Felicia 'Snoop' Pearson Made Toys In Jail


Felicia Pearson, Snoop from HBO's "The Wire" used to make and sell adult toys while she was in jail. Of her jailhouse business venture she writes, "It ain't like setting up a Starbucks in the mall . . . I crafted them in four sizes. Made them as real-life as possible. I knew my workmanship had to be solid or I'd get complaints." She was paid with cans of soup, packs of cookies, candy and once, a joint.
