But still
Hi
One guy says that the guards in prison don't allow the visitors come and see with the prisoners. The prisoners have to earn their visits.
He says: From what I hear ain't been nobody earn a visit at this place in the last five years. I sure as hell ain't. Not like there's many folks lining up to come see me, but still.
I understand he says that he "probably" (maybe it's sarcastic) didn't earn a visit. And says that there are not many people coming to visit him, but still.
I think it means: but there are still some who come to visit me?

It means that while there's not many people lining up to see him , there's still a chance that someone actually might want to come see him and because of that earning a visit seems like a good idea.

Hi
Thanks for the answer.
By the way, do you think that by saying "I sure as **** ain't" he's serious that he didn't earn a visit, or maybe it's an irony. He behaved himself, but they didn't let him see anyone.
