Up front, I'll admit I'm gay. I'll try to be as round about this as I can.

I'm wondering about finding other gay guys also interested in some leisure time together. Some thoughts, please, feel free to add on your comments, observations, thoughts, etc.

Can we request to be cell mates together?

Is it possible to find a place and time for time together?

How friendly is the place?

How easy is it to find another guy?

How safe is it to be open about being gay?

You're joking right? It's fine to be gay, but don't talk about that in jail. You will get your ass kicked. You will end up in PC (protective custody).

I still think you're joking though.
