Gotta create breathing space one way or the other

They just mention the gun casually... that's what I want to read about. How the fark did that thing get in there?

In Honduras.

"Shank shank shank.... shank shank shank.... Shank your booty..."

as a u.s. american, why should i give a fark about what happens in honduras?

I doubt Honduras has civil rights. Plus they're not as sexy as African nations, so why not just start summarily executing all these worthless gangsters and just get it over with?

Say what you will about prison: six months in lockup made me a cross-the-t's, dot-the-i's kind of guy. I will never go back. I wait for the crosswalk light to turn green. I don't drink in public and I won't even be in the presence of any drug. Period. The first day of prison is basically the scariest thing you can imagine. My first night there, I laid awake listeing to my cellie snore and my neighbor get raped by his. Grunting, creaking and damn near silent sobs. Just think about that. I made it out intact but there's no way on earth I'm going back. One time there was a riot in my block and I got in one little fight and my mom got scared she said "you're movin' with your uncle and auntie in bel air." I whistled for a cab and when it came near the license plate said "fresh" and had dice in the mirror, if anything I could say this cab was rare but I though now forget it, yo home to bel air. I pulled up to a house about seven or eight and I yelled to the cabby "yo home, smell ya later," I looked at my kingdom, I was finally there to settle my throne as the prince of bel air.

Guess that takes care of that pesky overcrowding issue...

When you're in jail its not like you got a lot to occupy your time. making a shiv gives you something to do. And you can sell them.

/not that I would know or anything.
//and if you're selling shivs, you avoid the assraping.

"I understand you're a man who knows how to get things."

/Do do, dah dah dah daaah daaah . . .

If you can't get machettes, guns, and knives in prisons, schools, and airports, where can you get them?

Probably a guard.

I love people commenting who obviously haven't clicked the link...prob the same people that complain that mods don't do likewise...anyway, I've seen plenty of weapons in US prisons/and single shot zip gun type things...people be smart.

Honduras makes Mexico look like a law and order heaven.

They even use the expansion-port covers on the back of PCs for shanks.

/shank, shank, shank.

Perhaps the overcrowding is not the prison's biggest problem. It may be that inmates have access to guns, machetes, and knives

Soem people see a second problem other see a solution to the first.

Never saw Grindhouse, so looking at that picture gives me the following thoughts.


1. That man better never trip and fall.

2. I don't see a knife in there that he can remove w/o having to stitch up his coat again later.

And a knife fight with him would be easily won just by making him bend over early in the fight.

How interesting.
Let's list all possible sources of contraband:
1. visitors - easily cured: no more visits in person, with physical contact.
2. attorneys - do you search attorneys now? No? You're fired.
3. we are then left with the real problem: inmates buy all these fine items from the correction officers. Do you search them now? No? You're fired.

What was that problem again?

Were they made out of underwear?

Well, we Mericans imprison more of our people per capita than any other nation in the world - including those pussies in Honduras!

We're #1!

/torture a close second

Did ya ever stop to consider that we have a LOT less executions than some countries and that MOST of the people arrested in the US actually make it to the jail alive? Not that I am saying that is all it can be attributed to. Part of it is some dumb laws (yes that includes SOME of the drug laws), part of it is stupid criminals who are more likely to be caught. But at least some of it HAS to be due to the fact that some countries would rather kill you than pay to feed you in jail.

/ever wonder how pissed DJ Jazzy Jeff is?

I've flown through the San Pedro Sula airport twice. Nice enough place, if you're a big fan of declining infrastructure such as the centerpiece of the lobby being a giant water fountain surrounded by a circular staircase. The fountain was turned off, and dingy. They even have a Wendys in the lobby. I didn't want to be that guy who eats at an American Fast food joint while out of the country. So I didn't. But they had the exact same menu items and everything.

They also have a military hanger at the end of the runway featuring several cammo painted fighter jets UP ON BLOCKS.

It's a quality place.

Didn't go into San Pedro Sula itself, but from the air it looked like some kind of giant labor camp.

A lot of these guys came to the USA, joined gangs, committed crimes, got themselves deported. So they suffer back in their loser countries. They have only themselves to blame. Better than letting garbage like that stay in the USA.

I'm currently in El Salvador (three hour drive from Honduras), so I'm getting a kick out of these replies...

I was there back in the early 90s. Bused in from the coast. (That ride was a tale itself.)
Definitely not a place to walk arond at night. During the day the young urchins stalked you everywhere you went but since I had my eye out for them they never got the opportunity to do the run-snatch-gangrun of a wallet or bag.
