The crazy thing is if you get rolled up and sent to solitary, you loose all your comisary (except basic hygiene stuffs but are limited to one each) and you have to go buy it again when you can get money on your books again.
So guys would buy TVs and walkmans a few times a year.

People can put money on your books. Another way prisons profit... Selling shit, taking it back and reselling it.

It's job creation. Sony would be bankrupt by now if it wasn't for the US crime rate.
