My BIL has been in and out of jail many, many times. He always says it's much better on the INSIDE than on the outside.
Let's see...they don't have to work, yet they get fed, a bed, clothing. They don't do their own laundry, yet they have clean clothes and linens. They get cable TV, take college classes, eat 3 squares a day, work out and get buffed up...so they can riot and overpower the guards, play cards, basketball, make phone calls...all at our expense!
Yeah, poor prisoners...they sure do have it tuff...

But they all manage to find him in jail. Isn't it amazing ? Jail
dabby
No. I believe she should die in that prison bed.
We gave as much tolerance as possible by letting her live, which - in my opinion - would have solved this whole situation years ago.
She is free to execute herself if she wishes.
I don't care if she is different, saved, rehabilitated. It does not excuse her hideous crime. She is there because she put herself there.
JMHO
do you think that is what happens in prison?
uh...
if that was the real case, that would be worse, but that's NOT the case
Well when I worked at a prison...
The first week I worked there (in 1990) we had a lockdown because the prisoners were rioting and throwing their TVs off the catwalks onto the guards below. The riot was because the warden had temporarily taken away their cable programming. The whole block had to be tear gassed before they calmed down.
You really need to educate yourself on prisoner's conditions and rights - you don't have a realistic idea of what incarceration is like.
First castration without anesthetic...then prison.
But that's just me.
Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
You know how you can tell a GREAT movie? When, even if you have the video with no commercial interruptions, if you're flickin' on regular 'ol TV and it's playing, you will stop and watch it...complete with editing for time and commercials. Airplane is one of those movies I will stop my flick-fest and actually sit down to watch and laugh every single time.
Same goes for all the Leslie Nillson Naked Gun flicks and pretty much any parody. Oh my gosh, LOVED Hot Shots with that older Bridges guy!
....I'm feeling a liquored-up comedy movie marathon coming up real soon!
Hope he becomes someone's wife in prison. nm.

This is why I despised working in a prison
That ridiculous non-fraternization rule. It also applied to non-guards (I was a clerk in the business office). I was supposed to report to the warden if an ex-con even said hello passing by in a grocery store, I was supposed to be psychic and know who every ex-con in the state was, and if they happened to be an old friend I hadn't seen in 20 years I was supposed to snub them and run away, even if neither of us knew the other's situation until halfway through the conversation. If I didn't fill out paperwork and send it to the warden to report every single innocuous contact, my job was in jeopardy. IMO, there's a difference between becoming best friends with a con with friends still inside, and just living your freaking life in a community where there are bound to be cons here and there, and they happen to speak politely to you when you bump elbows!
jail?!?!
Oh my goodness, are they really putting that into effect? I read it in the paper ( I am in Rincon, right outside of Savannah) and we just bought a new house, they put the grass down and said water it every day for 30 min,...and I said, how on earth am I suppose to do that with that water restriction going on! He said, "I dont know, if they say something to you, say you didn't know."!! I can't believe he told me that!! We have been getting rain here every other day or so, so its not too bad now. Today it has been raining for a few hours. They were actually calling for some flooded streets here in Rincon but then suppose to be right back to dry weather the rest of the week :(
Anyone had a relationship with a person in jailr or prison?
Is it someone you knew or have you gotten to know them since they went to prison? Do you write them or visit?
no problem-prison inmates will kill him....
   
Martha didnt know how to stay out of prison. Why

Does life in prison sound good to you? I would

Help. I have made my own prison. Please make suggestions sm
I will try to make this brief. I have marital problems, husband is gone all the time. I came to work at home again because I have no help with our children. I need to be here if they are sick and be here when they get home from school. But I have become once again socially isolated (I did this type of work for years and had a job outside of the home and enjoyed it, except for the fact that my children did not get enough attention, so I quit). I do have friends but I don't see them or talk to them often enough anymore. I used to walk several miles a day but never do that anymore, have gained weight, eat junk food, stay on the computer too long. I am constantly busy. I still do volunteer work with my children - Scouts, church, etc., but I am so overwhelmed. My husband is almost never here. It almost feels more like he comes to visit us sometimes than actually lives here, but I need his help financially and my son is very afraid for me to get a divorce (long story, but he is afraid he would have to live part-time with his dad, and they are not close). I have debt that my husband doesn't know about and would be extremely angry over. I can't sleep because of this. But he won't give me money for things we need, so I have often ended up charging things. When I tell him I need more money he tells me things like, "turn off the cable TV" or don't go out to eat. The thing is he spends lots and lots of money on entertaining himself. He makes 3 x as much as I do (or maybe 4 by now). I have not been allowed to open his mail for years and we pretty much never talk. I have started to allow things to pile up, mail around my desk, weight around my middle, clutter here and there. I just feel like a big slug. I am tired much of the time. In reading this I sound depressed but I am already taking an antidepressant which I started a few years ago because of my marriage. I love my children so dearly but I am afraid of leaving and disrupting their lives. If I left I would at least get my part of the equity in our home, etc., and maybe have a chance at having a life again. Anyway, I know this is long and rambling and jumbled, but I just woke up, from another night of poor sleep. Please suggest what you would do. Thanks
OJ SIMPSON GOT 15-16 YEARS IN STATE PRISON
for the Nevada crimes. I bet the Goldman's are jumping for joy.
Paris is off to jail
I think her lawyer wanted the electronic device but noooooo said the judge and it is 45 days in the slammer for Ms. Paris.
yes, she's still in jail this morning . . . nm

