Could someone please explain the use of backpacks? I don't get the purpose of them and not sure how to use it. I've tried looking it up but not much info on it that I could find.

The back pack is useful for adding/ collecting items when the yard is active. Its also used to hide items that you dont want stolen from you if someone raids you

ok thanks much appreciated. What do you mean by when the yard is active?

When you are able to actually walk around in the yard. I think you can in San Quentin if im not mistaken

ok thanks. Can you only have as many items in your backpack as you do slots. ex I have four slots... does that mean I can only have four items in it or can I have multiples in each slot?

Under each item are 3 buttons.

They are, respectively, use, sell, and add to backpack.

The backpack is also useful for reorganizing your inventory if you have lots of different types of items, but only a few of each, like with special and holiday items.

And yes, only one item per slot, no multiples. You can add spaces to your bag with the:

Block cake(adds 1 space when in cell)

4-leafed clovers(if you have 2 in your cell it adds a space)

Microwave oven(adds a space)

Mu cake+candles(mu cake is required to add candles to your cell; for every 4 candles in your cell you get a space)

The easiest of these to obtain is the block cake, then the clovers. The microwave is hella-expensive and so rare that I doubt you'll get a shot at one any time soon

The mu cake goes for $30-40 last I checked so it'll be a while before you can buy it, much less add candles which very rarely even come up anymore, save for in leaving sales.

That is all.

thanks Koryn that helps

Np, sorry it took so long to respond. I'm typing in the dark and I have to correct my spelling every 4 or 5 seconds.
