Quote 192 of 521

When I first arrived at the penitentiary, because it was my first time
in prison, I didn't know anybody and nobody knew me, so they all sat
back and observed me while a few guys came up and tested me, trying to
figure out what kind of guy I was: a snitch, a punk (a guy who lets
people walk over them and use them), or a bitch. Was I willing to
fight, was I loyal to my race? The most important thing about a
convict is his crime. The guys wanted to know right off if I had a
"solid beef," what's called an honest crime. Robbery, burglary,
assault, delivery, firearms possession are all "honest" crimes. Murder
is considered as honest as they come. Rape, child molestation,
indecent liberties, stalking, etc., are "funny." Guys with such sexual
charges are called rapos and are ostracized or sometimes even
brutalized.
