It's hard in jail, always hard! But what about the guys they left behind — their lovers still on the outside? Will they still wait patiently for what they want, or succumb to the temptations of flesh and find a new partner to share that special kind of masculine sensuality with. Let's not take any changes — let's break out. It's not enough inside… it's time to make it boil over on the outside!
