My work has been incredibly busy. On top of having to go to work,
there has been a relatively large move made involving about 40 inmates.
Unfortunately, they usually end up taking the good ones. The bad ones skate by
and continue to act like fools. In this particular move, a lot of the
replacement inmates came from a higher custody unit and are “somebodies” within the inmate political
structures. Everyone seems to be pretty cool, for the most part. I only know one of them but they all seem to
know of me. That simple fact alone causes me to question just how well known I
am within the system.
I have spent whatever time I have available outside on the yard so
that I could observe the new arrivals behavior. Nothing bad or questionable has
gone on so far, so I am glad for that. I have had my face seen enough now
though, and have confirmed my “black support”. Thankfully, now I can go back to
my routine.
Every once in awhile, it is good to be “seen” by the people, both
old and new, so that they know that you support them and are there when need
be. One thing I know is how to play the game.
Politics are really no different in here, than they are out there.
