For a second I totally forgot about the other forms of gambling, like cards and physical games based on real things like who’s winning a race or even the next breakfast they will serve in that prison. I was thinking about how difficult to get access to phones and internet inside a prison, while forgetting that they can actually gamble on anything possible in exchange of food, favors or money in rare cases.

I believe that gambling in prison may have dangerous consequences, either when prisoners get caught by security, or worse, someone refuses to deliver the promised goods to exchange after losing and quickly escalating the situation into a fight or homicide. Overall, someone who never been in jail cannot really describe the situation very accurately but it’s not something anyone would enjoy in that situation.
