Anyone served time?

[Twoply 0]

I work with a lot of convicts and I make up series of circumstances that ends me looking at a 30 to life sentence. I dont think I'd be able to handle it. I wonder how people deal with knowing they are going to the clink for that amount of time. I'd ask the guys I work with but they aren't the kind of people that I want to really get to know very well.
I dont even think I'd be able to handle a 5 to 15 year stretch.
Anyone served some time that they would like to admit?

Yes.

My dad was an L.A. County Sheriff. His idea of babysitting on weekends while mom worked was locking me up in a cell with toys while he hung out at the station with his friends.

That...is my hard core prison experience. Those silver toilets are cold.

I should rephrase that. The majority of people that are on work release that I come into contact with are always pulling stunts and scams. Not people I'd like to hang with whether they had served time or not.

I did about 30 days in Monroe County, Michigan once, how's that??

Kinda depends on what you mean by "time". Couple months here and there, that count as time??

I spent ten months in Raiford for doing a job.

I had to put fire escapes on both ends of the hospital and turn an open ward into lockdown cells.

My boss seldom came to see me.

Spent some time in a locked ward at the laughing academy.

That count?

I was sent to "Time Out" once or twice. Does that count? I hated it to! I remember the dread of having to go and sit still being quiet for 20 mins.

Thanks, now I've got to call my therapist! I thought I was over these feelings.

I did one night in jail a few years ago. One blow-up at home because the wife wouldn't let me sleep and then I ended up trying to block the door to my bedroom and keep the police out.

All I did in the blow-up was throw a lamp across the room, right through the cheap-ass hollow door to the bathroom.

I just wanted to sleep in peace.

I did a night in the drunk tank for a DUI. It was only about 6 hours, but it seemed like forever as I didn't sleep and couldn't see the clock.
