Genarlow Wilson, a former star athlete that is currently serving a 10 year prison term for receiving oral sex from a 15-year-old while he was 17-years-old, knows a thing or two about being in jail. And with Mike Vick's inevitable jail time pending, Wilson was nice enough to offer some tips that might help the embattled quarterback.
Ginarlow's tips
-Buy several bars of soap on a rope, only
use that soap and if for some reason you ever drop the
soap, just forget it! Do not pick it up!
-You're going to be somebody's bitch, there is no way
around it. Just make sure you are somebody important's
bitch.
-Since you are a star athlete, someone will challenge you
at some point. It might be on the basketball court or in
the gym, but remember you must defend your reputation at
all costs! If one person beats you in a foot race, then the
Oakland Raiders will be scouting inmates all the time.
-There are no such things as conjugal visits.
-You will have no privacy, not even in the restroom. If
this bothers you, try holding it all day and going at night
when your cellmates will hopefully be asleep.
-If your crap your pants, you will not be issued a new
uniform.
-Get to know the sheriff, he will give you some of his
weed.
-Now is a good time to learn new things, like reading
-Keep your head up and your ass down!
