I have a question, does anyone know if it means anything to have a rubber bands on your wrist. My husband sent me pictures with rubber bands on his wrist twice. Does anyone know this means?

I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT BEFORE. DOES HE HAVE LONG HAIR OR BRAIDS??? CAUSE IF SO MAYBE HE USED THEM TO TIE HIS HAIR UP.

No he dpesnt have long hair or braids, actually its really short. I was wondering if its like sometime of gang or some stuff like that. I think its a lil shady, twice in a row. Do you think I am overacting??

IM NOT SURE. DID YOU ASK HIM WHAT THEY WERE FOR???? ARE THEY JUST PLAIN REGULAR RUBERBANDS??? I DONT THINK IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH GANGS BUT I COULD BE WRONG. ILL ASK JEFF WHEN HE CALLS TOMORROW. HE WOULD KNOW. BUT TO EASE YOUR MIND IVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT. I THINK YOU SHOULD ASK HIM WHAT THEY ARE FOR.

Could you be mistaking there identification braclets for rubber bands? I know that at certain facilities they have them wear plastic wrist bands with there name and DOC number on them. I guess for identification purposes.

I will ask him but he has to wait a while to call me. It has to due to block collect calls I have to wait until the block is lifted. So I thought maybe you guys knew if it meant anything. So will you ask Jeff when he calls you. Thanks so much you can either post it her or PM me whatever is easier for you...thanks again!!!

They really look like rubberbands to me, i just thought it was a lil weird that it was twice in a row!!

jeffsprincess · #8 07-07-2004, 09:53 PM

YES I WILL DEFINETELY ASK HIM AND I THINK MAYBE YOU SHOULD WRITE HIM A LETTER AND ASK HIM. I REALLY DONT THINK YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT THOUGH AND I WILL DEFINETLEY LET YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAYS TOMORROW NIGHT!!!

ok this is easy.... I am form the Great New Orleans and the dudes wear rubber bands on their wrist to represent there past struggles. you know how when you pull a rubberband it goes right back in place? well they wear the to say they will bounce back. Understand? i dont know if that is what it means there but here that is what it stands for... hope i helped

WHAT TRINITEE SAYS MAKES TOTAL SENSE. I WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT.

I don't want to sound like I am making a joke or anything...but Trinitee729, I am pretty sure you are right. I don't know if any of you listen to rap music...but have you ever heard the TI song "Rubberband Man"? Well in it he says "Why the rubberbands? B/C they're representin the struggle, man" (or something close to that) I am pretty sure TI is from the South...and it works perfectly with what Trinitee729 said. Hugs
