In a feat of blog style incest, whereas Jackson stole one of my posts, I shall in turn steal from him.

While snooping through SNITCH, I found that they have a Rick Collett archive! Rick is a ex-motorcyle-gang member who spent 9 years in jail, and writes a weekly column for SNITCH detailing his experiences “inside”. Rick’s writing style is clean and crisp, always entertaining, and he makes some wonderfully interesting parallels between the “outside” and “inside” worlds. For whatever reason, I have strange affinity for information about the whole social structure of prison, and reading Rick’s column is like watching some Discovery channel special (not to demean his column, mind you). Ah well, you should either pick up a copy of SNITCH at a local retailer (look for the huge stacks of un-read LEO Magazine nearby), or go and read some of Rick’s stuff. Stick around for other great writers and their articles, too.
