Describe the concepts of the inmate code

What will be an ideal response?


Answer:
• Do your own time (don't get involved in the business of other inmates).
• Be a stand-up guy (be someone that other inmates can count on).
• Don't rat on other inmates (do not tell staff what other inmates have done or are doing—don't be a "snitch").
• Don't trust the guards (don't become overly friendly with staff, don't show them respect, and talk to them only when you have to).
• Don't exploit other inmates (don't take advantage of others or their problems or steal from them).
• Maintain dignity and respect (don't show staff a weakness and show respect to other inmates).
• Settle conflicts between inmates (don't go to staff with problems between inmates, settle it yourself).
• Respect the real "cons" (the inmates who have done a lot of time, know the system, and live the inmate code deserve respect).
