What was said
""Hollywood always hates it when I say it because we've got some pretty tough guys that went to prison and most of them paid extortion, right? You know, it's that simple.""
Danny Trejo tells Howard Stern that, in his view, prison operates on a “predator and prey” dynamic, and claims that even well-known “tough guys” from Hollywood who end up incarcerated often wind up paying others for protection.
