Underworld Games• With the infiltration of the

helping professions into the courts, probation departments and correctional facilities, and with the increasing sophistication of criminologist and law enforcement officers, those concerned should be aware of the more common games prevalent in the underworld, both in prison and out of it.

Cops and Robbers• Because many criminals

are cope haters, they seem to get as much satisfaction from outwitting the police as from their criminal gains often more.

• The childhood prototype of this game is hide and seek.

• The thesis of the game is “see if you can catch me”.

How Do You Get Out Of Here• Inmates who really want

to free will find out how to comply with the authorities so as to be released at the earliest possible moment.

• But at the critical point, they sabotage themselves so as not be released.

• This is played in prisons and state hospitals.

Lets Pull A Fast One On Joey• The first move is for Black to

tell White that dumb honest Joey is just waiting to be taken.

• If White were completely honest, he back off or warn Joey but he does nothing.

• Just as Joey is about to pay off, something goes wrong and White finds that his investment is gone.

• Then White, who was playing his own rules in his own honest way, finds that he has to play Joey’s rules ,and they hurt.
