Have you or someone you know ever been to jail?

I always see jail come up in movies or mentioned on the internet but I’ve never known anyone who’s been to jail.

Officially 48 hours arrest... only.

Psych ward for 2 months. Worse than arrest. They give you too many drugs.

Personally...

10 years of self-isolation at home, feeling absolutely twisted in my body and mind! Diagnosed schizophrenia...

This illness is way worse than jail.
Fortunately there is medication, but I was taking too much and had side effects.

It took me 5 years to find medication stack that wouldn't make my legs restless and wouldn't make me feel emotionless.

And another 5 years to open my mouth to anyone without feeling like they'd try to kill me.

Wow, now it all makes sense. Thailand, drugs, SEO. It's all connected like... on acid or shrooms... Pursuit of happiness...

What's so simple as drugs and can be legally taxed... pharma, crypto, SEO.

I met two brothers, they spent 22 years in jail and their 5 years left but the court gave them the option to spend 5 more years in jail or pay the fine. They chose to pay the fine but their family abandoned them they were having no money they were my father's friends. They came to our home for money but of course we were not able to pay their fine. After seeing them, I was traumatized by how a jail can ruin your life. MAN 22 years is too much, they went to jail when I was not even born

i've got a pal expecting to do some serious digital marketing studies when he goes in, off the back of what I learned from you guys

other than that, prison's changed a lot of people around me's lives in good ways and in bad

i have a pal that's terrified of cling film because of his few years in, he hasn't even told us why, i've honestly sat up at night thinking about the hundred different ways cling film could terrify you

i've been to jail, never to prison

I've been locked up overnight many a time in my younger days... Young and thinking or knowing your superman.

Only in a police station cell. Used to joke about having a coffee mug at my location station.

Avoided a longer sentence twice.

Got friends who done time 3 & 5 years.

Did a bit under 6 months for strong-armed robbery in my youth... was young dumb and drunk, saw two others flashing around some cash, gave em a whoppin' and pocketed the money. Ended up getting ID'd hours later with police cruising around the neighborhood. Quite frankly, it put me on the right course, on release I was house arrest for another 6 months + weekly check-ins... got addicted to EverQuest during that time and it kept me off the street and away from a lot of bad influences around.

I did end up arrested again a few years later for putting my step father through a glass coffee table when he smacked my mother in front of me. Was given 3 years suspended sentence and mandatory anger management classes. The classes helped a lot and techniques I learned there I continue to use today, but I'll still go into a blind rage if someone laid hands on my wife or children.

Ultimately, don't recommend it kids. Keep your nose clean, stay out of jail. It's boring, depressing, and you're locked up with far more fucked up individuals... nearly got stabbed for winning a few games of crazy 8s in a row during rec time, they ended up putting that dude into isolation for the rest of my time there.

Let`s just say most of us were growing up in a world without Internet and spent our times in the teens with other things .. like ..
