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. |

Used to work for a company that maintained the phone systems for several Virginia correctional facilities, including a couple of max security. Gave me the super creeps, LOL!

Quoted: 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. View Quote 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.

Quoted: 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. I heard the local jail had great food depending on who was cooking View Quote My wife worked for the parole office and in some of the juvie detention centers. Typical parole office humor: "Hey, thanks for bringing in those cookies - they were awesome!" "Yeah, they were made by sex offenders." "Dammit!" |

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.

Spent the night in the Muscogee County jail as a young private E-1 back in 1992, but I beat that case.

One night in jail for driving without insurance 40 years ago.
Breakfast was delicious. |

State prison 8-16 hours a day 5 days a week. 95% of the time I am way overpaid and do very little. The other 5% of the time fucking sucks.
Kids need braces and pensions ect is what keeps me in the profession. |

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.

Quoted: 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. View Quote That alone would drive me insane. I can't stand loud people. |

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. |

Got brought in for questioning related to arson. It did a short bit as a CO. The place was like an angry bee hive.

Worked in prisons for 16 years before becoming probation/parole officer. Never got used to hearing the doors slam shut.

Spent 17 days on a 90 day sentence. Made trustee my second day, had to watch other prisoners who were on suicide watch all night. Food sucked, people sucked but I did learn my lesson. Haven't been back since except for work.

Jail for little over 24hrs for battery. Fucker deserved it.
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. |

They told me I had been "randomly selected" for a search. View Quote 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 |

A one-hour tour of the old disciplinary barracks at Ft. Leavenworth.

I was stuck in Dallas County Jail for years back when Jim Bowles was Sheriff. They said there were places in that jail where he could make you disappear if he wanted, and I believe it.

No, despite multiple drunken encounters with police in my youth while having friends who liked to drink, fight, and generally be belligerent assholes in public.

When I worked for the DOJ I got to go in THE worst jail in the country and tour it for uncle sam. Can't say where, but it was very silence of the lambs....

Buddy and I were mixed up in a bar fight. We were detained briefly until we showed our ID and then they cut us loose.

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. The worst part's, Lights never turn off, ever... People losing their shit at all Hrs of the day (screaming, yelling at the CO), about the 23 hr a day lockdown. |

Apparently, the Shelby county sheriffs department frowns on young Sailors passing their patrol units on the shoulder
The 1.6 BAC didn’t help I suppose |

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.

Once on a Mob Action charge. Once on a Battery charge. Once on a drinking charge.
I was a wild kid. Do not recommend. |

Once for stealing a goat. But Johnny Cash helped me get out of prison!

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. |
