how fcukin convenient it will be to all the prison women to have a beautician (although kinda scary looking one) amongst their ranks. whenever the ladies would want to impress whoever/whatever they want to impress they would just need to call their own beautician and voila... gorgeous prison women are born...

Can you imagine the image right now. The beanutician having done the rounds of beautifying all her fellow inmates, arranges a nice friendly poker game......

Casino's have great security. I doubt banks have such systems as casinos do. It is a bad choice to start, even thinking of going against them. And you will be lucky enough, if they follow the "legal" path to get you after all.
