I've been in a Turkish prison. Does that count?

I bet that was fun?

That hash smuggling catches up to you in the long run

Lmao.

Never been in jail and never even been arrested so my butthole is still intact!

Yea possession of what? and 18 months where? Was it your first time being arrested?

A dime bag that he bought off the westies...

I hope this kid gets the hint and doesn't answer. He's probably been Googling his ass off since yesterday.

Don't do it, son. There are guys on this board who will tear your story to shreds. Just come back and start over again. No one will mention any of it to you. I'll see to that.

But if you dig your heels in with these fantasies I can't help you .

Was in County jail once for a day and a half. .. felt like a week and a half... .lol

I take it you have never had Mexican food then?

Ya have to understand there are different levels of prisons in the US that hold different types. You could go to 4 different facilities and have 4 completely different experiences.

Talking to an ex-prison guard here in AZ yesterday. IIRC she quit because she got stabbed (men's prison). She said depending on which prison it is, rape is an everyday thing. There is a thing called PREA that is supposed to crack down on it. Prison Rape Elimination Act.

There are also apparently prisons that are mainly for DUI out here in addition to the usual low, medium, high risk classifications. There are prisons in the US where rape would be daily, and others where it pretty much never happens.

Snake Pliskin don't take it in the ass. He gives it. And no way would Jack Burton take it in the ass!

"When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."

Ya, I don't believe this is the case. Very few guys go to prison and end up gay if they weren't already going in.

That Sir is Classic.

Perfectly written.

No prison, I was in county lock up overnight...that was enough for me. Fuck jail is all I have to say. Nothing is worth that shit.

Did the same not too long ago, and did another near full day a little while back. Have to say it does suck, mainly because it's boring as all hell, though the food wasn't as bad as I expected. All you end up doing is hear other dudes compare the various places they've been locked up. People are surprisingly open to talking about their guilt and crimes, not a shock why their are so many jailhouse snitches, but again, that's just po-dunk county lockup, I can't imagine the tedium of doing any kind of lengthy stay.

My Brother in law is doing 25 years for narcotics trafficking. My wife's whole side of her family has done time for narcotics. One was hacked up and found in an oil drum off the Bahamas.

I don't even want to mention myself. I'm pretty superstitious and don't want to put the "horns" on myself by even talking about it.

My B-in law is in state and it really sucks. No air conditioning in the cells, no internet. But they have moved him around quite a bit. Hes been as close as a half hour away to visit all the way to an 8 hour drive each way.

You would be amazed at how many guys have illegal cell phones in there.

Never been to prison. There are different types of prisons in the United States, depending on the crime you committed and how the law views you as a prisoner. The two big different ones are Federal and State prisons. From those that I know that have did time in prison, most say that Federal is a lot better than doing time in State, where a few others who have said state was better than federal, but it depends on where that prison is located and what state it is in. Worst is doing time in County jail. As one poster already said, they can hit you with other counts while you are in jail, and add those sentence to your time, so lets say you were convicted and senctence to four months, you served two already and the law investigated you on something else during this time, you go to court again, and you are convicted on this count, lets say the judge sentence you to a year. So now you have 14 months on your sentence remaining. They do this a lot to inmates that cause the jail problems or law enforcement.

If prison was like a holiday camp, there would be no deterrent for crimes.

In the United Kingdom & Ireland, sentences are very, very weak and in many cases do not fit the seriousness of the crimes.

Many repeat offenders can do virtually anything and know that the worst case scenario is somewhere between 2.5 and 7.5 years.

There needs to be more of a disincentive. Prisoners piss and whine about prisons now. Maybe they should pick up a book and read about how bleak prisons were before WW2.

In regards to the county jail, what I was saying is that in jail you do not have access to some of the things you would have in prison, which can make jail a living hell depending on how much time you get.

The deterrent is that many people have a values system and wronging others is not part of it. In America we have the highest rate of incarceration in the world, a government you cannot win against, and the death penalty in some states. And what does it get us? I dare guess our recidivism rates are the highest in the developed world...

The problem is that for most Americans upward mobility has either never existed or has ceased to exist. Thus, no more incentive to do it the way the government says. Not just talking about drug dealing and violence, but small businesses cheating on taxes just to survive is also a federal crime, for instance. I guarantee you businesses cheating on taxes to survive is more rampant in this country than you can imagine. Joe the hardware store owner is probably guilty of committing federal tax crimes. Same for Tom the farmer. And Jesse running his landscaping company.

So essentially the fabric of our communities is in many ways inherently criminal, whether people choose to view it that way or not. This country thrives on incentives and rewards. Incentives exist more now in the gray and black than in the white for a growing number of Americans. All the prisons and the harshest penalties in the world will not, cannot, change this.

As far as pre-WWII prisons, so what? Because they were bad 100 years ago makes it ok that they are bad now?

I was never in prison as a prisoner, but was in Attica with the military when the guards went on strike. One of the "Scab" guards who was working with us told us that when the prisoners went to Sunday church service a lot of them sat in the rear pew and fags would service them. Also I recently talked to a buddy who was a New York State prison Sgt and he said the stories of rape are greatly exaggerated. He again reiterated that their favorite inmates were mobsters who showed thee guards respect.

Very good post, alice

I have never been but I have heard stories from friends and supposedly the smell of feces, urine, sweat and desperation is unreal. There is no privacy. No space. You have to find a balance. You can't run your mouth off but you can't be too silent so as to show that you are not weak and do not attract suspicion.

Check your pm, Moe.

Spent a night in County once, hell I think all linemen have

That must be where that old Glen Campbell song came from.

I am a lineman for the county....

Hey, I'm bored .

I remember on Hurricane Floyd in North Carolina they put us in a hotel that shared a parking lot with a strip joint. Boy did they ever regret that move. They almost locked up the whole company that night
