- Prison Commissary Guide. Just a guide on what is typically sold in a prison commissary. Its a lot more extensive than people think.
- How to roleplay being tazed/pepper sprayed/being gassed.

Prison Slang and Phrases

Every dialect has words that're unique to their area that don't carry over to other ones. Prisoners got their own slang and it can vary depending on where they are locked up at. Knowing that slang is important to not stick out and come across as being new. Below's a list of slang words I've heard people say or collected off guides. If you want anything added/removed tell me.
