“Cell Survivor, A former inmate breaks down the myths
and realities of prison life”
by John Bowers.

Salt Lake City Weekly, April 28, 2005

There are two words every convict immediately learns
to remove from his vocabulary: “Punk” and “Bitch.”
However cute or funny they sound rolling off the lips
of a favorite comic or movie star, calling someone
your homosexual slave is an instant declaration of war
and invitation to a fight, your beating or your own
murder.  These two terms are not used in the same way
as they are in the free world.  It can be elementary
school name-calling on a deadly level.


(NOTE from J Smith: it wasn't clear in the SL Weekly
if this was an original piece for SL Weekly or picked
up from another source.)
