It used be and still is a really bad choice if you're not Muhammed Ali. He would've been a God in prison. Famous black Muslim fighter showing the ultimate refusal to take a place in the "White Man's" world being sent to a place that is largely full of black Muslims. Hmmm... That would've been rough. I've known a lot of people to say that they don't take kindly to cowards and deserters in there though. A tattoo artist I used to know said it was a few steps down from being a cop or a rapist. And being a conscientious objector has to be based on strong provable moral and even religious grounds, doesn't it?
