Part 4/9:
Through creative subterfuge involving a lunch delivery system with outside contacts, the narrator facilitated the smuggling of illicit substances, including cocaine and heroin, into the prison. This method capitalized on their position as a stock clerk, providing unique insights into how illicit goods navigated the prison system.
While drugs flowed freely in prison, the narrator noted that acid became their substance of choice since it wasn’t tested for, allowing them to partake in a surreal social life filled with laughter and camaraderie. This aspect highlights an ironic truth: many inmates, including our narrator, discovered moments of joy and social connection amidst the harsh realities of prison life.
