An inmate decided that he would start his own little gambling business. Part of his problem was that he didn’t possess the stature to enforce anything if there were a problem; and with gambling, there are always problems.

He was seen by a sergeant walking around with a blue folder. He would stop at tables where inmates were playing cards. They aren’t supposed to be gambling, but it is always going on. We can’t stop it unless we can prove it.

The sarge stopped him and told him to give him the folder. Inside were three sheets of paper with football gambling squares and initials on each square. On the sheets were written “50 cents.” Written on the four corners of one sheet was “Whites;” another had “Natives;’ and the other had “Mexicans” written on each corner.

The entrepreneur was escorted out of the unit. When his cell was shaken down, more gambling sheets were found. Also, twenty eight dollars and fifty cents worth of photo tickets were discovered along with photo copies of scantily clad girls from “myspace.com.”

Looks like this guy had a barter system going on in addition to his gambling business.
