Would that be the "Locked Up Raw" series on MSNBC? I've watched that documentary series and usually the tattoo issues were guards finding contraband homemade inking supplies. The drug problem is how to keep the drugs out of the prison. The tattooing problem is how to keep the inmates from rigging existing benign stuff into inking paraphernalia.
I wonder if they trade FF miles as payment now that cigarettes are not allowed in most prisons.
