Well the prison store would sell small things like gum and candy, special persona grooming items other than soap and water and the like given at an unfair price. And the merit system is meant to be abused why do you think guards and well the head people get to add points and deduct them. If say prisoner x doesn't put out for a guard there goes a chance at a Merit Point. And the ways to lose them can be high since any act like not pleasing a guard would be a reason for that - disobeying an order of a superior.<br/><br/>But we can drop that.  ;D
