Folsom prison has its own rules and has been under investigation for corruption. There was one situation where a young Black brother was sagging his pants. Now the procedural way to deal with such a minor offense is to issue a verbal warning and if that fails the progressive discipline begins. However, for this brotha that didn't happen, instead his cell was searched and all appliances were removed. That night they sat in darkness! I hooked up a citizens complaint for him and left the rest up to him. People are afraid of reprisals.
