    you can buy 24 soups max at a time, at .32 cents each

    instead
    buy 10 honey buns (the max) for $7.70, immediately sell all 10 (easily) for 3 soups each,
    giving you 30 soups for less than the price of 24. not to mention if you wait till the weekend you can sell them for 4 to 6 soups each when everyone's locker is running low. kept me fed!

    Interesting show. My brother is in prison, this gives me some insight on how much he needs. Sometimes I think he is working me for too much money. I tell him all the time that I feel $50 a month on his books should be enough to help him, plus I provide his phone time. Birthdays and Christmas I send a lot more, and I buy him a few food boxes per year, and clothes and shoes. Thanks for the vid. I'll subscribe.

    • @zoramax4610

      $50 a month isn't much, especially when you have to factor in cosmetics and food plus miscellaneous stuff like batteries and stamps. In the county I was in, I could spend the max $80 every week on canteen and still feel like I didn't have enough... but I also never ate chow and cooked twice a day lol

      Sarah Simmons when I was locked up my pay was $7 a week for working in the kitchen. Luckily I was able to do my taxes while locked up and put that in my commissary. I easily spent $100 a week at the commissary before working in the kitchen and it went down to about $60 a week after. Because once u get a job in the kitchen you can take real food items to sell and eat. My favorite item to use as currency was sugar packets.

    Really enjoy your videos Joe. I’m a retired CO from a county jail so our system was a little different than that of what goes on at the prisons, but because our jail was really large, it was really similar. I’ve been to several prison units, and many different jail systems and one thing is for sure, it’s a big racket. Funny you spoke of “Convict Cake,” I’ve actually tried it and watched it being made. It’s not bad. To all reading my message, for what it’s worth from me - this gentleman’s stories are spot on. Walk that straight and narrow and enjoy your freedom. To all, please stay safe, healthy and may God Bless Y’all.

    You should start a Patreon, It'll allow you to live completely live off of your fans that want to see your content thrive. I would personally sign up to donate to every video, you could even make a club for people who donate. Call it the Bail Out club. I love your content and i want to see you to continue to think of new ideas and have the money and time to do so. You're truly a one of a kind character that should continue to grow in popularity. I think with a Patreon it could do you a lot of good, in allowing you more comfortability in your youtube platform. You wouldn't have to worry about the view count on videos, because you would have your fans supporting you every month/video. With this freedom you could focus on making content you enjoy making and I think we'll enjoy it too. I hope you see this so we can help you :)

    There are these chips at the prison my dad is at called "Shabangs" and apparently they are the best salt and vinegar chips ever because prisoners in there have gotten COs to bring in items from outside into the prison (Tabacco, restaurant food, etc.) or to shakedown another prisoners cell by giving them a bag of shabangs. My dad personally has gotten bogus radios and other things by giving people shabangs.

I was actually excited to get my hands on some bags when store came my first week lol. Some inmates aren’t too big on them, but others including myself are. I absolutely loved them. They have very strong flavor and the best way I could describe them is a combo between barbecue and salt and vinegar chips. If you haven’t tried them still and you get an opportunity to get your hands on some, do it!! While locked up I actually learned that as of recently, you can actually order them on Amazon!!

    I am the type of person who really likes to gain as much information as possible on anything I can and the USA prison system has been something that has been a bit of a challenge getting decent well written primary source info on. You have definitely provided that information while having it being so entertaining. Awesome! Thanks man.

    I’m surprised you didn’t mention dried meats like beef jerky, hot sticks, cured bacon, or even somewhat higher end spices like cayenne pepper, cinnamon, curry, garlic powder, ect...considering those items were actually used as currency before currency even existed . I understand supplies are limited, as I’ve served county time and seen the selections , but there must be some variations of these commodities. Also they meet all the right requirements of value , ie high protein or flavor enhancement, versatility to “get in the car”, and easy transport. Anyways man, love the channel! you’re a great story teller and would make a great radio/podcast host as well. You produce quality, original, entertaining content which is becoming rare on CZcams . Keep up the good work

  • @zakutheferret8182
    @zakutheferret8182 Před 7 lety +3

    I made the best cup of coffee in jail... I perfected the recipe. You take two servings of the scrappy instant coffee, two cinnamon jolly ranchers and one packet of cocoa, dissolve that in the hottest water you can get, make sure and use as little water as you can, which depends on how hot the water is. A lot of places have microwaves, all we had was a toaster but you make do with what you have. Anyway, it helps to dissolve the jolly ranchers ahead of time since that takes a while, so when you're getting everything dissolved or mostly dissolved in as little hot water as you can, you need to be soaking a milk carton in hot water, or if you have actual taps on the sink instead of buttons, let hot wAter run over it. Then you put your coffee/cocoa/cinnamon jolly rancher concentrate, mix it with your hot milk, put that in a clean bottle and shake it as HARD as you can.
    It turns out actually REALLY good, the coffee is super bitter so the sugar from the cocoa and jolly ranchers helps, and the cinnamon is just plain good with coffee. If it's not hot enough you can microwave it, or in my case had to set it on top of the toaster and heat it that way.
    I was pretty "jail rich" at the time so I shared, but you can absolutely sell this stuff, Even today coffee with a cinnamon jolly rancher is good stuff.

Trays is the way to go. You must have only Ben locked up for the weekend, because everybody eats there tray typicaly, maybe not the first day or so, but youl get hungry
