You ever go to the Government center? That place is nice...LOL...I used toilet paper as a pillow if I could find any. That was usually just intake though, the food when you get housed is a little better. Most people gain weight when they go to jail.
Yeah getting moved to trusty status is the only way to do time. Especially in the pen, you live outside of the fence and work on tractors and shit.
Some people go to prison voluntarily, almost, like the news story about how one guy attempted to rob a store, took their money and waited for cops to show up and say he did it. I think he said something like "I really don't mind going to prison because I would at least have a place to stay and food."
