My expeirence in jail

When i first got to the Lake County jail i was finger printed on this new automatic machine. Then i waited in the bullpen(processing room). This is when you wait to get ur bracelet with ur picture and bar code on it. After finally being put in a cell all by myself, all i herd in the cell was the air blowing through the went. One i was in the cell by myself around 12 pm just like the guy in the show we watched i couldn't sleep no matter how i lay there. It was also freezing in the cell and the blanket was thinner then my shirt, this made it a lot harder to sleep too. Since i couldnt sleep i thought about a lot things. i thought about all the people i have hurt especially my mother. In my head i kept on saying to myself that how dumb i was to get into what i was doing. I had thoughts of things just racing through my head, i couldnt even control it. The last thing is that the food was probably just as bad as picking out of the garbage. The most interesting thing that i saw during that day and a half period was in the holding cell where a homeless man was so happy to be in jail. while in the holding cell he told me "tonight i am going to sleep like a baby". The whole expeirence of those two days made me a whole new person and the way i think of life.

    i think it is really commendable how you are willing to show your experience and how it affected you mentally and physically. It is kind of sad how a homeless man was excited to be in jail, because it shows how people actually do have nothing.

    Very interesting. It seems like it was a changing experience for you! I would be freaked to go to jail.

    I wouldn't be able to survive in jail. Watching 30 days today really showed me how life changing jail can be. It is really sad that the homeless man was excited to be in jail while you were absolutely miserable. Good job getting your life back together Jimmy it's important that you learned from your mistake!

    thanks for sharing - be careful of the spelling though, it can be distracting (heard, vent, your I)
