Historically, there would always be people among the general population who had family members, friends, cousins who'd done time or who'd been in prison.

There's no experience like on-the-job training.

I wore a thong and a bra and a wig. Those things hurt. I mean, thongs? Like, they dig in. It takes a tough man to be a woman.
