The story

Ron Decker, a twenty-one-year-old young man convicted for drug possession, is sent to prison where veteran con Earl Copen takes Decker under his wing and introduces him into his own gang.

Copen first helps out Decker when three Puerto Ricans attempt to lure him into a cell block to rape him.

Over the next few days, Copen helps Decker out by getting him better jobs, food, and even transferring him to his own cell block.