I didn't say put them in jail. (sm)
Tougher financial penalties, community service, loss of any business license - there are other options.
As a civilized society, life in prison without parole
xx
Yeah, except for the ones in jail because a 17-year-old
girl with a crush falsely accused them; happened to someone I know.
I never have used a crate in the 20 yrs of pet owning. Seemed like jail.
Take them out after each meal. Wait until they poop and applaud with joy, go immediately back into house. Take them out before sleep and first thing in morning to pee, afterwards cheer with glee. If you know what is going in, you can expect what will come out.
That is my experience.
Crates in my mind are used to spare the owner of an high energy dog. Walks will cure that. Long walks.
If no one is home all day, get up early and take him for a 30-45 minute walk and he will sleep all day awaiting your return.
The judge tosses her in jail - sm
Hope the link works. Pretty unbelievable story.
In the jail they're sending her to,
inmates only get 3 pairs of underwear per week!
Which is apparently 3 pairs more than she normally has.
Paris reportedly out of jail..sm
It is on the news report on the internet, CNN I believe, that Paris Hilton is out of jail after just three days, due to medical reasons. She was put in an electronic ankle bracelet and has to remain at home. Reportedly a psychiatrist went to visit her twice, the last visit being over two hours long, yesterday.
must be nice!!!
Just saw show on this about getting jail records, etc.
This prosecutor said when accessing a file you have to put in login # and time and I would suppose identifying yourself before getting a record on a person's previous jail records.
if not in Obama cabinent, you just go to jail!!
x
I don't know about that - guys like that usually suffer in prison - even most criminals hate chil
He would probably get what he deserves better in prison - from the other prisoners, as long as they don't let him out!!
Paris Hilton to jail for 45 days?
Prosecutors want to have her spend 45 days in jail for her priors. DUI, reckless driving, probation violation, not going to an alcohol program, etc. I think she should go. Anybody else would have been in a jail a long time ago. Celebs should not be given SPECIAL TREATMENT. Can't wait to see her picture in her prison jumpsuit. She will probably have it custom made.
Jimmy Kimmell has been doing jail scenes on her
nm
Were there Herb gardens to tend to in jail? LOL. nm

Besides many times life in jail is short anyway
or the criminal ends up with his own kind and fits in fine and learns more... so, if they live long enough (not killed by the other inmates) they learn how to be a better criminal. I just am agreeing there should be no parole. But oh boy, I'd never want to see the inside of one of those places.
I read where the Goldman's said they take credit for him being in jail -
they said if they had not pursued him so relentlessly for money he would not have been trying to steal his things back and they take credit and are proud that they pushed him into doing another illegal act so that he would finally be imprisoned.
Death Penalty Vs. Life in Jail
What do you think is worse?
I would think being locked in a jail cell for life, with the key thrown away is MUCH worse, than ending their life.
Can you imagine sitting in a cold jail cell, no windows, no tv, no books, no paper and pen, just a room, w/ a toilet, a cot, and bare minimum food to keep you alive.
I think that is worse.
Jail might be the safest place for him at this point...nm

We're doing okay considering. He managed to get out jail on a signature bond
and came back here saying this is half his house and I can't force him out. I met with my attorney who told me the only way to force him out is to file for divorce and then ask the judge for a court order to remove him from the house. So that is what I'm doing. My attorney is working on the paperwork, I'm gathering all up all my financials, deed to my house, etc, and he will file as soon as possible. Until then, according to the law, I'm stuck. As long he doesn't harm me or our kids, he cannot be forced out by an order of protection. So my options are make him hit me or just bide my time.
