These stories you tell are strangely mesmerizing. Any more?

I made friends with a "helper" (I forgot the correct prison term). A helper is a non-violent inmate who has gained the trust of the deputies. As a result, they get a lot more freedom and they serve the food to the people in the cells. He would always give me extra food. As you can imagine the food was terrible. In the mornings you would get peanut butter, bread, cereal, milk, and an apple. In the afternoon you would get peanut butter, bread, cereal, milk, and an apple. For dinner we got hot food. The hot food was crap too, but in comparison to everything we would get prior to that, it tasted damn good. Sometimes we would get an "orange flavored drink". That's what it actually said on the carton and it reminded me of the "malk" Simpsons episode. After a while I stopped eating the peanut butter because it was crap and I swear it came out undigested. So, I always traded it for a fruit or juice.

I was also the only one who took showers there. I took two daily because they never give you clean clothes.

The whole time I was there, I didn't get much sleep. There was no clock and nothing to read. The only thing I would look forward to was when we got our food because they would let us get out of our cells for about an hour to an hour and half. I figured out when it came close to food time based on the position of the sun and how dark it was outside. We all used the free time we got to trade comical stories. That was pretty much the only form of entertainment we had. I was surprised at the number of people who were there for domestic abuse.

oh, and they always had the AC in full blast. It was so damn cold in the cell that I that I had to use the sheet they give to cover the mattress (it wasn't really a mattress, more like yoga/gym mat) as a blanket.

If you guys want to know anything specific about the "prison life", let me know.

Edit: I was in the Twin Towers Correctional Facility.

It is funny how everyone is insulting, but no one ever came up with the correct reason. It is a requirement for a corrections class I am taking (school related).

It is "indeterminate" because we have no idea how long it will last. It may be 2 hours or it may be 4 or 5. It really depends on how the prison is that day and the attitude of the inmates. I didn't want to reveal the name for security reasons, and that remains the truth.

For all the whiners... I do plan to update the thread with my experiences. It is pretty rare to allow independent parties to go into a violent prison (it is one of the worst in the Southeast) and actually have contact and interact with inmates. This will partially give things away, but we are going to Death Row as well (Alabama has two). I won't reveal more than that for security, and I probably should not have even said that much.

I think you all will get your money's worth when I update with the experience. It is supposed to be pretty insane.

Ok, but why did you have to be a tool and purposely hide the reason of the visit until now?

That's not valid proof. I'm still under the assumption that you raped your father, got caught and went to prison for it.

Believe what you want. Amazing that people would want to get so personal over a thread on the Internet.

http://www.nytimes.com/1991/12...n-georgia-kills-9.html

Damnit and here I was going to make a "He was delicious." joke about your father and you had to go and ruin it.
Sorry about what happened to him. 🙁

Not true.

I pm'd a Mod that it is most likely legit as you came to see me for the documentary shoot after I got out after spending time with the Sheriff that killed his predecessor.

I do have to be vague, unfortunately.

Buuuuuuuuuuull shit...

I was convicted *of* and sentenced *to* are not self damning/incriminating statements for an innocent man. This thread is lame and the OP sucks.

edit: GD it! I'm not reading through 200 posts to find out this was a lame attempt at a spider thread. I read the last page after I posted to find out that the OP is in prison on a high school field trip which is exactly what I would have said if I had caught this thread in the beginning.

So I revert back to my original statement... the OP sucks and this thread is lame.

Whatever that is, google doesn't have a result. It offers an alternative spelling, and that one's a googlewhack.

Seiken Densetsu, maybe? I loved Seiken Densetsu 3 on SNES. Good RPG.
