That blows my mind that people can get drugs in prison. 

Guards could probably get prison time for turning their heads the other way.

And how fun could prison be---high?  You're in prison for heaven's sake.  Oh and if you get caught, you're gonna get a longer sentance (I hope).

How does that happen?

In my experience of knowing people who have drug problems, not just people who occasionally dabble in drugs and alcohol like weekend warrior type of stuff but hard core daily users, they do not do drugs to get feel good or high, they do drugs so they don't feel so bad. 

People like that don't see the consequences because they just don't want to feel bad for as long as they can. Drugs help with them with that for a brief period of time.

You might be interested in this report on a Georgia sting:

Feb. 2016

The FBI arrested 46 current and former correction officers in a sting at nine facilities around Georgia, as a result of a two-year undercover operation went down early Thursday with raids by FBI at the prisons.

The indictments revealed "staggering corruption within Georgia Department of Corrections institutions," said John Horn, the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia.

Among those arrested were five members of an elite squad aimed at busting up drug dealing in prison, called the Cobra unit. Also rounded up in the bust were two civilians and one inmate.

The probe found that prison guards and staff were smuggling contraband such as liquor, tobacco and cell phones into the cell blocks for money. Inmates used the illegal cell phones to commit wire fraud, money laundering and identify theft.

OMGosh.  At first I wondered if the 'cobra' team were trying to get in with the drug dealers by giving them tobacco and cell phones. 

The liquor---geez, not good.  Nothing like a drunk prisoner. 

And to think the prisoners were doing money laundering and identity theft---from prison!

I just can't understand how someone who knows what prison life is like, would risk their own life of freedom to go to prison. 

The thought of prison is so scary to me.

I clicked on the link and put my zip-code in and it revealed the predators in a one mile radius from my home. There's one offender in his 80's living in a very very ritzy gated community. He was convicted of having s-x with someone who was incapacitated.

Ew.  Why would someone want to sleep with someone who didn't have a head?

---

Incapacitated means that someone can't move. Decapitated means that the head isn't attached to the body.

Exactly. Why anyone would think that was humorous is beyond me. 

Certainly the victim and his/her family wouldn't. 

It was probably the man's wife or even his patient who had a stroke or some other disability and was laying helpless in a nursing home.

Correct. As in Bill Cosby drugging his victim.

Or possibly another person who is incapable of consent by reason of being mentally disabled [or mentally incapacitated].
