Back in the mid 60’s I went to juvenile hall. I wasn’t in for more than a couple days before I figured out how to get cigarettes.
In the 60’s and 70’s heroin was so easy to get in NY State Prisons that it led to the ridiculous extreme of long term prisoners having to be detoxed from prison acquired heroin habits. Today on Rikers Island, The NYC penitentiary, heroin, coke and weed are rampant. Half is brought in by visitors who are steered to certain paid-off guards during their searches and the other half is brought in by correction officers and non-uniformed workers.
Um, I'm sure you did; but spare us the details. /kidding>
