    There is an answer... They say that's that way it is because it's true. No time to explain the complexities of prison politics in a 3 minute clip. first of all prison is 100% segregated, something that's not going to change overnight. all trades, all business that is mutually beneficial stays within your race. The whites wouldn't want you to trade food, give food for a haircut, make a drug deal with a black or mexican because there are plenty of whites who can offer the same thing and they want the economy to benefit themselves. Everyone eats, bunks, sleeps, hangs out, uses the bathroom with their same race. You can still hang out with individuals outside your race though, but your race is like your gang and it comes first. Let's say you are white and you and your black friend jump a white, both the whites and the blacks will want to kill you.

    Dude that's EXACTLY what I thought too. The five monkeys experiment explains all of this quite well. The system has been segregated for so long based on racial lines that go back to the times of segregation, that even now when society has become racially integrated, the prison system still works just like it did way back when. It's like they're stuck in time, it's crazy. Also gotta keep in mind that a lot of the Cali inmates in GP are aryan brotherhood. They may not come out and say it on camera but a lot of these prisoners are legitimate white supremecists.

    The not taking food or things from other races is coming from a racial standpoint...but also just so people can't say you owed them something in return...which would create potential violence. I'm not in a gang but prison politics do help you stay alive if you end up in there. And they help you from being taken advantage of. Prisons in some states where you don't stick together it becomes a free for all. I was in tx...the whites didn't stick together as well as California.

    A big part of the answer is that whatever they do they all do together. If the rules are that someone can't do that then they all pile on at the same time. If the guy with the neck tattoos didn't do that they would all beat him up too. If they all just decided that they weren't going to do that, that might actually change things. But the thing is the cohesion of the group is actually extremely important in these circumstances. It's a real us against them mentality, because of the level of abuse and violence in there

    Well yes and no. Sure it gives them a reason but these rules aren't made out of thin air. Since gsngs are so segregated in Cali, prison gangs are too... to protect YOU if you get there for some reason...imagine races ganging up like this but allowing interaction between eachother. You would constantly have riots because one idiot borrowed shit from another idiot from another race and then stabs him for it and both races have to jump in. Or two guys from diff races play fucjing scrabble and argue and fight and now everyone's fighting. If it's all segregated you still get people fighting but 99% between their own race so it never escalates because its resolved among eachother. I know it's stupid but its there for a reason. Same shit doesn't apply jn like Philly or NY or whatever because street gangs aren't as segregated so it's impossible to do such segregation in prison.

    Not a huge fan of prison documentaries but I like the ones that Louis has made so far. As for the people slating his questioning style, he's asking perfectly valid questions. What questions do you think he should ask then? Seeing as you are such experts in this field. He can't really go around reading the riot act to these prisoners because then it wouldn't be a particularly insightful or balanced documentary.

    It's very odd that the prisoners say that they would beat louis up if he was a prisoner and he gave a black guy food, but they have absolutely 0 reasoning behind their actions other than "It's just the rules." I really wonder why that is. Does anybody think in prison? Seems odd, you have all the time in the world to think and you don't question an extremely illogical set of rules? However, I'm guessing if they were to publicly question it they'd get beat up. But i'm just assuming. Prison life looks freaking terrifying.

    Same reason why a popular kid in school is ostracized by their clique if they associate with a kid who might not be so popular. The explanation 'it's just the rules" is vague and inadequate, but there really are no words to describe why people behave in the peculiar ways they do in enclosed environments like school, work, or even prison. The only difference is that prison has purely physical consequences for transgressions in the natural social order whereas in, say, a school or workplace, the consequences are purely social and are often times subtle and clandestinely cruel. But that's just the way it is.

    It's not if he gave a black guy food it's if he ate food given to him by another race. The reasoning behind that is prison can be a place filled with diseases. The races stick together and share things like drugs, rolled cigs, maybe even cups with each other. Each group/race can at least kind of regulate how sanitary it's members are but not between groups/races. That is why those "rules" were established and now they are iron clad rules that also represent you knowing the "program" and operating by the rules of the group. You come across as someone who thinks he is so intellectually superior with statements like "Does anybody think in prison? Seems odd, you have all the time in the world to think and you don't question an extremely illogical set of rules?"It always strikes me as funny when people speak on things they no nothing about.

    The no food sharing rule is related to where he is watching people taking food from trays. Its not about the food as either power dynamics are at play (taking food as a show of dominance) or trading which opens the door for debts which can lead to conflict. The reason they have a rule against that is to remove the opportunities for debt, thus conflict, within their organization. So although it appears silly to the outside world it holds a genuine purpose.
