[QUOTE="WSmith, post: 13028, member: 106"] I don't work for Califonia Dept of Corrections. I work for the Feds. And you are correct about dice not being dangerous, but used for gambling. That is the sole reason for the control. Many fights and assaults have started from a gambling debt. (long story but they make up their own currency out of tuna or mackeral, it is wacky) TECHNICALLY the spinner is contraband and could have been confiscated. However, this is one very awkward profession to an outsider. Certain rules and regs. are not ment to be enforced to the letter, or at least worth the time and aggrivation that would come from enforcing in relation to the other stuff going on in the prison culture. The proper response to those guys would be "don't cause any trouble and you keep your spinner." The reason why you pass on some small things like that is because somewhere in the housing unit, there is always a bag of dope, a homemade knife, and a some homeade alcohol. THOSE are the kind of contraband we are trying to find. Sure the could make dice out of origami. I have seen six-sided dice made from sugar cubes. They will always find a way around something. Heck I saw this one inmate start a fire with a wheelchair and a roll of toilet paper. :eek: [/QUOTE]
