Wings Are Serious Bidness

Andy Dufresne: I understand you’re a man who knows how to get things.

Red: I’m known to locate certain things from time to time.

Andy Dufresne: Can you get me a steady supply of chicken wings?

Red: Sure…wait, what?

They certainly are serious about chicken wings….

Texas prison officer could be thrown in the same jail he guarded after running illegal CHICKEN WING pipeline to inmates

A Texas prison guard faces being thrown in the same jail he guarded after running an illegal chicken wing pipeline to inmates for money.

Amos Nyanway, 25, has been charged with contraband in a correctional facility after allegedly giving inmates at the Travis County Jail chicken wings in exchange for money.

During a separate investigation, the Travis County Sheriff’s Office said on August 21 an officer with the Security Threat Intelligence Unit discovered an officer may have provided contraband to an inmate, TCSO said in a release.

The contraband was discovered to have been the chicken wings, according to TCSO.

I don’t know how much money he was pulling down by smuggling chicken wings into the jail but it can’t have been that much. It almost seems like a genetic predisposition to not thinking through the consequences of your actions before acting.

    Okay, ya smuggle in dem wings. But don’t they have an irresistible aroma, alerting everyone from other prison guards to every inmate on the block dat dey be wings in da Big House? And unless the recipients are crunching bones, there is the residue to be dealt with after dem bones is sucked dry. This little operation HAD to be well-known by just about everyone in the joint.

    So now Tyrone “Chicken Bone” Capone will have to relinquish his badge and join his homies on the inside. A bitter end to his fledgling Cell Dash food delivery hustle.

        We had a very dapper older negro gentlemen in our employ at Warlabs, Inc. back in the day who went by the nickname Tyrone Capone (and was quite proud of it). Pin-striped suits and fedora. And a Popeye’s chicken fetish. I hadn’t thought of that guy in ages before this story came out.

    If he gave his customers a reasonable deal, he’ll probably wind up getting along with his fellow inmates. If he was ripping them off, on the other hand…

    Arthur, I am not sure if we should all be grateful for or resentful towards the ever-amazing job that you chronicling the decline and collapse of FUSA.

    Smuggling chicken wings in to a prison to sell for cash to inmates when you work in the self-same prison is so retarded that it is hard to not question the veracity of the story.

    Nope. There is big money in Chicken Wings:

    At one time, McDonalds was looking into selling chicken wings. Turns out that they are so big, their demands would seriously distort the chicken wing market, making them unprofitable.

    Even places like WingStop and Bufffalo Wild Wings are forced to sell ‘mcnuggets’ (50 percent corn) as “boneless chicken wings.”

    Chicken Wings: a couple of ounces of poor quality meat, lotsa bones, and only two per chicken. What is the point?
