For Our Benefit

Mail coming into the jail, or leaving it, is scanned for the protection of the community, staff, and other inmates. Much information about continuing or past crimes is discovered by quickly running through a letter while looking for "Key" words. This next prize of literary magnificence was read in its entirety because of repeated key words. If no key words are spotted, the letter is left with as much privacy as possible.


This is a female inmate writing to her fiancé. At the end, I will translate it for you.

"All these suckas out there & something like a 'pimp' bitches over here ain't knowing near nada bout being 'real' let alone a pimp... But by riding 4 each other, hell yeah till the muthafuckin wheels fall off, well be 4-ever sucka-free... So even though I gotta pimp this pisa for the time being, It's for our benefit. This really real thugged out down ass chica loca is goina do whatever to get this life started for me & you & our KIDS!"

Everybody got that? It kinda sorta means this:

Everyone either in or out of jail doesn't know anything. Even the girls here in jail who think they do, really don't because they aren't familiar with playing the real game. But if you and I stick together to the very end, we won't have to tolerate easily fooled people. So, even though I have to continue to take advantage of another man through deception and give some up for his money, it is for our benefit. This genuinely crazy life-of-crime girl is going to do whatever it takes to for us to be together with the children we have already produced.

Folks, this is why you don't let your kids play on the wrong side of the tracks. Know who your kids are hanging out with...
