Thankfully I had a background in accounting and financial services. I was able to barter these skills with the guards and the warden for preferential treatment, beer, etc. One of my other hobbies, rock polishing, came in real handy as I had my buddy, Red, get me rock hammer (pressure and time...). After about 25 years, I was able to burrow my way out of prison with the wardens money I had helped him embezzle, escape to Mexico, and start rebuilding an old sailboat on the beach. Later, my friend Red came to Mexico and we went to TJ and bought 2 Rolexes to replace the one I left at the old house.

I agree that this would make a good movie. I think you should call it:

The Rolex Redemption

Some of the perks of getting older is patience, wisdom and gratitude.

I think it's because we've seen and experienced enough of the ugly stuff to appreciate kindness and beauty a little more.

It was you! I remember doing time with the guy that did accounting. I was one of the bruts that took part in your initiation--SWEET--remember?? That's where I met Bubba. Let's organize a Cell Block Buddy GTG!

Bad boy Bruno!

Go back an hit him again!!!!!

Nothing like the taste of blood in your mouth!

Seriously, I would not worry too much about it. This whole episode will be posted on CNN and the AP and will be over in 3 months.

15 minutes of fame is now yours!



Very seriously: Forget about it. It will all blow over in a couple of weeks!

Any fighter knows: He who gets down first wins!!!!

That only means one thing: Call the police! Ryan has had his pocket picked while dreaming about the man watching the lady watching the two guys fighting over the Daytona!
