Anybody here ever been to JAIL before?

[kingfrnk]

I served many school detentions.

It was usually only for half an hour after school and I had to write lines but it's still punishment for law breaking right?

Since I've grown up I've calmed down from my wild ways and reformed.

I managed to get out, I was one of the lucky ones............

wow detention. for what being tardy to class

[Von Milash]

I'm too pretty for prison.

I got 2 suspensions and 1 first strike towards a crimimal charge this past September, my first month in high school.

In my younger days, I had a cop throw me in the tank for the night because I told him that where I had been was "none of your fucking business!"

Oddly enough I was joking with the wife about very similar last night. I have an almost otherwordly ability to skate,when Im guilty as sin, and somehow finding myslef looking at jail house doors when Im totally innocent.
In Philly there's two levels of in deep.
First the station house,Im very familiar with the confines of the Roundhouse as its called. But if you get put back in a paddywagon after you get booked in the Roundhouse,well you screwed up this time son because your mega officially in custody, and shant be leaving custody without a lawyer at best.
In a fit of what I can only in hindsight describe as Philadelphia Police humour, I hadnt done a damned thing wrong, and Im back in the paddywagon. The whole ride Im thinking WTF, because I was screaming innocent this time. I go through the full transfer and everything, right to "tattoo's,circumsized?" and getting double checked (Why do they bother asking,if theyre just going to look anyway?), only to have the warden look down at the release sheet, look up at me, and ask, "Can you think of any reason why we're holding you?"
An awnser of "No,I have no idea" and a 20 block walk later, I went back to bed

One of the only times I can remember being rousted,where I was %100 guilty, it was worth the fine. Allways remember kiddies, a well placed middle didgit costs you at least 124.73 American dollars.
So make it count

And an addendium
If your morning starts in a situation that involves a flashlight,a nightstick tapping you on the foot,the phrase "Whadda we have here?",just pull the blanket over your head and pretend to be deceased. Because the rest of your day is going to suck,and you just woke up for gods sake..
Interesting side note, the flashlights cops carry are so big,because its a secondary nightstick. You could run the things on 1 double A battery. But somehow they all seem to take 3 C batteries.
Given the choice between getting hit with the flashlight or their nightsicks, go with the nightstick,cause you get whomped with the flashlight,an unregistered .38 is going to find itself next to you rapidly cooling body.

Second add on
Why this is so funny,is because I was talking to the wife on this very topic last night.
There's some back story so wait for it
I just got a new toy,a full tattoo kit.
Im a very old school punk rocker, I saw the Clash in 82 old school.
Everyone remembers Skinheads used get their knuckles tatted all the time with Skin
And Im a smart ass by nature
So I got my knuckles tatted with PUNK, just to stick it in Skinhead faces.
And after many trips to the Roundhouse, it dawned on me,you know,you can be totally innocent,hell you can not even be charged, and find yourself in a situation where the word Punk on your knuckles does not work towards your benefit.
So I was literally working on the coverup last night.
Sarcasm and ink, rarely work towards your best interests, thankfully I was able to fix that before I found out what anal rape felt like, I mean unless you count all the years in the boxing and music industry's, where it's practically written in to the contract.

Nope. The most a police officer has said to me is stop kicking a football too hard in the local park as there was children in there.

Most scousers my age are crack obssesed gang war hoodies. Not me though. I'm a good guy.

[sourpuss]

yes

[Youngblood]

yes

probably some kinda long-haired hippy liberal protest.

Why is that Youngblood?

Your temprement on the forum never strikes me as being prone to sudden outbursts or anything.

I hit a couple of people in high school - although it was long before i did any sort of training so they were panzy shots that i'm a bit embarassed about now!

Ironically i did it right on front of a teacher once and didn't get in trouble at all because basically she was a bitch - but she never picked on me again.

The cliques that can form in high schools can easily just get out of control and i think whether or not you get punished for something like that should take into account how far you're pushed by the people who end up recieving it.

I did get plenty of detentions for boring stuff like not having my diary signed though.

Sharla,youd be amazed at how fast you can get in school suspension here in the states,it seems like I spent all of junior and senior high school there.
Ok,one time I did earn it, but it was funny why it happened.
I had a geography teacher that would have put a zombie to sleep. I mean he took a subject I was understanding easily, and made me not care. This was back when kids still collected baseball cards for no other reason but to have them(long back story,aint it?).
I got bored in class and started sneaking peaks at my cards trying to figure out who Id trade at lunch.
He took the stack of them when he caught me. Now if he'd just have given them back at the end of class, no problem,Id honestly have said he was right in hindsight. But he said I wasnt ever getting them back.
Thats when I called him an f-ing thief in the hall,right when classes where changing.
Even while the vice principle was suspending me he couldnt stop from laughing.
"Paul,Paul Paul,you cant tell a teacher to go f themselves"
"I didnt say that sir"
"Well what did you say?"
"I called him an F-ing thief"
........................
pause,under the breathe chuckle that he thought I didnt see
"Okay...regardless....................."
Meh,it was worth it in hindsight

[Sharla]

I've never heard of anyone getting suspended just for swearing here that's for sure. I think here it's one step before being completely expelled though - detentions are for everything else I guess.

It may vary a bit depending on where you go - in the remote country area school I went to as a kid there were some boys who'd get the beach ball bat over their arse if they were ever sent to the principle.

I think the threat of that kept most of us well behaved but I doubt it would happen anywhere in Australia now.
