Prison time

Anyone here serve any time? Did you go federal or state? What were you charged with/ convicted of/ pleaded to? Do you think prison changed you for the better or worse? How long were you sentenced to? What made your time go by easier?

Typical America hater has to inject his hate for America in every post whether it's relevant or not.

The 3 members here off the top of my head that I know have done some pretty serious time in prison rarely talk about it, and I don't blame them. I don't think you'll get many personal responses in this thread.
I have a few friends that have served time ranging from 2-8 years if you want to hear some stories about what they did...

I have never observed any other people worldwide that consistantly and continually make specific references to there own country while excluding everyone else on global non country specific forums. Do americans simply just not know there are other countries out there? or are you just so self centred that you have to always talk about yourselves.

We know there are other countries, but none of those countries really matter, so we don't waste a lot of time talking about their silly problems.

You can tell stories about prisons in your country if you wish. I wasnt excluding anyone, I was just specifically interested in American prisons.

Maybe he was looking for information that is relevant to him.. Maybe he might be going to prison or knows someone who is and wants to ask what it's like in American prison and prisons in other parts of the world are completely irrelevant to his reasoning for asking. Maybe you should stop having such a stick up your ass about America.

Maybe nobody gives a fuck about other countries outside their own? I know I don't.

I did 5 days in jail when I was 19. That's wimpy shit.
Was taken to a jail in Thailand for 'trespassing' once. That was some crazy shit there. There was no electric or running water and it was in abysmal shape. It was like those 1 out of 10 Thai people that ask you for money in the street all in one place. They released me a few hours later without charges though.

Yea I figured most people would be like that. Most people don't talk about stuff like that at random. I dont really blame them.
The only truly terrible stories ive heard about in prison were on rats,cops,rapists,some murderers and or in maximum securities. It seems like for the average lower classification prisoner time is boring as fuck a few fights here and there but way more bearable.

When I was 18 I went to bootcamp for 8 weeks. And I sat in jail for 7 days until the program started. Jail was really boring. You will lose a lot of weight as your last meal is at 5pm leaving you starving rest of day (breakfast: 5am, lunch: 11am, dinner: 5pm).

Why are Americans the only ones with a sense of humor about other countries? When did the Western Countries get so pucker lipped about attacking other Western Countries?
I see that it keeps us on our toes and open to change, all well and good. But, US, UK, AU, most of the EU and CAN have waaaay more in common than the rest of the world.
Stick together, our 'liberal' policies of helping the poor and disenfranchised (compared to the rest of the world) is one of our defining hallmarks, etc etc.
I know a few people that have done some time, mostly county. Spent a month in county as well. Wasn't fun. The other people are the worst part of it.

Georgia did start out as one though. That is up for debate. A more exact term would be a debtors colony.

No we were not taught that in school. I heard it somewhere and decided to look it up because i thought it would be pretty funny if true. And not all of australia had prison colonies. Large potions of land was given to free citizens that sailed out on there own free will. South australia had no prison colonies at all
Ok maybe not a prison colony but the english and the french did build prisons in America and send there prisoners to these prison.

If you're not on the UN Security Council, you don't matter. If you don't have nukes, you don't matter. If you still worship the queen, you don't matter.
The only things Australia has provided worth noting in the last 100 years is the crocodile hunter, crocodile Dundee, and changa.

All countries crumble. It isn't about the country. It is about the people within that country. The American people have created a great nation, and when that nation fails, as all nations do, they'll rise above and create another great nation.
