View Full Version : My Jailhouse Detox Nightmare....

So as I've made it known her, I recently absconded my misdemeanor probation and decided to lay low and avoid the law altogether. I was violated by my PO for "Failure to make payment arrangements befor leaving T-House" and "Failure to notify PO of an address change". On the night of March 12th, I had aquired some 80mg Purdue OC's. I was taking a few day vacation from my subs and was rigging up the OC in my upstairs room. (Its probably important to mention I'm living with some friends right now as Im unemployed at the moment). Well, as I put the rig to my arm and find a vein, My friend shouts at me from downstairs - "Hey, You've got company!" Well, I was expecting a certain friend to stop by and visit me that night. I'm usually looking over my shoulder and overly prepared for Police to show up....

So here I come, prancing joyfully down the stairs to be greeted by a city police officer. I was caught off gaurd, couldnt run, couldnt hide, I was fucked. He had walked right into the house without knocking and began shining around his flashlight looking for me. I was completely shocked and distraught. The police finding me - to me - was equivalent to a death sentence, as I believed I was looking my probation being revoked and at serving my whole 1 year sentence. To me, that is an absolute nightmare, as it would destroy my college education and 4 year relationship with my fiance...
Well, they took me off to jail, booked me, and threw me in the tank. I had 1 suboxone left for the month and an appointment with the doc in 2 days, where I would've gotten another prescription...
I took my last sub the night I got in there (the nurse gave it to me).
I was given a video arraignment in the morning and I was denied bond!!!! FUCK!!! No more school for the forseeable future, no sub doc appt.... I was FUCKED.
2 days into it, I began feeling the lack of subs in me. RLS, my body felt very hot and strange, almost like an anxious energy flowing through my veins. I began sweating. I needed my fucking meds! But had no way of getting more. I spent 7 days straight in a detox/suicide watch cell - this is the HARDEST time you can do in county jail. The cell is a small concrete cell with large windows on two sides, right up in the booking area where everyone looks in at you. They made me wear a Bam Bam suit (which is just a padded strange suit) other than that, your naked. I was given a mat with NO blanket or pillow. I had a toilet/sink combo and no shower. I was forced to do my business in the open where anyone in the booking area could watch me shit liquid/puke/gag. I didnt eat for a week straight.
7 days later I was finally moved to general population, still pretty sick, couldnt sleep if my life depended on it... One week after that was my probation violation hearing - I had plead not guilty at the arraignment and was appointed an attorney. I was planning to drag on the situation and make things as difficult and costly as possible for the courts (as both charges were COMPLETELY false) - I forgot to mention, my PO added an additional charge of "showing intimidating and aggressive behavior" towards her - all I did was hang up the fucking phone on the bitch. Well, I went to court, wrote a nice ball-sucking letter to the judge begging for leniency and denying guilt. Before seeing the judge, I saw my PO talking to my attorney; well it just so happens that she didnt want to be put through all this unnessesary bullshit/hearings and offered me a plea deal - I plead guilty to just ONE of the violations and she reccomends TIME SERVED - which was 14 days at the moment. So I took the plea, the judge gave me time serverd.... BUT, to my surprise, HE REVOKED MY PROBATION, JUST TOOK ME OFF. I had until november on intensive probation and he just let me off the hook. No more UA's no more NA/AA cult bullshit.... ALL DONE!!

I finally was released that afternoon and have been happy to be free ever since. I am still like a little kid on christmas.

Anyhow, I got out, got my bupe, and am loving life. THAT 2 weeks was the worst of my life though. FUCK

Just thought I'd share

Wow that I think is my biggest nightmare!! What bad luck to fill up the rig and have it all ready to go then the cops take you away after your done prepping it. That's just cruel and unusual punishment!!! Cant believe you got off papers that easily. How many months or years of probation did you serve? Even though you had to go through all that bullshit it could have been a lot worse and I know you know that. So it looks like you will be able to go back to school and make a new appt. for your sub doctor huh?

Yeah. So I left my whole "kit" just sitting there in my room. It was all still there when I came back.

This past november, I was sentenced to 1 year probation. I served 60 days in a T-House due to a dirty UA (hydromorphone) and was violated by my PO on THE DAY I GOT OUT OF THE T-HOUSE!! My PO has a reputation for being a sadistic bitch. I truly believe that locking people up like animals for NON VIOLENT offenses is inhumane and wrong.

I would've been off probation this coming novemeber, but nope, Im off now!! :D

hey, detoxing in jail may suck (yes i've also been there more than once)
but you ran from probation, so what you got was bought and paid for by you and no one but you

No shit, some friend. Let me tell you, stories like that put it all into perspective. I've been feeling quite shitty the last few days & after reading that, which is like my worst nightmare, I don't feel so bad. That literally makes my skin crawl. Thank God everything worked out in the end & you don't have to deal w/ that foul PO anymore. I will NEVER understand how ppl can be locked up with violent perpetrators for choosing to self-administer a substance. I just don't get it.

Anyway... Nothing to add to the thread, other than that, yeah.... I'm sorry to hear that happened to you, man.... Thats terrible. I don't know (and never want to find out) what CT from bupe is like, but.... <trails off..>

Anyway, needless to say, that sort of thing is one of all of us' worst nightmares ever...

In another thread, I had posted a link (that I can't find anymore) to a story about a couple of british junkies to whom the same thing had happened... After surviving the ordeal, they seem to have SUCCESSFULLY sued the jail for inhumane treatment/violation of 'human rights.'/etc...

Very little short of torture, I personally would be inclined to say. Some here might disagree, but good god damn man, it really is pretty freaking bad...

Glad you survived............ at&t

Yeah, I'm really glad to not have to deal mith that woman anymore. Her husband is also a probation officer. I don't think anyone else in their right mind would marry a b**** like that.

Shelley - Yes, I definitely knew the potential consequences when I absconded my probation. That's why I was watching over my shoulder like a hawk... Definitely no way to live though, Im glad its over with. :)

Now, I'm not so terrified of detoxing at home, as it doesn't seem so bad. That 2 weeks definitely put things into perspective.

They made me wear that suit too, prompting one of the guards to nickname me "Taliban". Ohh that motherfucker...

No offense Shelley, but I didn't see the dude complaining or throwing himself a pity party. I think that you're going overboard with your preachy, moralistic bullshit. Cut the dude some slack. If you got on here relating a story about how you snagged AIDS from turning an unsafe trick in your faraway past how would you feel if people jumped your shit, saying you got what you were asking for???

I'm not trying to start an argument or tear you down but sometimes I think you go a little overboard with that didactic, opinionated, soap box shit you are so well known for. We all know that you are a strong woman that is steadfast in your beliefs, sometimes you should tone it down and stop trying to re-re-reinforce your image.

People can jump my shit now for calling someone when I only have 10 posts and afterbirth on my join date. :D

Your "BAM BAM" suit is actually a canvas gown that is usually give to patients / inmates who are on suicide watch. This is also why you got no bed sheets. Peeps have all too often successfully killled themselves with nothing more that the shirt on their back and a door nob.....

OH: and I just have to ask. Did you bang that two week old rig or not? And to other posters, would you have? I'd have done it. Probably would have re rigged it and heated it a bit though. . .
