James' one eye quickly darted to the stranger as he approached, skimming the figure all the way from head to toe in order to take in all of the details that he possibly could about the individual. This was his first time behind these bars and as far that he could tell, it seemed like no one here knew him..that was both a good and a bad thing. For his personal safety however, he was only going to focus on the downside of being a stranger in the area and wanted to make sure that the fellow inmate was not going to pose any sort of threat. 
"I am here for committing a crime." He answered in a gruff voice which was completely lacking of any emotion. Before he gave away any details about himself, James wanted to obtain as many details about the others that he possibly could. It was a simple survival tactic when you were living life as an inmate..and one that may possibly throw him into the role of a leader somewhere down the line. At least, that's how he hoped it would end up. If not -- he is spending the rest of his life here anyways. Death would only bring him peace.
