I’ve had a few friends go to prison for a variety of offences. All white guys in their twenties. Only 1 of them was hard. Every single one of them got bashed by gang members of the opposite colour at least once whilst they were navigating the difficult social dynamics that carry on. i think a beatdown is a likely occurrence, at least at the start. ---
