Jail!!

[nhop]

Hi Folks

I just got out of our county jail, and it was a pretty miserable experience. I have been in & out of the county jail about 6 times in the last few months, and I hope to never go back. That being said, fucking around with dope does carry certain risks...

Prior to going in this last time, I was using about 2 mg a day of suboxone, insufflated, with the occasional bag of dope here and there. Surprisingly, even after 5 days in the joint I had virtually no wd symptoms, other than the runs, and that could very well have been caused by the awful slop that they feed you in there.

The jail/prison experience in California is kinda strange, one would almost think one were in the deep south. It is very racial; white guys are "woods", mexicans are "paisas", American born mexicans are "southsiders", then there are "brothers & others". Sharing food outside one's race or sitting at the wrong table carry heavy penalties, and will usually result in being beaten up by the rest of your racial group. How is the jail/prison experience in your part of the state (or world)?

One bit of advice I can offer to anyone going in to jail, especially if you have a habit is to claim that you are an alcoholic. They will then script you benzos, in my case librium. This will help you to sleep away some of your time, or if you are strung out, possibly help you to get a few winks...

Hope everyone stays safe and avoids jail & prison.

Take care,

NHOP

Ahh, lovely... another stereotype. Have you ever been to jail in the "deep south", NHOP?

Anyway... I'll get off my high horse a moment and welcome you and tell you I'm glad you're out of the pokey. Welcome to Opiophile!

I apologize Nastyzilla, I meant no offense. You are right, I was definitely stereotyping. And no, I have never been to jail in the deep south.

Well, I got beat to smithereens (case of mistaken identity) and then refused to identify the assailant, which made me good in everyone's book. I spent my time protected because of that, but I did see boys raped and other atrocities. Of course, that was a military stockade, and it was in a time that in may ways was even more insane than the present. We had some real racial tension in all sectors of society, and the only place men were equal was in a firefight. There was still plenty of good reason for black guys to gripe, and some of them tended to take it out on white guys in the stockade. For me, it was the ignorant racists I was most relieved to have protection from, because my advice to the black man was the same then as it is now: when you look in the mirror, don't see a black man, see a man. That didn't sit well with either militant blacks or racist whites, but real men of all races thought it was pretty cool.

i was in county jail last yr for 3 days. fucking freezing. they placed me in one of the chiller wings. i pretty much slept the entire time other than emerging for a bite of shit food.

i just sat at the closest table, granted there were 3 bubbas at it. they didnt try or say shit. talked reasonably suprisingly. i was pretty depressed and didnt eat much of the shit food. i gave what i didnt eat to them. perhaps theyd get my back later if need be...

now ive heard a great deal about not bitching out and testing...if it came down to it id throw down even if i wasnt a fighter. you cant take shit or else thats all youll get.

another important thing to know is no one is your friend there. dont say shit about yourself and if you do l then lie out your ass. word gets around and quick.

but yeah, fuck jail.

For a supposedly civilized country the U.S. certainly has a
third world prison / justuce system.
The tax payers certainly arnt getting what we pay for.

Main thing in jail is to not be weak. Don't snitch, don't be a punk. A punk in jail is on the receiving end of homosexual sex. The idea is to be stand-up. Most people are frightened at first, then get used to it. Jail society is just more primitive, no political correctness at all. Most people in troubled situations tend to stick with what is most like them: family, race, country of origin...it's just about protection. I was always friendly with my cellies, no matter what the race, but people of the same race tend to stick together in jail. Again, the idea is just not to be weak, not to let anybody push you around, or, the worst thing, get forced into sex...as in jail its strictly a power/violence issue, nothing to do with "choice." If yer small and pretty somebody will try to force u to have sex and I've seen it happen, and it breaks a man entirely, so its better to fight. But generally, if u don't show weakness you'll be alright. White boys are often thought of as weak, so it's good to get that impression out of the way early on, and then yer time goes smooth. Hell, I've even had fun at times in jail. I like clowning around, and I know how to stand up for myself, and other than that, there's no problem...as long as u got enough money for yer zoos-zoos and wham-whams u won't have no problems. And u know, if u can't do the time, then don't do the crime... When I was hittin drugstores and shit, I always operated on the theory I could do a stretch if I had to. That makes it less nervewracking, and since u never want to rat nobody off, it's a good attitude, IMO...

But I've been in jails all over, from Alachua County in Florida, to LaFouche Parish Prison in Louisiana, to Orange County Jail, and California Institute for Men at Chino. Shit, ain't nothing but a meatball, no sweat...or at least you gotta operate on that theory, or u've got no business in the game. It's sadly part of this life. If u can hold yer mud you'll be alright, and may find it's not the worst experience in the world...unless yer kicking, then it *is* the worst experience in the world ;-)

I know I got my B#, and DD knows what that is...tho some got C numbers, and old hands got A#'s

I've been in the pokey here and there and it is not for me. I'm no punk but I am a filthy hippy which is also frowned upon. I can't keep my mouth shut for my own good when it comes to some shit. I just cannot seem to get along with the screws. This probably leads to problems with other inmates in the long run. Thank god I haven't had to find out whether that is the case. Luckily I look kind of like DevilDogs avatar (if I'm not strung way out) so I think I have had it a little easier when it comes to talking my way out of violence. I have friends who are alot smaller than me who get in fights every time they are locked up over shoes or equally stupid shit. A dude I work with is small as hell and also just the kind of guy everyone fucks with as much as possible and he surprised the hell out of me when he told me he'd done 4 months in prison. I don't know how the hell he did it he is like the dream target of every asshole out there. If he survived and didn't get raped (like Duckfeet said it can destroy a man and he doesn't seem destroyed, maybe he was to ugly to be raped?) then anyone can. If all else fails punch the windpipe or gouge eyes. Prison may be the only place in the world where I can see myself resorting to violence. Yeh, jail can be kind of fun sometimes but in kind of the same way work is fun like you are laughing but a the same time thinking about nothing but getting out and away from this lame ass shit.
