    I know a guy who used to host a heavy metal radio show during college in a town which had a medium security men's prison. He would often get phone calls to the show that would say something like "You have a collect call from: PLAY CANNIBAL CORPSE!... An inmate at Hill Correctional Center, to accept charges, press 1--"
    The inmates would call in song requests by saying their request instead of their name, so the radio station wouldn't need a prison phone call payment account to get the message.

      As long as the blade didn't break off inside your gut, you could pull it out and use cleaned bed sheet bandages to patch the stab wound, but clean sheet bandages are a very rare commodity. I suggest as a professional prison moonshine maker to keep your cigarettes in the deeper parts of your prison pocket, but that's just me, as I can easily make 10-15 packs a week, and I can get up to 30 if the ingredients the guards get me are high-quality and we get a fresh batch of new inmates, who are oblivious to the economy.

Trust me a pack of smokes will level off at exactly one stick of beef jerky. Now a pack of smokes has what a dozen in a pack. Ten to be safe. All ten of those smokes will equal one stick of jerky. If four equal a handjob. It sends to reason that a pack of smokes is two and a half hjs vs one stick of jerky. You do the math.
