<div class="IPBDescription">Any jail stories?</div>Okay, so... I was arrested for aggravated assault, armed robbery, arson, kidnapping and terroristic threats. I just bonded out on the 12th for ten thousand dollars after spending a month and a half behind steel and concrete.
OMFG I felt like painting my face blue and screaming "Freedom!!!!!" I didn't get around to the face painting, but as soon as I walked out of the jail I did get to scream.
Pierce County Jail is ###### terrible man... They just throw you back there and forget about your ass. The whole time I was there I was unable to call a lawyer or even my family until they prepaid this program called Paytell so I could collect call home.
I wasn't given anything to shave with until four weeks after being arrested. They don't offer to even cut your hair so we had to make a prison comb, which is basically two razor blades and a hair comb, to trim your hair.
The mattresses felt like bricks, the only drink you got was kool-aid unless you bought something off of commissary and on saturday you got milk with your breakfast tray.
I was jumped by two black boys, I say boys and not men because they were younger than me, over something retarded. Well... they thought I wouldn't fight back if they pushed me and I swung at one to prove that I would stand up for myself.
The jailers are ###### and won't attempt to stop a fight or intervene in any fashion unless they are attacked. Every request form I filled out was ignored, except for the medical form I filled out to ask for psychiatric help because I was depressed.
I found out why people are racist in south-east Georgia and that 9-10 white men won't lend a hand to help another cracker in need.
I found out that the Sheriff himself deserved to be in jail, more than I did, because of his illegal activities.
I also found out how you realize who your real friends are while you're locked up.
Anyways... I kept a journal that I'll probably copy down and post somewhere someday.
Anyone got any stories?

Sounds like you have one.
I've spent a lot of time in Australian jails. I install security systems in them for a living. I'd love to hear about the technology (if any) in overseas jails, and how they're run.

I'd rather not say what my charges are, but I'd rather have yours to be honest.
Agreed.
Not to mention a month and a half without a haircut really isn't long at all.
exactly why i keep my guns close <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
I still don't understand how they let you have razor blades in the clink. I know when you get arrested in the UK you get your possessions -including your shoes and belt- confiscated so you can't do yourself or anyone else any damage.
Also I don't really understand your sentence and your bail. They sound contradictory.
What I don't get is how anyone accused of "terroristic threats" would be given the opportunity to do a runner. The only way I can see this being justified is if the accusations in the first place were baseless.
Something smells fishy. The story just doesn't match up and sounds a bit too fantastic*.

Terroristic Threats has nothing to do with Terrorism (in the way we think about it). Most famous example (that I can think of) is a webcomic author (Matt Boyd from Three Panel Soul) was fired for talking about a hobby at work (buying a gun for target shooting), and was then visited by the authorities after he made a few webcomics about it (that being the 'terroristic threat' part, as he talked about it). The conclusion (IIRC), was that the agents (iirc FBI) basically went "umm, ok, this was dumb, no reason for us to be out here", and I think one of them found the comics entertaining.

<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->A terroristic threat is a crime generally involving a threat to commit violence communicated with the intent to terrorize another, to cause evacuation of a building, or to cause serious public inconvenience, in reckless disregard of the risk of causing such terror or inconvenience. It may mean an offense against property or involving danger to another person that may include but is not limited to recklessly endangering another person, harassment, stalking, ethnic intimidation, and criminal mischief.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I liked Machall a lot better. Ian/Matt seem to be very hit or miss with the humor. Sometimes its hilarious and sometimes I'm just like "ok...", but with Machall at least the art was always something good to look at. Three panel soul a lot of the time is lacking there too.
Those three comics were definitely funny though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
Is there a news posting somewhere that talks about the FBI goons visiting him?

There is, but I couldn't find it and thus didn't link anything.

Wasn't FBI, was State detectives.
What show?
It seems strange. I'd say the goons picked him up again and that's why he can't post any responses, but he was on yesterday according to his profile. Just hasn't posted anything since the original post in this thread.
I actually do have a candy jar. It has a picture of Cookie Monster on it. It's also filled with Hersey Kisses right now.
To clarify for those not in the know, I was in jail not prison. Jail is where you wait to stand trial and if found convicted you them later go to a detention center or prison depending on the crime and the amount of time sentenced.
Yes, we got razors like three times while I was in there, but you had to turn them in after one hour and were not allowed to keep one.
Back on topic, jail sucks- share!
