How do weaker inmates survive in prison?
Prison does not have to be hard. Regardless of your physical or mental stature, there are a few rules that you must follow in order to expect to survive prison unscathed. Bear in mind that these rules have nothing to do with the rules of whatever facility you're incarcerated in. These rules are convict rules, and are standard for every prison yard in the US.Do not tell on anybody, for any reason.Do not fraternize with convicts of another race than your own. If you do, understand that you are putting your life or your health at risk.Mind your own business at all times, and use 100% of your common sense at all times.There will be seating arrangements divided by race in the chow hall. Learn this and remember it.Wash your hands before exiting the bathroom every time you use it. And maintain good hygiene in general. I have seen people beaten severely for not showering daily.Defer to, and show respect to the older convicts. You do not get to survive prison to old age by accident.There may be times when you are directly challenged by another convict. If this happens, you must be prepared to respond physically. Do not hesitate. Even if you are beaten, it is okay because you fought. (This is what is known as being “stand up.”) If you try to talk your way out of it or refuse to fight, your suffering will be legendary afterward.Do not gamble, borrow, or use drugs that you get “up front” with the promise that you'll pay later without knowing beyond doubt that you'll be able to pay.If you “PC up” (ask a guard to place you in protective custody) bear in mind that anywhere you go from that point forward, somebody will be there who remembers that you PC’d up. This will get you severely beaten or killed, eventually. Don't do it.Following those rules will ensure that you make it to the other end of your sentence intact. Combined with a good exercise routine, and a lot of reading, you'll be a better person when you are released than you were when you got there. Everyone is “weaker” than someone else, at some point. Don't worry about it, just follow those rules, and you'll be okay.Edit: These guidelines are indicative of prisons in the Western / Southwestern US in the late 1990s and early 2000s. I welcome all comments from convicts who were released more recently than 2006 who have information that runs contrary to what I’ve written above. My goal here is to be right, more so than to seem right.
British and american teens are SO different?
The murder rate in America is higher than the UK (we got guns) But the violent crime rate (including murder) is higher in the UK than the US. And Yes, the UK does have a "teen" problem that needs to be addressed. Though it wouldn't hurt to help reduce its gangs (foreign and domestic).
Teenagers throwing stones at my house!?
I live in the UK (the police is pretty crap) and at about 10 o'clock these teenagers come behind our fence and throw stones at our cars and windows. They have dented my car and shattered one window. The police comes but cannot do anything because they are underage for arrest, and when the police comes to tell them to clear off, they just swear at them and keep on doing it. Help me please thanks

Can I go to jail for vaping underage?
I got a ticket one time for having s pack of cigarettes when I was 17, no vaping is not cigarettes, but I’m my state the ticket and penalties for underage vaping are the exact same as they are for underage tobacco, each state is different, google would be a better source for the specific laws, and penalties in YOUR state. When I got the ticket, I had to pay 250$, I had to take a 5 hour tobacco awareness class that cost 50$, and they confiscated my pack of cigarettes which was like 3$ back in 1997, vapes do cost a good bit more though, or the reusable ones do anyway. So 22 years ago it was about 300$ and five hours of my Saturday, things have imcreased in cost, so it may be quite a bit more nowadays.If would have skipped paying the fine, or showing up in court if I wanted to fight the ticket, the ticket then turns into a warrant(even a speeding ticket is like this), and in my city they tack on another 300$ when it turns into a warrant. If you pay the ticket after it is a warrant they drop about 200$ off the amount since you turned yourself in, or payed the overall fine, but the ticket is still more than it would have been normally because the police have to spend man hours coming to get you, and it is more processin/paperwork, etc. So a 300$ ticket becomes 600$, and you can either pay the fine, or spend however long it takes you to sit out the amount of the ticket, most jails the judge will grant about 100$ per day, I believe this is money the state pays the jail to feed, and house inmates sometimes more sometimes less, but so a 600$ ticket is 6 days in city jail.Someone said the police have better thing to do, that is BS, if you have a warrant for 600$, they want that money, period, it does not matter if you got it for speeding, or underage vaping, if you are a violent felon with a warrant for murder, the regular police are not the ones who come to get you anyway, a fugitive squad does that, the regular police have plenty of time, and people to pick up notwits who don’t pay their tickets, and don’t show up for court, they will come get you, yes especially at your own house. Most cities do warrant round-ups once a month, or in Texas they do. It is not about the severity of the crime, it is about the money, and money is pretty important to a city.
