Found this yesterday and thought is was worthy of posting. Does this qualify as a prison shiv?

My buddy is a CO at UPS McCreary in KY. He says "Sweet! Lockdown and cell searches because of that."

You don't find that kind of quality craftsmanship in shanks that much nowadays. Poor fella that lost it.

Bed spring reworked into a blade? And good craftsmanship... Must be from the Shawshank era.
