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 haven't been in prison, and i pray never to be in prison because life in prison is tough and difficult. Gambling is not allowed in prison so that it won't make some stronger inmates forcefully take money from weak inmates to gamble, and if the weak inmates resist in the process, they might get killed. Despite gambling not allowed in prison, those inmates who loved gambling before they were sentenced to prison still find a way to gamble with their food and cigarettes in the prison just to entertain themselves and make themselves happy.
Well I’ve not been to the prison as well, but I know for a person to gable they will definitely need money to gamble with, and in the prisons isn’t like were cash flow on a regular basis and their is every tendency that Gambling is prohibited within inmates and prison facilities, but I’ve watched some movies were inmates are gambling like throwing dice, and playing some common poker sports in prison and gamble with them, which is very abnormal to me so I really don’t understand why the prison security allow such things to happen in prison, well I must say corruption is everywhere, and sometimes this inmates uses this tools to make themselves busy and happy because I think they find comfort in doing such things.
