I was in a city jail for a week and didn't shit because the toilet was in the middle of a 50 man cell, no walls, no privacy. One day a crackhead came in and we were having peanuts with our dinner. Dude shaves one up with his nails and tosses it on the floor near the fiend. MF finally saw it after a few minutes and dove on it like he was stealing home in the world series. On another day, guy got in with a quarter tucked in his ass or nuts. We used the bibles the "good guys" gave us every week for the rice papers. Somehow we got some matches. One thing they did was twist toilet paper really tight and let it burn real slow so we would have fire. I did a few days in another city jail, 6 man, boring as fuck. I went to a county/fed hold in LA for a few days. FUCKIN NUTS in there! Like someone said, poindexter sittin next to Dexter. There was like 40 guys in an 18 man cell. People sleeping on and under the stainless steel tables, everywhere. This guy got a magazine and started flipping through it fast, ripped a page out and announced "oh yeah, bitch, I'ma fuck you tonight" and took it straight to his bunk and tucked it under his pillow. On my way out this guy told me to give him my socks and underwear. He just wanted to fight, and we did, until the guards got in and seperated us. Shit was loud while we were fighting, EVERYBODY was screaming. Only thing keeping me from killing a few deserving assholes is knowing what is waiting if I get caught. Fuck that. Freedom to move about the cabin is some good shit.
Slowbus, I am sorry you got shanghaied. That shit happens every day, and it is fucked. Prosecuting attorneys and cops should have to do time when they get caught sedning someone up when they knew it was wrong. THAT would help the scales of justice.
