Fresh Out- Life After The Penitentiary: Being Challenged in Prison and Mostly Legal Prison Businesses

What's up everybody this is big her for prison talk and had a question from one of our viewers if someone in prison test you at all by making a smart comment or showing a sign of disrespect to you especially in front of others do you have to put them in their place and split their wig to put them in their place or let others know that you ain't no bitch or is it okay to ignore them and let them slide if someone tests you in prison you're going to have to put them in their place because um people are always watching what you're doing and they're seeing if they're seeing if somebody else has testing you all the time so somebody might have said hey go say something to that dude and see how he reacts and if you react like a little bitch and then it's just going to perpetuate and everybody else is going to start doing the same thing you know one of the biggest things in prison is if is respect and you never want to let anybody cross that line whether that means somebody coming up to you in a commissary line and just taking food out of your bag somebody coming up in your cell when you're not there somebody's still in your laundry somebody slap you on the back of the ass none of that stuff you can let go unaddressed you have to check a motherfucker right in or otherwise you know you'll be looked at as a punk so yeah anytime somebody says something to you whether it be about your person your family your character you're going to have to put them in their place you know you have to say hey man let me holler at you or you know let's go on let's go back here and let's go handle it because um you know once once it takes place one time believe me it's going to be somebody else doing it and then you can have another person challenging you and pretty soon you're just going to be you ain't gonna have no respect and everybody's going to take advantage of you so you got to stand your ground when your had another question from one of our viewers what a big Herc can you talk about
