Gruen effect

Also known as "Gruen Transfer", this effect is a psychological phenomenon in retail where a confusing, enticing environment (like a mall) makes shoppers lose their original purpose, becoming overwhelmed and more likely to make unplanned impulse purchases.
I went into the mall just for some socks, but the Gruen Effect hit me, and I walked out with a new outfit and a bunch of random gadgets!

A Riker’s Island green cup experience 

A Riker’s Island green cup experience — A short prison experience designed to make a weak co-conspirator flip on his bosses and “rat up” — meaning inform our co-conspirators higher in authority and more deeply imbedded in the organization under investigation.

Tennis great Boris Becker just finished two years in prison and he said: “ It’s a different lifestyle; it’s a different world…The only currency you have is your character and your personality — literally — and you better make friends with the strong boys because you need protection , you need a group of people to look out for you”

To which I say: YIKES!!!!!!!!

If you are weak A Riker’s Island green cup experience will not only make you flip; it will also make you a gold medal winning judicial gymnast!!!!!!!!
A Riker’s Island green cup experience may have caused Allen Weisselberg to flip on Donald Trump. Four months is a real jail in theory is short time. As an actual experience, and facing more charges it’s actually unthinkable. Flip hell!!! Allen Weisselberg probably not only flipped; but is now also probably a gold medal judicial gymnast!!!!!

Riker’s Island green cup 

Riker’s Island green cup — part of a basic personal kit an inmate receives upon entering Riker’s Island prison. This cup has a multipurpose function allowing an inmate to shave, brush his teeth, drink water, or make a hot beverage to drink — using prison ingenuity — while in his cell. Often when prisoners “graduate” — leave prison — they bring their green cup with them both as a memento and a reminder.

You don’t ever want to be put into a position where you have to use a Riker’s Island green up; or, to actually learn and experience how useful and versatile it is in the life of a prisoner.
Allen Weisselberg is drinking out of Riker’s Island green cup. Let him sip out of it for a bit; because If they sweat him a little and threaten him with more time; he may just flip on Donald Trump.

You know how they do new prisoners who don’t know how to jail; have no clout; and, no set to have their back. There is no such thing as soft time or short time on Riker’s Island.
