good post.
i always thought "jailhouse rock" was a hyped-up super-secret bunch of nonsense. as far as i can tell, it's dirty boxing. i've never been in prison, but i have spoken with people who have been on the inside. fistfighting doesn't really happen. you're usually in a group based on your race, and you do what they want you to do. you don't get ko'ed in prison, you get shanked. if you go around beating people with "jailhouse rock" or whatever, you're going to be shanked sooner rather than later. that's why i think it's a myth. the inmates don't go around in fear of martial arts masters (if they are in there). one would be better off keeping a low profile. i calle em like i see em.
