have you ever been to prison? it is a tough life in there. no matter what you did or whether you were wrongly accused for something, prison is not for everyone. it is obviously lonely as you gets separated away from your family. it can get boring, not being able to do what you want.

but gambling, even tho is prohibited, is often what entertains most prisoners. there is no actual money in prison so they often exchange in other forms of currencies like food or smuggled items. even their way of gambling is smuggled. cards, dice and even information from the outside are all smuggled.

the reason why gambling is prohibited tho is because it might escalate into fights if someone for example loses and doesn't pay their debts

just shows how gambling will always exist anywhere

legally gambling is not allowed in prison, but for sure there are card games, etc, but if you are talking about betting on what people to in the outside that's not gonna happen there, maybe they will ask their love-ones to bet on their behalf outside to do gambling, and yes they might bet food or cigar, if there are basketball court in the prison they do bet for sure who is going to win.

It's someone who has a freedom that's entitled to gamble, someone who is in prison doesn't have a source of income and is facing charges from court of law, So it's not entitled to participate in the gambling, it's people misunderstanding of gambling that makes some them to feel that gambling is a source of income, gambling has never be a source of income, some who is in prison may commit more offence when the person loses from gambling

A prisoner is emotional, battered, and angry almost every day, and it doesn't need additional things that will trigger it's anger again, because losing in the gambling can trigger a someone who is not with the family and friends to do something stupid when it provoke, so a prisoner may lose and use the anger of losing in the gambling and commit a murder, for me prisoners should desist from gambling.
