Most inmates in lower-security prisons have canteen funds that they can access to use for things like cigarettes or snack food.
A friend is paid about 50 cents an hour for his work.
I think the most interesting thing I've heard about is D&D stuff. The prisons are very careful, because it's a great way to keep people controlled, but one bad roll means a murder.
when "murder hobos" get too real
Thanks for the laugh.
I would think dice would be bad news in a place where you have a lot of people that like to gamble and to do violence.
I'm not sure people with slightly-above-room-temperature IQ could do the math for probability of rolling a thirteen with a D20 and D8.
Right, they'd be playing: High roll for the canned peaches. Always something to fight about, though.
I'm told it's one of the more common things because the prison guards have a lot more control around it than regular dice and gambling.
