But there were twenty seven eight-by-ten color glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against you. And they still let you go?

2 day stay, cop was a dick and even though I blew a .03 he tried to push for a DUI and then my prints wouldn't come back so it took an extra day. Fucking sucked...

I say he was a dick because he told me he believes his breathalyzer malfunctioned and arrested me anyways, he pulled me over for 5 over. Jail had a .02 breathalyzer reading but since I was booked I had to stay until they verified no warrants.

Judge asked why the heck this was in his court room when he read the breathalyzer ticket in my documents and told me to go and apologized for wasting my time.

I was in jail yesterday and walked right out. I have the access card.
Actually I went in to change the toner.

Sometimes I'll eat food prepared from the jail kitchen. I'm brave like that. It's been a while though.

i grew up in a suburb of atlanta, cobb county. back in the day, the cobb county 'prison farm' had the best food in the county, no joke. they raised all their own cows and  pigs, had a large farm with all  kinds of vegetables. if you knew the right cobb county official or sheriff you could get invited to eat lunch. absolutely drop dead good country cooking. best in the county back in the day. no joke.

My dad said he could do prison again, but he'd NEVER do county again.  County you're locked in a pod all day, shitty food, nothing to do, no yard time.  In prison he had a job, classes, better food(kitchen staff), ample yard time.

When I was in a prison the warden whispered "don't eat the food" and made an Uh oh wink wink face. He watched the attorneys suing the prison chow down with a smirk.

Never in jail or prison.  I was once detained by Canadian Border Guard though.  They locked me in a small room while they searched my vehicle with dogs.  They told me I had been "randomly selected" for a search.

Small county jail for several hours when I was younger. The jailbirds were nice and all asked what I was booked for as soon I as I got put in. Disorderly conduct. They had a small radio and Akon’s new song at the time, Im Locked Up came on the radio and they were all happy and singing along. I couldn’t hold back the tears. The guys in jail offered Hostess snacks and asked me to bring them board games and magazines when I get bailed out. I never did, I kind of feel bad. Jailer lady was nice, she let my friend get my debit card out of my possession to pull money for bail. Like I said, tiny little county jail. 10/10 experience, wouldn’t do it again.

It's loud all of the freaking time, 3 am....loud, I think that is why I couldn't do a long stretch the constant yelling would have me wanting to hurt someone. It reminded me of the time I visited the zoo in the 3rd grade and we got to where the chimps was housed, it sounded similar to this.

i spent 1 night in a cell I like to think Dickie Betts was also in when he got arrested in Saratoga.

And spent a weekend in county once when i had a choice of a $250 fine or weekend in jail. $250 is a lot of money to an 18 year old.
Went in Friday afternoon and got out Sunday evening. Read the Dead Zone in between.

Lesson learned - never been back.

Jail fucking sucked.  Nothing but concrete and one ratty as blanket for comfort.  Weird thing was everyone there was ok for the most part.  Just too many of us in too small a room.

My dorm has 64 beds, but my pop is 54 at the moment. I spend my 12 hr shift among the inmates. I feed them lunch and dinner, both not what anyone would call great meals, but meeting the Texas Jail standar4ds. I have 2 flat screen TV's and access to the rec yard at least 10 hours a day 7 days a week provided the weather is good enough. We have dominos, card games, chess, checkers, and other board games. We practice Inmate Behavior Management. Shit we even got 9 tablets for the inmates that have controlled internet services for them.

Just got two in from the SHU so 56 pop now.

Actually had the same thing happen. I had a "Gun Control is Bullshit" sticker in the back of my truck window so I was randomly selected, tore my truck up (put it back together at least), some semi hot Canadian cop asked how many guns I owned and why. I kindly told her multiple guns and I had rights. Left it at that and 45min later i was on my way

Yup... My parents locked me up at 15yo. Did over a year... then I was shipped out to a "rehab". I got out, within a month had a child on the way (that put me into a 15 year steint). At least after that was over, I have my 2 kiddos

The Food was bad.

All the time. My wife works at the local PD.

About 10 years ago, my ex tried to pull some shit with child custody. I hired a lawyer and went to court. Her lawyer must have practiced business law or something because he was out of his element.

"MrJoemama, do you have regular interactions with law enforcement?"

"Yes sir, all the time."

My lawyer's eyes got huge.

"Would you care to explain?"

"Yes sir, my wife works at the police department and I bring her lunch all the time and hang out with the guys."



Seriously, I got a tour of the old jail. Fucking 1890's old. 2 inch wide steel bars with openings about 6 inches wide. No flush toilet or sink. It was more like a latrine type system where you had to shit in a trough. If you wanted something to drink, you had to yell until someone came down there to check on you and give you a cup of water. Nasty, felt like I was gonna get a staph infection just looking at it.

I also got fingerprinted at the county jail once for a pawnshop license 30 years ago. That was interesting. I was in the booking area with a deputy. At the other end of the room, people were handcuffed and they were taking inventory of personal belongings like jewelry, this fat girl was down there crying. Yep, so this is how it goes down for the other half of society. I got my prints, got a cheeseburger and went back to work.

Cuffed and taken to the Jail by a sheriff when I was 17, but I was not taken into the back or booked. My mom who worked for the department was called when one of the people who also worked for the department in the front office recognized me. They called her and she came down, she was super fucking pissed off and everyone knew too. I heard her before I saw her. Even the people who were arrested were laughing at me. I was in a lot of fucking trouble for that. I never hitchhiked in the roadway with a bottle of whisky again. I thought I was being responsible not getting into a car with people who were loaded.

Arrested for disorderly conduct.  Bar fight.

Booked in, but was allowed to go home on own recognizance.  Small county, small town - everyone knew who I was and where I lived.  No flight risk.  I knew the deputy booking me in, and my dad stopped by to call me a dumbass.  Said hi to one of my high school friends on the way out (he worked for the county auditor).

Eventually plead guilty.  Got a fine and 10 hours of community service.
