Have you ever been in jail? If so, what was it like for you?

I have been in jail briefly (~ 2hrs) several times as a result of false accusations from my ex. The cops were very sympathetic and decent to me each time.

Apart from the drunk tank, it’s very hard to actually land in prison in Germany. Most is handled through fines and conditions. Our whole prison population is only ~58.000 people, most of them with 1-3 years sentences. The American penal system makes no sense to me, whatsoever.

Unfortunately yes. Spent 3 months in Fulton county in Atlanta Ga. It’s terrible, no freedom sucks, the food sucks. Never want to relive it again. Lol

Yes I have been. It was bearable but I definitely don’t want to end up back in jail.

Very briefly I’d be a goner in prison

food is absolutely terrible, boring, everyone is weirdos, cold, hard bed, no pillow and a sheet, cold …

really does suck best part calling family

no, had a close call due to a person accusing me of a crime.

road with a cop once, gave me respect for how miserable of a job it is. beyond me how they do that job for 25 years.

Only as an observer for a charity. That prison was for very good boys in a business program and trying to get probation.

I’m sure Attica or Chino is a bit messier. This one was like an underfunded school, honestly.

no. I beat the rap.

RE Update- most cops I know are divorced themselves some more than once. When they are divorced twice they say they have "two behind them".

No and I never want to. 😳
