Chapter 27.5—A
I was jail-wise in picking my friends. There is a pecking order among prisoners. At the top are the con men, the smoothies. Just beneath them are the disbarred lawyers; their brains entitle them to respect. In the middle are the heist men. Thieves and burglars rank just below them. And at the bottom are crooked cops, and junkies.
I wanted to learn all the hustles, all the arts of knowing people and their kicks. One older guy I got to know, Sam, was one of the best con men in the business. He told me how he worked, And always he ended up saying, “But you see, kid, I made a lot of money—but here I am.” My closest amigo was a big black Puerto Rican everyone called Young Turk, a gentle man who was doing five to fifteen for cutting a guy up in a fight.
Who is at the top of the order in prison?
Who is at the bottom of the order in prison?
Who did Piri get to know?
Who became Piri’s closest friend?
Why was he in jail?
