How Do People Survive in Jail/Prison?
Question by days_o_work: How do people survive in Jail/Prison?
I was locked up in a Michigan Jail for about 13 hours one time, not even a full day, and it nearly drove me insane. Maybe I’m just “soft” but a month in there would have driven me nuts. How do people survive in there.
Thanks for the answers.. My trip thru hell started as an arrest for felony assault which I later pleaded down to misdemeanor aggrivated assault. I basically blew my temper one day at a random stranger and apparently scared the bejesus out of him, so he promptly told the police. There was no physical contact or anything but they still ran me thru as a felony.
I NEVER want to go thru something like that again as I was facing up to 4 years of prison time if convicted on the felony, and had no idea it was going to work out the way it did. Even though my story sounded silly to my friends, the system took me pretty seriously from start to finish, and it was a scary experience…

Well, most of those people don’t have a choice so they just learn how to deal with it.

they give them things to do, like you know the zippo lighters are made by prisoners.
Who cares if they are dumb enough to wind up there?
They eventually adapt to their environment, it’s a natural mechanism within people.
On tax payers money.
You were in a holding area, Better behave from now on or off you go to the big house and I am sure you’ll be someone’s girl in a day or two after arrival.
longest i was in jail was 20 days… it’s not so bad once you get used to it. you get fed and have a place to stay.. just read books and jerk off when nobody’s looking
what’s the big deal?
I went nuts. hahahahahahahahahahahahahah
VERY CAREFULLY. DID 5 IN THE 80’S. MIND YOUR BUSINESS. DON’T INVOLVE YOURSELF WITH THE CREEPS. WATCH YOUR BACK 24/7. ATTITUDE AND RESPECT COUNT FOR ALLOT. IT DOESN’T HURT TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF THE FIRST DUDE TO GET OUT OF HAND. MAKES THE REST THINK TWICE.
If you don’t fight the system & obey the rules, you won’t end up there.
If you end up there, you can get by, if you don’t fight the system & obey the rules.
I would hope i get killed soon in jail.
get put in solitary confinement.. it’s safer..
A person is very adaptable at staying alive. I would image a prison of war camp would be much worse. Thank God some of our guys lived thru them.
to Queen Bee: Just because a persons ends up in jail does not mean they are dumb. Sometimes things happen and in a split second you have made a choice that you have to live with. Sometimes it is just a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sometimes it is just that you are poor and don’t have the money for a good lawyer. Be careful, next time it could be you that ends up being “dumb”.
my ex did 6 years. he always said..” you do the time, you don’t let the time do you.”
I did 3 1/2 months in a county jail facility & the first month WAS the most difficult for me. I thought a lot like QUEEN BEE did until I found myself in the middle of a big mess with my butt in a maximum security area for high level felony crimes where almost everyone was awaiting transfer to a state prison! It was a learning experience. I listened to what people did to get themselves put into jail & my circumstances & lifestyle were so very different than theirs. We ALL had one thing in common…we failed to listen to that little voice inside of us that says, “don’t do this!” I made a bad decision based on my lack of knowledge of the world & I learned a lot in the process. I waited & followed the rules & avoided people who wanted to fight. I cried myself to sleep & I learned how to accept life on life’s terms. In the end, the truth became known & I was told that all charges were dropped, & I was exonerated of any & all wrong doing, & I had my record cleared. It still won’t ever erase the fact that I WAS in jail. Even after being out for over 15 years, certain sounds STILL remind me of my time in jail. Electronic doors slammimg with the click of an electronic lock give me the shivers within!
