Abstract

The author reflects on the term 'bid' which he heard on his first day in federal prison, after he and his best friends robbed the Rare Book Room of the Special Collections department at Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky. Topics discussed include ways of bidding which includes gambling, religion and gang life, main principles of the bidding he and his best friends created, and challenges to prison life.
