Current Events > A CEman is going to a minimum security prison for 6 months

(+) Yeah! (+)

What can he expect?

Death by snu snu
---

Dawkins is in jail?
---

probably depression, isolation, and withdrawels from lack of internet/CE to keep him entertained.

Probably a lot of book reading and staying out of people's way.

Also might come back with a tatoo of some other guy's name on his left buttcheek.
---

Which of the two are we talking about?
---

Can TC give us more info on what this person did to get 6 months locked up? Also: he'll probably be out for good time served sooner than 6 months.

Not the last one, huge difference between non violent min. security joints and the places you always see on tv shows and docs.

If he's not a huge pussy, it won't be that bad.

As long as the other guy warns him to "put up his dukes", right?

I've never been to prison, but if I recall correctly, minimum security prisons are places where people that are nearly done with their sentence, or are serving a light sentence, are just trying to finish their time and leave. Any fighting, contraband, or things of that nature will simply add onto your time and possibly move you up to a medium security prison.

Minimum means you can leave your cells, walk around a communal room. Shower when you want to, watch basic cable in a tv room and what not. Like a college dorm for light criminals.

I'm sure he will be fine.

I feel like this topic is theoretical in nature.

Minimum security prisons are literally vacations

Vacations where you lose your house and job because you are not around anymore to pay for or go to them.

Vacations where gaurds tell you "Lights OUT!" or "CHOW-TIME!" and you get a tray of dog food.

Yeah, vacations. I could see that.

You're mixing up minimum and maximum security prisons
---

A 6 month karma loss.

LOL

Way back in my youth I spent a couple of times in jail for minor stuff and I know all about this.

Radios and TV off by 10:00 PM, so not to disturb the ones needing sleep for the morning road crews or court.

All the lights went down except for the walkway lights.

The food wasn't really all that bad, was just like the stuff they give the kids in school, for me anyway.

Be honest, was there a lot of raping going on in jail? >_>

Hard to rape someone in a room with 30 other guys. Most of which are homophobes.

Only sexual preditors rape and they go inside a rape tank with their own kind, for their own protection.

Back in 69 my dad got a 18 month sentence for stealing a car and providing transport for a gambling house.

First 12 months he spent in a prison, then his last 6 months was spent at a prison mill-work plant.

After you did your work hours you could do pretty much anything as long as you didn't try to leave the perimeter and climb the fence.

Fortunately my dad didn't attend on adding 2 years to his remaining 6 months.

Anyway sometimes I'm suspicious that he got himself locked up intentionally to avoid the draft.

Despite the fact that he wouldn't have been worthy anyway due to foot issues that he had since birth.

Eh, some people are like that. I always said if I was homeless for any reason, I'd just walk up to a store window and break it in order to get out of the situation and have a roof over my head and food in my belly.

When it actually happened, I just went to a Men's shelter while my wife went to a woman's shelter and about 6 weeks later we moved into a hotel room for $500 a month. Once you go to jail, your life on the outside is over until you come back....and when you come back you won't be the same.

So your life on the outside is over, no matter what.

I've done 20 days in jail over 3 different visits for pot related charges before the legalization happened. Every time I went in and came out, I never thought the same way again. Truelly is a shitty place to be.

I almost got my ass beat on the first day in general population because I refused to get my food. When I got it, I threw it straight in the trash. People were running to the garbage and eating it. Fucking shit, peole had spit in that trash, in fact, I spit on the food just to ensure it would be garbage.

People still ate it. Afterwards, some guy slapped me on the back of the head while i was laying in a bunk. Told me if I ever pulled a stunt like that again, I"d be pulled out of my bed and rolled up out of the room. After that, the week was all gravey.

I never threw my food away again tho.

The irony is only the Fam is mentally strong enough to survive prison but were so morally strong wed never commit crimes.

Don't know.

These were all regular guys serving for nonsense stuff.

DUI, child support, public disturbances, stealing or buying stolen goods, bag of weed.

The guy I celled with was like in his 60s and got locked up for fighting with his narky wife and trying to fight with the police when they came.

Anyway I figure they had a separate area for trouble makers, killers, terrorists and rapist to be locked up in... all alone... assuming there was any there at all.
---

It'll suck.
But just because you're gonna get tired of the food and be bored in general.
Minimum security is absolutely like nothing you see on TV in regards to jails/prisons.

There might be some jail politics involved, meaning you can only associate with those of the same color. But other than that, you can drop the soap without worry.

Reminds me that Jail is where I leaned to play a game called Dirty Hearts.

Once the TV and Radio had to go down people just played cards, read letters and looked at magazines or the newspaper.

Sometimes you might see a person just sitting alone in thought.

The phone was a little tricky.

You had to ask a guard to get you the transmitter and receiver and he'd dial the number you had on the books.

You still had a time limit to speak to whoever.

People serving long time had snacks they kept in Rubbermaids and zip locks.

They always mix random stuff up and make like a trail mix for a snack.

Constant coffee and smoking was allowed back then too... this was like in 1990.

For coffee you had to provide for the stash, unless you were a newb and didn't know or serving a very short time.

Stuff like razors and toothbrushes was kept by the Jail in your personal box.

You had to ask a jailer for the stuff and you had to give it back after a certain amount of time or there would be a cell and prisoner check down.

Nobody violated that rule because you wouldn't make many friends if everyone was checked down or had their cell rummaged through.

I learned all this just simply after 2 days in Jail.

Gee I wonder how you ended up in there.

I left bag of weed out.

All the others deserve it. Specially child support and DUI, what's wrong with you.

It was for Criminal Trespassing.

Me and some friends of mine got the wise idea of robbing a construction site.

We were caught in the act.

A random police cruiser was driving by and wondered why a car and a bunch of teens were looking through a construction site after dark.

The only thing that saved us from serious jail time was that we didn't get a chance to steal anything.

I was 18.

The second time was at a Motel party.

I was 20.

The party started getting rowdy and a few police showed up.

After telling everyone to calm their shit down they started asking for IDs and found underage people there drinking.

Under 18s were taking to the juvenile center.

Me and my 18 to 20 year old friends and crowd were taken and spent the rest of the night in jail and just simply released the next day.

Seems like they didn't want to bother with underage drinking charges on a dozen or so people.

Of course not after some father to son rant from the old jail booker about dangers of drinking and acting like a fool.
