Fight if you have to or else you'll get run over daily.
Not entirely true, at least in the several county jails I've "visited." Fights were pretty rare. Even where I expected it to be the worst, Wayne County (Detroit).. both Dickerson and the "Old jail." Not many actual fist-connecting fights to be had. There's way more "almost-fights" than actual fights. People in county jail usually don't want to extend their stay.
Kept to myself, have had very little trouble. Closest fight I've had was with a nigger regarding what TV channel we were going to watch that day. Though I was going to get my ass whupped by him and his boys, but HE backed down! And I'm not intimidating in the slightest...! Then had white people congratulating me for the next week for "standing up to that guy." (I know I know.. everyone clapped yadda yadda)
I'm sure your statement would be true in a prison setting, though.
