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.
Can we all take a break for a second and think of this from a different perspective? Smuggled this, smuggled that... What does that tell you? That even the law enforcement officials that these prisoners are left in their custody are even more corrupt.
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
Gambling exist anywhere, even in the government houses... "bet you won't be declared by the senatorial districts" -- okay Bet a Rolls Royce cullina!! For the prisoners, they don't seem to see this as anything controversial, aside the sentences they already have so...
