A harmless prison bet spirals into a life-changing decision.

It started as a joke—‘I bet you can’t go a month without cursing,’ Rico told his cellmate, Tito. The wager? A week’s worth of commissary. But when the month passed, the stakes got higher. Tito doubled down, betting he could stay out of trouble for six months straight. If he lost, he’d owe Rico everything. The problem was, Tito didn’t realize how serious Rico was. When a fight broke out in the yard, Rico expected Tito to step in. He didn’t. So Rico made sure Tito paid another way—by snitching to the guards, getting Tito transferred to max security. One bet, one mistake, and Tito lost everything.

One small bet turned into a devastating loss. A prison story about choices, consequences, and betrayal.
