Wanna know what jail was really like? Here's my story

Sweet Tooth​

I always had a sweet tooth, as my mother would say. One of my earliest childhood memories was stealing candy with my then partner-in-crime from her dad's kiosk. As we leaped into the rain from the musky little steel shop, giddy with the thrill of danger, she took out the small piece and bit it in half. A casual observer then would perhaps have seen our youth as filled with sweet innocence and summers playing in the yellow painted stone labyrinth we called our home but we knew better. We always knew better.

Fast forward about a decade and a half give or take and there I was, freshly clothed in the standard lime green of [DELETED] Regional Correctional Facility and I couldn't help but feel that same giddiness. An exciting new chapter was beginning in my life. I had heard all the tales and horrors about jail like everyone else, perhaps more so because I'd been finishing 2 years of probation and had developed an obsession about the prison industry. Now I got to experience it firsthand.

I'm not a bad person, I don't think. In fact, I would venture to almost say I'm a pretty good guy with a pretty decent life compared to most people on this planet. The truly unfortunate may even say I'm blessed. But I always wanted more and I always wanted it better than I had. How could I not, spending hours a day watching all those rap starts and celebrities leading a fabulous lifestyle? I wanted it all and more, hell, I needed it. I didn't grow up poor but I wanted to be rich, that's just the kind of person I am. I guess being rich would mean the end of feeling like I had misspent my life. The end of feeling like I was more than just one fuckup after another.

Yet there I was, lying in my jail bed with a grey blanket, one bed sheet and a thin foam mattress between me and the metal. Even then I knew the good days were yet to come.

Just getting an initial reaction haha and if you guys want me to write more i will.

Stop writing multiple threads about doing a couple weeks in county, it doesn't make you a badass.

I've been to state prison in AK, and county jail in OR and FL and I don't make a thread about it to a bunch of strangers on the Internet every day. It might be cool to some trashy girls until you hit your mid 20s then it just makes you a loser.

Not to be harsh but get over it man, you spent a few weeks in jail (which is really not that bad - unless you were in for a violent felony county jail = you're in with a bunch of generally normal, guys who just had minor fuck ups like drug charges; its not like you were in max security state prison), you've got a lot more weeks than that left in your life just take it as a lesson - stop talking about it and dwelling on it and get over it.

Lol, I think this guy wants to do his own version of The Shawshank Redemption

they call 6 weeks a shit and a shave lol

Dude your jail is paradise compare to what we have here, have you ever watch banged up abroad? that is not an exegeration..

This is the absolute truth. Going to jail definitely doesn't make you cool or tough. You'll realize that one day. Just move on and stop posting threads about it.

lol guys calm down, i was testing my writing skills

that's good advice and i'm not dwelling on it, i just thought i'd start a journal and that's the way i write. i never said it was cool. and im doing well now again.

So why was it you were put into the clink?

instead of wasting your time writing that 4 paragraphs...you couldve written a viral facebook script that could make you a couple hundred :/

now get to work foo

LOL exactly what I was gonna post

Your jail cell sounds like a five star motel

Haha, the insanity pursues in this thread!

hmmm, I read the first post and thought this was going to turn in to a gay porn story...

pewep. It sounds pretty cool man. You have a good writing talent and there's
nothing wrong with sharpening it on this subject of a sucky topic that I'm sure left a bad taste in your mind. In the U.S. 6 weeks isn't done in jail. It's usually done in prison. Even a jail can be dangerous. I remember that very well. Instead of online flame wars you can get jumped in a life or death scrap over a cigarette butt, or a tiny bit of space on a thin metal bench or floor space in an overcrowded cell filled with dealers and homeless people. You can also get your head pushed in by hardrock correction officers getting paid for doing time but they still do time and a lot of it!

pewep, I think you know the difference between the time you did and a 10 or 20 year bid but then again you were in maximum security. It's inhumane in there without comparing it or feeling like a badass. Express yourself if you want to. You make money and teach others on BHW how to also. Express yo self foo!

Reading posts like the OP's is as close to jail as I ever want to get...

hahaha, at first i already feel that it was a making up stories.But nice try mate.Goodluck for your writing skills.
