I fear my charms and good humor may lead to being perforated by a sharpened lunch utensil. Translation: I like to make fun of people and I'll probably get stabbed. What to do?

I to live in fear of sharpened toothbrushes. It's not so much the shiv as the shiver. What if he does not kill me? Will there always be an uncomfortable silence between us in the lunch room? Can I make eye contact while lifting weights? Or will that make him want to kill me again? Ohhh the humanity. Did I mention that love you?

First off, it's called getting "shanked," not shived. Shived is from the fifites or something. Next, you gotta get yourself some homies. Join a prison gang, so that you got someone on your back. Since you're new, they'll probably want you to shank someone for them. Maybe a snitch, or someone from another gang. Just do it. It'll add some time to your sentence, but that's okay, since the emphasis of the justice system is punishment, not rehabilitation, you're in there to rot anyhow. What's another year or two on a life sentence.
You'll have to join a gang of your own ethnicity. Don't ask me why, this is just how it works out in jail. Also, you need to know this--you can't go to prison these days and just "do your time." Everyone needs protection. The motto in prison is "arm yourself or harm yourself." If you do tattoos, maybe someone will give you a break, but not likely.
Good Luck! Have a great time!

Here are a few suggestions:
1) Wear a cookie sheet under your shirt so they stab the cookie sheet.
2) Go in and beat the crap out of someone first thing to prove they shouldn't mess with you.
3) Don't go to prison in the first place!

Carlos used to stuff his prison shirt with newspapers. I don't know if it helped. You need someone to have your back, but are you willing to pay the price?
Or you can do what we all had to do. Keep your head down. Do your time. Shut the hell up. Don't piss anyone off. Choose your battles.

I was in goochland prison for two years, it's not as bad as your thinking it to be.Prison is what you make it. If you fear your charms and good humor may lead to gettin shanked then i would take a good look at myself and do what i could to change my negitivity.P.S Hope and fear cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Invite one to stay.

Keep yer trap shut, and your eyes wide open. If you can't figure this out on your own, you're going to get shanked. Again and again.
I'd hardly call making fun of people "charms and good humor" but everyone has their own definition, I suppose.

Don't get sent to prison. If you're in prison, I really don't care what happens to you.

Make friends with the "bad" folks who will protect you. You can also make a self defense shiv or just piss off the guards and get yourself put in solitary.

Ah, it's one thing to not drop the soap, but quite another to throw it in front of someone else.
