[pianotech] accepting credit card for service calls

That can be a problem no matter what gender the general population is. 
 
Seriously, I've gotten acquainted with a group of men in the maximum unit
through the chapel work, really good men, same problems as you and me. I
don't get to go in very often, maybe 2-4 times a year. One Sunday in chapel
I noticed a man with shaved head and lots of white supremacy tattoos hugging
a black man. I asked someone what was up with that: the man was in the white
supremacy group (everyone in there is in some kind of group) and had
recently converted to Christianity. When you do that in the maximum unit,
that comes with death threats. 
 
Good people in there, and then there are lots of really scary people.

Dean,
 I actually have tuned in "Jail" . Some years ago I tuned an aging B in a
chapel @ the woman's reformatory in Framingham Ma. . It took longer to get
through security than to tune the thing. The Matron locked me in the Chapel
and when I asked why she told me one of the inmates might come in a make a
pass at me.   Yikes! Just another day in the life!
