a method of
payment for drugs in prison that involves no money changing hands in the prison system, the
buyer has someone outside of prison (on the street) pay the
seller's business partners outside of prison (on the street), thus payment goes street-to-street
“How do prisoners pay for drugs?” Gemma asked.
“The dealer may be paid in store items, you may have someone put money on his books, or
street-to-street.”
“What’s street-to-street?”
“
Street-to-street means your friends on the street pay his friends on the street, so the money doesn’t even have to enter the prison system. You should hear some of the stories prisoners make up to their family members and friends as to why they need to pay some stranger hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars. Which reminds me, another way prisoners get drugs in is they put up ads at writeaprisoner.com, get women writing to them, develop relationships, sometimes even marrying them, and then
sweet-talk them into keystering drugs in to
visitation. Books, legal mail, and food visits are also other ways.”