Is it morally right for UK to let teenage IS bride Shamima Begum back into the country?
Let us flip the question on it's head for a minute.Let's imagine a young woman of say, Afghani descent, ended up in the UK, after having been radicalized and becoming sympathetic to extremist ideology of some variety.Would the UK not expect that her home country take responsibility for the actions of their citizen, were she caught by law enforcement?Why is the case any different with Shamima?Because Syria is a war torn state and doesn't have the diplomatic muscle to force the UK to take responsibility for it's citizen?Make no mistake about it, I think Shamima ought to be repatriated on the harshest terms.She should absolutely be considered a serious threat because of her ideology and the possible connections she might have to other extremists.Decisions come with consequences, even those taken at 15.If she was savvy enough to covertly pull off an act involving such logistical complexity, she's old enough to face the consequences.Prosecution, prison, deradicalization, monitoring, restrictions on travel and internet access, limited or no contact with her child….all of that and more, as per the provisions in British law.But, as far as taking her back is concerned, this is as much a matter of legality as it is a question of morality.Legally, it is impermissible to render an individual stateless.And morally, every country should deal with it's citizens' actions.I understand the emotion that a British citizen might feel in this regard.I appreciate that they may think "Shamima's personal decision is not our problem."But then the question becomes- Why is it Syria's problem to deal with an extremist British citizen?When you think of it that way, the answer is clearer.Her decision unfortunately, makes her someone's problem.It's only fair that the home country pick up the tab on this one.
If I'm a minor and pregnant, does the father go to jail?
You are in law a minor, further if your pregnancy is confirmed to be the father of your child, then you know that you must have had sexual intercourse with hm.There are two serious issues here, one of which your father will definitely go to jail: He has committed an act of Incest, which in almost countries is a criminal offence. That is mainly due to the genetic errors that take place in same blood family pregnancies and severely affects the infant from point of conception to birth.Mixed genetics are very important, since a defective gene cannot be off-set if the father “gave you” the defective gene either as a carrier ( Dominant) or actually developed as part of your formation in the womb. These can cause all sorts of deformities. Almost all of the Animal Kingdom do not accept incest. In the UK it is a detention sentence.The second issue here and is just as serious is the fact that not withstanding the fact an act of incest has occurred, you are also a minor in law, so he has now compounded the matter to two charges:IncestHaving intercourse with a minor.Both are Criminal Charges and it is likely he will receive a custodial sentence, the younger you were when these event took place the heavier the sentence, and the fact that he has impregnated you is another issue altogether as in 1 & 2 above.The situation is serious and has a long term affect on you both emotionally and the fact that you have to deal with in effect a single parent.Finally is you mother aware of this?It should be reported to the Police.
If you accidentally kill someone, do you still go to jail?
It depends on the circumstances but generally accidentally causing a death can absolutely result in jail or prison time. At a minimum, the offender could be looking at a charge of involuntary manslaughter which generally has a sentencing guideline of between two to six years in prison. There is also vehicular manslaughter. Accidents don't mean that you are not criminally responsible for the result. It just means that you didn't intend for the person to die. BUT if you are driving your vehicle while your buddy is "surfing" on the hood and you hit a pot hole which causes your buddy to fall off and bash his skull - the prosecutor will be able to make the argument that it was reasonably foreseeable that serious injury or death would occur and you should be held responsible for the death. Likewise, if you are cleaning a firearm and it goes off because you forgot to make sure the chamber was empty and you kill someone . . . you are responsible for the death. For example Manslaughter in the Second Degree is a felony in Washington State and only requires the offender to cause the death of another by acting with criminal negligence. First Degree requires "reckless" behavior.
