Have you ever been in jail?

In jail they do nothing. They are told when and where to do everything. The people that do as they are told somtimes get the opportunity to be a "trustee". Trustees are the ones that do the cooking, cleaning and laundry for everyone. It is a privledge to be a trustee because they are able to ove about the facility instead of being in a small confinded area. At certain times everyday the imates are given their 3 meals which usually consists of somthing alot worste than hospital food. There are uniforms that you are given to wear, no privacy. The toilet is right in the middle of the room.

Lol, interesting questions. I have not been in jail as having been sent there by the courts, but where I come from it's part of the requirement of getting a law degree to tour one in order to see where we send the offenders. And from what I hear the prisons here are very similar. Live in prison is very regulated. They get their meals at a certain time three times a day. As is work and recreational time. Most prisons don't allow a TV in the cells but a couple of books. They often share a cell with at least one other inmate. They don't take baths but showers, which in some prisons are not a daily luxury. The rooms should be clean. But they are usually kept clean by an inmate assigned to the job. The laundry is done by inmates assigned to the job in a central laundry in the prison. Clean prison standard clothes are issued every few days or so.

Hi, my husband's a jail officer and I've been inside a jail. His assignment now is a clean jail that looks like a hotel lobby inside. The inmates can walk around the compound and their food is alright. They can take a bath daily if they want to.

I have been inside a jail but never as inmate. Back when my aunt was still alive we always go to the provincial jail to do Sunday school and similar stuff because she is in the jail ministry of the church. And I'm married to a jail officer ;O) I have been inside the notorious Cebu City Jail and it was scary. My husband's assignment in Bayawan City looks much better though. The place is huge and clean and looks a bit like a hotel lobby inside. The inmates have normal lives inside the jail and eat good food. ;o)

I haven't been in jail.But when I were watching Prison Break,I thought about that.I think that be in the prison is terrible.But if you don't want to be in jail,you can try to break out.

I have been to jail before for 21 days. I was renting a house and I did some damage to the house. My landlord said that she was going to evict me. I came home one day to find the locks changed and a fake eviction notice on the door. The kind that you type up and print, not one filed through the courthouse and approved by a judge. My rent was paid up to date. I broke a back window to get back in. One of the neighbors followed my landlord's instructions to call the police if they saw me there. The cops showed up and arrested me for burglary and trespassing. I kept trying to tell the cops that they needed to look it up to see that I had not been legally evicited, but apparently they were quite stupid! I had to sit in jail for 3 weeks until the state dropped my charges and let me go home. Jail sucks. I had to share my cell with 2 other women who seemed to be very interested in starting arguments. You can shower daily, but it has to be in front of everybody. You can watch tv for short periods of time every day, and get to go outside a few times a week for about an hour. The food sucks, it's freezing, and very stressful. I never want to go back!
