try to make it as productive as possible. Come out with some marketable skills if possible and a degree if you can. Most importantly don't get sucked into an ongoing life on crime.

Try to make this one and done.

What a shock that you believe he should do time for distribution and a gun in a box in the back of a car.

He didn't commit a violent crime and this is his first time being arressted. Does he really need to do time? Especially time of this significant amount?

You and the righties over in the political forum bitch non stop about Obama blowing money yet were going to drop like 30K per year over the next 6-8 years keeping him locked up for this. And whoever he was dealing to will still be getting high. Nice job war on drugs.

  J-MAN 

Maybe you`ll get out early on good behavior.

Watched a show called Lockdown on Discovery about state prison life. They bet sports like crazy in there with books on the inside. Pretty amazing how they move the card around the cells with long leashes.

If it happens regularly in state then federal for sure.

Good luck, be oughta there in no time.

How is it personal bickering? You said he fucked up and deserved to do time. I disagree. He is a first time offender that committed a non violent crime.

All day you guys in the political forum bitch and moan about wasted government spending. Here is a perfect example of it that has been in place long before Obama, Bush, or Clinton ever took office.

Who is really benefitting from Steel doing any amount of time, let alone THIS MUCH?

The people that he is/was dealing to are still going to get high. It will just be someone else supplying them. Now we have a father who won't be able to raise his son thru the most impressionable years because we have a flawed, broken system. A system that you seem to not have a problem with as evidenced by your agreeing that he should do time.
