... i don't know, but when i do, i'll be sure to tell you all. you know, it's exactly what some of you people need, to know what it's like for those people. i don't see the point in sitting in your clouds with all the answers for situations you have no idea about. IIIIIIIIII WILL TEACH YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been looking for stories from the 'inside', but they are really scarce. I guess people either want to put it all behind and forget once they're out, or maybe it just seems futile to even try communicating it... the few former inmates I know don't really talk about it much.
Jane Meyerding, an internet acquaintance of mine, has written a detailed report of her jail experience: http://mjane.zolaweb.com/jail.html
A women's prison is probably quite different from a men's prison, and prisons in the US are probably quite different from prisons in Antarctica 😉, so it may not be that useful for 7ate9. But I found it interesting to read.

In Poland they put barium in the tea. You couldn't get a hard on even if you wanted, let alone raise a fist.
Originally posted by 7ate9Depends on where you are incarcerated. The European jails are pretty decent from what I hear. If you are going to Pelican Bay in California be prepared to be somebody's bitch unless you are a pretty good sized person.
i've never been to prison before, so i don't really know what it's like. i've been told a number of times that you never back down from anyone. do you think this is a good idea for me, cause i always have a natural tendency to stand on the biggest toes. it may be a good idea for the majority of people who do time, but for me it may just leave me with like the biggest hole.
should i fight in jail or not?

Originally posted by 7ate9A guy I worked with told me that a certain guy told him to fight him and he said ok. Then he told him these pu??ys in here will not fight. He also told me that if you do not fight they will fight you all the time. He told me one time some guy was kicking him in the butt like he was a dog until he turn around and hit him so hard that he broke his own wrist. The boss said that that guy that wanted to fight that guy I worked with as big as a house. That guy I worked with said one day he put a lock in a sock too fight off three guys one time. These are just a few things I have heard over the years from one person that was there. You do not even want too know about the food. By the way this is about prison and not jail. There is a big differance between the two. If you fight in jail you may go from jail to prison. Prison can be a survival situation. You answer your own question.
