Is it like in the movies, that you end becoming best friends with a few people and then escape and go live on a beach somewhere?
Some people (typically the younger inmates) find it to be a bit like summer camp with all their friends from the hood. It sounds racist I know, but that is what it looks like sometimes.
Many of these guys know each other from the street and just hang out all day in between court and rack down times. It just depends on the inmates personal situation and what kinds of skills they have, who they know.
Prison isn't fun, but for people who have nothing to lose, they will find a way to live it up. We had a guy who loved striping naked, jumping up on a table in the dayspace area of a module and covering himself and everything around him in baby oil (that we no longer sell to them for this reason) and tell us to "Come get me". He called it recreation.
