Go To Jail...Do Not Pass Go...

I have never been to jail, never been to prison. I've always gone out of my way to avoid things like that--as I know you did, you just didn't know you couldn't trust your friends. I had an advantage in that I'm mostly a loner and have been all my life so I didn't have friends to shop with when I was younger. I think it would be awful to be in jail!

nope never been to jail or arrested or anything.. some cops thought my friends and i like committed arson but we ran before they could question us haha.. other than that i got a speeding ticket once lol..

Nope, I have never been to jail or prison. I have a squeeky clean record. No driving tickets or accidents either, ever. I didn't live in a closet or anything and was a typical teenager but always stayed out of trouble. I chose good friends who never had any raging tendencies to do anything wrong. We were all afraid of our parents..lol

I have never been to jail unless on playing monopoly. I did get a very stern lectures, one from a store owner for shoplifting and from my father who made me take the panty hose back and I had to also pay for them, and one from a police officer when I missed the bus and hitchhiked to get ahead of the bus. That was frightening enough for me that I decided never to shop lift on a dare and even if it took twenty miles to get somewhere and I had no money, just to keep walking.

H[i]i twoey, I never experienced that but it will also scare me! LOL! I had a friend, close friend who was also in jail for like a week! He was crying hard since he was used to have a nice room etc and there, he has to sleep with other people and not a very clean area! I am sure it taught him a lot of lesson, is his case, it was their fault! HE was part of the grou[/i]p!

I have never been to jail. Knock on wood.

No, I've never been to prison. My partner has had a scrape with the law though, because he's daft basically. He and his friend were walking home from a Nightclub one night, in a town two towns away from ours, they noticed a briefcase on the floor in a car park, they decided it must have been just left and they were going to take it to the police station in the town next to ours, as they were walking towards that town, a police car pulled up next to them and they both got pulled into it and questioned. Apparently some bloke had had his own briefcase stolen and it looked like the one they'd picked up. After a good few hours of questoning and them protesting their innocence, the policeman showed the bloke the case and he told them it wasn't even his! It was full of soggy old bits of paper, looked like it'd been there for ages. So, eventually they were allowed home. The trouble is, because of how late he got back, he then got into trouble with me.

I got a dui, had to stay til I was sober. Then another time, I went to bail a friend out, found out I had a warrant, I got cuffed while in the jail and had to wait for book and release, took about 4hours. Guess what the warrant was for? No seat belt ticket! So, it's true, now ya know, I am a hardened criminal!

Just in Monopoly... oh, and a tour of the new Mountain Station...

I have never been in jail or prison. When I was 19 years old I visited someone that was in jail once. He's out now.

Yes I have been to jail but only to visit someone . That was about 7-8 years ago when my cousin was in jail (the first time he is up to 3 now) and I was sort of forced to go visit him. It looked great. Nice new jail with lots of plants and all. They had a shop in there, gym, computers, library and lots of other things. They had kitchen where they could cook and only 2 people per room. But I bet its not fun to actually stay there.

I am lucky, I have never been to jail or arrested. I am sure I did a lot of silly things like you did when you were a teenager that had we been caught would have gotten us into a lot of trouble. Fortunately I wised up on my own :)

i was not been in prison but there was this one time when i was questioned by the security guards in the malls with the belonging i have in possession back then. i was held in question in some small police station just outside the mall on the parking lot area. i was not locked inside their small good for one person prison. i was just asked to sit beside the table and wait for them to questions me till they have time. but hours passed they didn't question me and didn't know what to do. cause the things i had with me was not something dangerous to any humans. but actually a protection against theft etc. they don't know what to asked me caused they don't see any wrong with what i have. only those stupid security guards insisted on those police to held me up and question. and those police had no choice but to bring me there. and the police actually don't want to help me up. but like just felt pressured because of this one stupid security guard. anyways, to make the story short. the only time i was released when i finally agreed to give some money to them or the police . it is just little money about $10. but big enough for me though. anyways, the thing i had with me is tear gas or what is known as pepper maze in the USA. i have about a dozen cause i got some order from one mall stall which i do before without much problem. but that time was different though. things were not as easy and times were dangerous. there is the terrorism locally in the philippines. and there was the 911 incident. and so the malls were so stupidly strict that time. so i was kind of victim also of those things. so i stopped making or delivering pepper maze cause people has become suspicious and every one is like a suspect back then.

yes yes yes!it is terrible as they show and yes it ghanged my life.lesson learned and it saved my life as well.and i am not going back!!!!!

This will be interesting to read some of the responses. Here is my big jail story. I was 18 when this happened. A friends car ran out of gas, so he parked it, while it was parked someone stole the battery. Here is a car with no gas, and no battery, its only a few blocks from home. My friend asked If I could help push the car home, sure no problem. We did it at night so we wouldn't interfer with traffic. It was him, his pregnant wife and I. Well the car was too heavy for us to push, she was steering the car. So along came a couple of nice guys and offered to push the car with their car, great, but the cars bumpers did not match up. So the 2 guys sat on the car, put their legs out and the other car pushed the car with the guys legs in between, we were going slow. I somehow got elected to steer the car being pushed. The cops came along, they stopped us, (the cop was not very nice) He wanted to see my drivers license, I didn't have one. Long story short, I got arrested and taken to jail, I was charged with no drivers license, no head lamps and improper plates. Couldn't turn the lights on, no battery, and the people who stole the battery also stole the front plate. I was booked, mug shot and thumb printed, I was so scared it was unbelievable. My sister came and got me out.

I've never been IN jail, but I have gone to jail to pick people up... I had to go pick my little brother up once, my mom one time and my sister once. The funniest was my sister, she was trying to pay a speeding ticket, but in Virginia they are serious about speeders. They shackled her (ankles to waist to wrists) and put her in a jail cell. Her original 30-day sentence was reduced to 8 hours.

I have been to jail but not for anything that I regret. I've been to jail for justice seeking reasons on 23 separate occasions. Twenty of those times were for disability rights and disturbing the peace, which is what they say when they just want to get rid of you and can't charge you with anything else. The three other times were for protesting war. I'm not sorry I did any of these things. My favorite folk singer has a song called, "Have You Been to Jail for Justice?" It's my favorite song and I feel it sums up my attitude toward the whole situation. I do not want to go jail, ever, but if it comes down to it, I will.

I am so very sorry, twoey, that my life is so boring as not to have any type of prison or jail stories. Only time I've ever even been in a police department is in Chicago when I was pressing charges on someone who broke into my car at the time. That was over 15yrs. ago and don't remember any of it.

Yep, several times. Ok, so I've never been in trouble, but i've been inside jail cells before, all in the name of education. Yep, mostly at historic jails, but that counts doesn't it? lol.

I was arrested in high school for smoking pot on school grounds but never went to jail. I was released into my mother's custody right away. I think I would have rather gone to jail
