James felt one corner of his lips begin to tug its way upwards more and more with each moment that passed as he listened to the explanation that was coming from the stranger. It seemed that his attempt at digging details out of his fellow inmates was going to be far more easier than he had originally anticipated..he didn't do a thing so far and already he was getting useful tips.

Disregarding how amusing this entire meet was going so far, James quickly wiped that smile from his face and continued to speak, "I wouldn't tell that to any of them." He nodded his head towards the courtyard and the various other prisoners that were gathered up around the premises then turned the gaze of his one eye back to the one speaking with him and attempted to establish eye contact "It will display your weakness. Courage to stand up for the ones you love is an admirable trait..but if word gets out that you actually committed no crime, you will regret allowing yourself to retain such a strong moral standing." 

Then just to make the encounter a little more personal -- and to place himself into a more intimidating posture -- James leaned his torso forward just a little bit and propped each of his hulking arms atop his thighs, with his one eye not once averting away from the fellow inmate, "Remember..you're in prison. Morals don't mean a thing in here."
