EA GAMES' MASTERPIECE 'MADDEN 2018 G.O.A.T. EDITION' IS A GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY. IT BRINGS GAMEDAY RIGHT TO THE PLAYER AND WHOEVER SAYS OTHERWISE CAN, YOU GUESSED IT...
SUCK THE SHIT STRAIGHT OUT OF MY OWN ASSHOLE.

BUY IT.
These sound like a pretty good deal. What's the smallest donation that will get you one of these stickers? Also, strictly hypothetical question here but, is there a higher tier of card you could donate-purchase that would get you out of the really good crimes?

I agreed to buy one for $25 over a decade ago and they sent me a self addressed stamped envelope and then I told them I changed my mind when they called to ask why I hadn't made the donation and was nervous that they'd put me in a database for cops to gently caress with.

In texas its $100 and its a different color stivker every year. Some people will layer them so its a stack and thats pretty much going to a higher tier of not getting hosed with i would guess but ive never done that. Im not 100% sure they even do it anymore i rarely see them now.

Seriously, this is the sort of poo poo they do in third-world countries, where people in positions of power are nigh expected to abuse those positions to benefit relatives and friends.

[A MESSAGE FROM THE CLERGY]

Dat's Pussy Trap, bitch!

Deal with it.
When I was in jail, we had access to "62 Form". Basically, you use this document to write outside of your pod, correctional officer, and corporal, to reach a sergeant or chaplain, or... anyone else(I was a trustee and saw a lot go to the lieutenant with poo poo like "lost my glassas durin shank down").

Anyway. We also had some donated games. Monopoly was one of them. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a 62 with a "get out of jail FREE" card on them. They had to make a new policy to address this joke. "No monopoly cards" was briefly in the new handbooks

Edit: I was in trouble for writing a 62, myself. But mine was a legitimate concern. You see, we don't have any access to anything beyond our pod(meaning you don't go outside. Ever. You never leave one giant room). We had a rec area but it was a small square with metal grating about 15 feet above us, instead of a window, with a cement ceiling. I love to work out but running was a bitch in a small room. I wrote a 62 and drew a diagram on how a giant hamster wheel would be best. I said the giant water bottle was optional. They didn't have a sense of humor that day and I got a one way pass to a single cell for 3 days. I think I still have a copy of the 62. I'll dig for it in a while

It has the shields for federal agencies listed on it too..good for getting off the hook for those RICO charges. $200 well spent imo!

Oh, and it also features a space shuttle and airplane mating in the background
