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
I have never been to jail and I have no experience of jail life. But I know that jail life is very difficult because I have seen people in jail, leaving their wives, children, parents, brothers and sisters behind and having to stay in jail for their entire lives and some people have to stay in jail for a specific year. Those who have lived a very difficult life in jail have a lot of good experience about it. However, even though jail life is very difficult, people still have fun there so that people do not feel sad all the time, maybe they have arranged some entertainment like outside life, maybe this is why the gambling system is also operating there. Now it is not right to be disappointed with everything just because of being in jail, of course there should be some arrangements for playing football, playing cricket, playing volleyball, playing today's games and gambling for their entertainment, so that people in jail can get entertainment.
