The first time I went to jail I did county time, & did not have any real racism views other than what had been taught too me by my peer's. Which as I believe now was insedental. I didn't get it the first time I went in. In fact I went right to the hispanic area of my pod to bunk up, because that was the majority of my peer's. After the 3RD or 4TH time, I was taught to "Bunk up with my own kind.". The first time I went to prison, it was a must. I did not like it then, having to condition myself to this idea for the sake of my servival. So now, I don't do things to get myself in jail any more. My question is for you then, for those that have been & will go back is, do you do this for your servival or do you do it because you believe that being a racist is a way of life that is healthy for you, your family & loved ones, & your freinds & peer's? How do you believe yourself to be? Don't just pop off & answer but look inside yourself, dig deep. Do you like what you see? I know I, did not...

I think that recidivism occurs because for some prison society is simple, and makes sense. Do what you are supposed to do, and you get what you need. It's not as bad as the real world for some. There is no real resposibility in jail, like high debt or multiple children.
To stay out of jail, the person has to want, REALLY want, to accept responsiblity and live a decent life on the outside.

Unfortunately there is much of that in the world. I think many times it happens as a result of something happening that effects you and will probably stay that way unless you are fortunate enough to have a person of that particular culture or race in the future come to your defense in which case then you are faced with the fact, okay one did something terrible yet another did something wonderful and stuck their neck out for me,so then logically you then have to coincide to the fact there is good and bad in all people regardless of their race, religion, sex, etc, and each must be judged on their own individual personality and merits, or their lack of.

Humans are primates, and primates are tribal creatures, and therefore different tribes (races) of humans will never "just get along." Prison is where a lot of people have their illusions about race dispelled in unfortunate and gruesome ways. But if you keep your eyes open, you can figure out that racism is the truth and that racists are, and always have been, in the general right of things.

I read that ugly people are more likely to be in jail then good looking people.
I would end up there if i am really ugly I guess.

it took you four times of going to jail to realize, "Hey why am doing stupid $hit. It isn't worth it."?
