You know the comic is funny because it's about prison violence and rape!

I thought it was just about prisoners with maximum insecurities? Maybe I need to get out the Urban Dictionary? And is the name Westfield significant? Around me it's a name for malls, malls have food courts...?

I think they probably choose Westfield for that reason, implying it's a for profit prison.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh. I'm an idiot. But still the fact that they worry about that

I'm gonna print this out and mail it to my cousin who's in prison.

You should include a recipe for a tossed salad. Maybe a nice Caesar.

The way I understand it, he got mixed up with some girl who turned him on to meth and then convinced him that her ex bf had been harassing her to the point where they needed to myrtle him and put him in the river.

Yeah it sucks. He was a cool dude- into electronics and RC stuff. Now he's so disconnected from everything that he might as well not even exist in this realm. Also the other dude was probably not that bad. I spoke to one of his family members years ago, but only once.

I get the salad one, but the knife out of pasta?

Thank you! Didn't know you could make a shiv from pasta 😂

Can't remember which old prison turned museum it was, but in their display of makeshift weapons they had a gun made out of toilet paper.

[–] TheLadyAugust@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

An extremely common weapon is just whatever paper you can get your hands on, rolled up really really tight and folded over. You use it like a knife, targeting the neck or soft spots. I don't think it's used with intent to kill usually.

Well, if you suck, you won't suck at tossing salad, or so I'm told

Is this in reference to pdiddy?

[–] CustardFist@feddit.nl 13 points 2 weeks ago

Nah, I don’t do current affairs. 🙂‍↔️

But nice to hear he’s gone to a better place. 😌
