The main Santa Ana county jail! The dirty dozen! Worst county jail I've been in! They are lumping and breaking inmates left and right in the loop! I got nerve damage from being cuffed reversed two of them tried to break my arm but couldnt!i was pushing down with what force I had while they tried to chicken wing me! Green outfit bastards I asked for toilet paper! That's why...

I did twin towers too extradited from OC, herded down a hall in receiving, butt naked with 100 others! Weird setup you could kinda wander around this long glassed area before being booked! Wasn't bad though!

Reason I was extradited was because I was in Compton as a sales closer for ADt security! I went to pick up some weed real quick from some dudes I met earlier after I dropped my reps off on the blocks! Anyway I picked up and was smoking out of an apple while I was driving and I guess the light was red(I saw green) and I t boned the only other white dude in Compton! Never went back to court on it! My most mild offense!

Some times it's all in the way you ask.....Did your request start with a quick kick to the shins & the words "Heay you green outfit bastards"?lol......People always want to blame the other guy for having a bad day....did you ever think it might have been you, having the bad day?.....just sayin...

I certainly did not ask with any kind of disrespect! Of course I was having a bad day, sure you may have stood around this type of stuff but did you get refused toilet paper So you could shit? Next to 40 others mind you, did you have to use your shoes as pillows? Did you get to sleep on concrete for 48 hours before getting to a bed? Did you get beat up by some assholes because you politely ask for some toilet paper? Did you have to hold your shit for near two days? Did you eat the cancer nutrition-less food? Did you not get to see your family or talk to them for years at a time because of the shame? Did you have to find your place on the yard? Did you have to put in work for fear of your life? Don't be a dick! Regardless of what you saw you were not living it! I didn't even get into the prison stories and you already are making assumptions about county stories that it was my fault that I was abused by people like you!

We both have POV's of prison..........my stories are mine.....no one elses.....were looking at the same place from different angles. There's some asshole staff in prison, and some real asshole inmates.....I've seen both...I'm telling the story from a staff point of view...

Sorry to rant, but really you have no idea! Some people are assholes period! Doesn't give the next gaurd the right to beat someone to death! It happens all the time especially when I was at in county! Then they get off for murder, Prison guards and inmates do have a bit more of mutual respect to some degree than county but either way assholes are everywhere and it's tuff to have the right people in the position of authority! They want more screening for guns but I think law enforcement correctional officers and politicians need the ringer just as hard! your angle and perspective are formed from your experience! I get it but please don't assume i was the asshole that day!

This is a great thread (previous name calling aside). Very interesting to be able to get both an inmate POV and an employee POV...I can't speak from either side but props to everyone that has posted a story or experience...that can not be an easy thing to re live on a forum

Yes, it's a very touchy subject for someone who was mistreated and lost years of their life to an archaic system ran by steroidal dick heads! If I put a number on it 4/5 are dickheads!

I just remember getting sentenced and hearing my wife and daughter crying in the courtroom. It's the worst fucking feeling that I have ever experienced. I couldn't cry because I had to go down to lockup and wait for my ride to jail. This terrifying wave of regret washes over you that makes you want to die. I didn't know what would happen, I had never been locked up and I thought what it would be like to not have contact with the people I loved for a very longtime.

You get to jail and you can smell the harshness of the place. Terrible colored walls that drive you insane, nasty ass artificial lighting, Every holding cell's toilet is clogged, scratched plexiglass and just grim.

Go into processing and it's one holding cell after another. They cuff your hands and feet and take you to another cell while they process you. You get strip searched, take a shower with some kind of poison that kills any bugs you might have and then you sit and wait. You get your goody bag, "pillow,"blanket and we're off to the races.

Next is the walk of shame. You get brought into your "pod" and everyone is screaming at you. I was in a level 4 so the cells have door not bars and you are locked down 23hrs (if there weren't any problems. I was scared shitless!!

For my first fucking cellmate they put me in with a dude who already has 5 years under his belt. I had no clue what to do. Boom they shut the door behind me and that was that. He tells me where to stow my stuff and I sat on the bottom bunk. And sat there and sat there and sat there. My celly was actually just very intimidating. He started telling me about cell edicate.

It takes a long time to learn how to sleep when you are locked up. They are always popping the locks on the doors which wakes you up, the co's shine a flashlight on you every 15 mins, bunk beds suck, your mind is racing, your depressed, you can't shit and on and on.I spent my first week sleeping. I would get up to "eat" and went back to sleep. I couldn't fucking deal with it my world was falling apart.

I'll pick this up later if you folks are interested. I don't like rehashing this shit but if people want to know what it's really like, well people are talking about the real deal and not what you see on tv. LOL. Great thread though but I found it hard to have to think about this in great detail. Not very comfortable to think about.
OK let's try this......You wake up tomorrow & suddenly you in charge of the POD, all the inmates & all the staff are your responsiblilty, everything that happens, you will answer for it!...Because of these "hard on crime" assholes there's 2 times as many inmates as the place was designed for. Due to budget cuts, you have 70% staff & everyone is working 12hr shifts, 6 days a week.....forced!......your just trying to feed your wife & daughter, & this is the best job you could find......well, this was me after 1 week orientation......

I can't argu with a single word of that.........I think that 4/5 applies across the board...inmates included......The reason is....nice people don't stay in prison if they don't have too. Prison's not a nice place, if they can get out, they do. Pretty soon only us dickheads are left.....I guess we deserve each other lol!

Fuck prison and everything that happens there............it is an old system that needs to be rethought.......nothing like having to clean up an aborted baby off the holding cell floor.....
