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 think it all depends on what the prisoners have done. I think some prisoners who have done certain things should certainly be allowed rewards to promote good behavior and I think this could be a positive thing. I think if you let any prison inmate who wanted to do this that probably wouldn’t be a good idea as it could insight violence within them Start fights start gambling war, things of that nature, etc. that said not everyone deserves to suffer in jail and I would like to see it at some level at least here in the United States.
