who here is been in jail or prision. What is that like?

Don't tell us what you were in for. It will presure others to the same and make this thread more shallow. Instead how long and what was it like? What did you do when you got out?

I have never been in either.

I just got out not very long ago. I did my time in the county detention center which sucks the way it worked out better than having to go to state prison. Is the worst thing . I'll describe it other than that you really want to be out and hate every single day. You think about what you did to be in there a lot if you have a conscience. And it bothers you a lot. And it just seems like the punishment is just never going to end as time goes by so slow. I served 20 and a half months of a 7 year sentence. If I look at someone wrong I will go to state prison to do the rest which is 5 years and 3 and a half months. I did my crime 20 years before I was arrested and eventually put on trial. I eventually made a plea bargain, admitted I did it which I did. It felt like my life had ended. I don't want to say why I was there. I'll just say that everyone would be upset that I didn't have to serve my full punishment. People don't understand how bad the time actually is. They think a year is like a year being free. No, it's like you've been there for 5 years. I still could go back. The rules for parole are hard to keep even if you try really hard. I think they want me to serve the rest of the time because of the circumstances of my crime.. So they'll see to it that I go back but this time to a scary ass prison that I'll have to go to if I return.
