Avoiding Inmate Setups

This is an in-depth interview with an expert at manipulating jail and prison staff. The candidness of the inmate makes this presentation very educational. Some of his observations include the following:

• “If I can manipulate you into making my time easier, I’m gonna do it. That’s my job in here.”
• “You might get a little money, but you’ll get caught.”
• "Once he’s done with you, he’ll sell you out to another inmate or the authorities."
• “It can’t happen if you don’t allow it to...It’s always about that initial response.” The root of every setup is personal information. That’s power for the inmate.
