That would be wholesome. Though if word goes out you're earning SW dev wages then you're making yourself a target for extorsion/racketeering from gangs and wardens meaning you'll probably have to pay half your wage so something bad doesn't happen to you.

How would word get out? Just dont tell anyone.

Also on a software devs salary you could bribe so many guards and inmates you would be king of that place.

>How would word get out? Just dont tell anyone.

Inmates see you coding all day? lol And they aren't that stupid, they know people working in the "computer business" make money.

people talk, and word will get out. you can only bribe your way out of so much.

if it's just going to a bank account somewhere though, whatever. keep your mouth shut, tell em you're getting $3.24/hr, and then go on a bender when you get out with all that saved up cash.

if you think software dev wages would impress inmates, wait till you know how much they make from selling drugs

In prison?
