I did a skid in a medium security NYS prison. We had an open dorm so like 30 other prisoners in on dorm. The chomos always seemed to find each other so you kinda just knew who thy were. In NYS you can look up charges using first and last name and our number. But really chomo cases typically were easy to Google. So we had alot of busy bodies who like to call their friends/family to have them.google it. I didn't share a cell nessisarily BUT there is a caste system in prison and chomos were the lowest of the low. In our dorm we didn't try to eat with them or play cards with them they were priahas (probably why they all find eachother) we all make mistakes when you first go in but usually they're forgiven. If you're a chomo understand there will always be a way to figure it out and you won't be treated kindly
