In reality prison thieves are so widely despised that the man would have been stabbed himself. They get placed on the same level as sex offenders inside.
The issue is not being a thief, the issue is being a thief inside prison. It is in everyones interest for theft to be at a minimum, imagine you have to go to work and you are worried that your steroeo that you cannot afford to replace might get robbed.
@John Smith Normally if you aren't with a group, you ought to expect that as the norm as there's nobody to back you up. But if you are within a group, people won't give you shit since you aren't alone. That's why there are groups in prison, strength in number but there's usually no conflicts between them, if there are, they'll settle it within the rules that allows it.

"You wanna get back at these guys? Get out alive on Friday". I actually watch a RUclipsr who's done time, and from what she says, that's very true. You gotta realise that a lot of these people are in for LIFE - which means they have nothing to lose, because what's gonna happen to them? They're already never going home. How much worse can it get? So the best way to get back at them is by going home - because they can't do that.
Personal comment, related to a relationship problem of mine, if you gonna get revenge anyway, why not take it all? Why limit yourself for the things that are good for you, do the neutral ones as well, make then pay the most you can without colateral damage.

i watched this episode with a friend who went to jail and he said no matter what if you steal commisary and get caught your getting your ass kicked from your gang and others, no matter what you never steal or snitch.
I see. Old dude acknowledged that House’s plan was brilliant. He also notes that he could have done something similar on the last day instead, which would somewhat destroy the rest of the plot line but hey. Smart but stoopid.
In reality this is why people do not let others know how much time they have. If he wanted to snitch (which is not really worth it anyhow but neither is letting people run all over you as you never know what may happen) he could request pc
He was going to, but he was paying a gang leader in vicodin for protection. He heard about the short time and threatened house's friends on the outside if he didnt pay
The only none real thing about this is that 1)the guards don't intervene in fights that quickly, and 2), it might take weeks to get into medical unless you have a more emergency related issue.
