The Prison Thread. Where A2Kers go to discuss jail time.

HAHAHAHA! I laugh at prison!

I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but I do seem to recall having had a transgression many, many years ago, probably 1966. A friend and I were trying to help out another friend by taking her garbage to the dump, so we ... <ahem> ... loaded up our red VW Microbus, and headed off to the dump. But as I recall this was around Thanksgiving time, and the dump was closed. But as we headed off the side of a side road, we saw a large pile of garbage at the bottom of a cliff, and deciding that one big pile was better than two little piles, we threw our garbage on top of the other pile.

I guess they found my name on an envelope at the bottom of the pile, because the police called the next day and made us go down to the police station, where we was both immediately arrested - handcuffed. I seem to recall they took my wallet and my belt before they put me in the cell. We were bailed out by our friend -- I forget her name, but I do remember she owned a restaurant and lived in a church -- and we went to court the next day for our arraignment.

There is a happy end to this story. As it turns out, the judge was blind, so he couldn't look at the evidence against me-- and there was a lot of it. So I was only fined $50 and had to pick up the garbage in the snow. That was my only run-in with the Man.

Gus, you like 14 yr olds?

My advice: Don't visit Ohio. The S.O.L. has probably been tolled during this period you've been absconding.

I've spent 7 hours/day for six weeks in a high securiyt prison.

My crime was that I found an old administration by-law, which allows probation officers to work for six weeks in other juridical institutions as well.
(They gave me keys, but that by-law was changed soon after.)

The dozens of other times, I've been in prison, I got well payed for the time I stayed there.

How much? 1 DM (Deutsche Mark) an hour for making license plates?

No, 32 DM for 45min ... talking and such. :wink:

That'd be a hoot to get busted there 30 years later...almost worth it just for the good party story...somehow though, I feel like I've escaped the most wanted list by the skin of my teeth...

heehee, oopsie.

You can't get arrested for plagiarizing Alice's Restaurant on a forum like this.

You folks are funny.

I ran a stop sign and almost hit a mail jeep during my driving test at the age of 16.

But, I didn't get arrested.

I didn't put enough money in the meter when I was 17, so I had to pay a 50 cent fine, but i didn't get arrested.

I got a 70 in a 60 ticket several years later. Went to court. didn't know what to do since I'd never been in court before, so I just said, yes ma'am, I was doing 60 in a 70. I paid $270, but I didn't get arrested.

Shortly after that I met that HOT officer mentioned earlier in this thread. When I pointed out to him that we were breaking the law by being naked in the hot tub out in plain view of the public... He arrested me.

four hours in the drunk tank, for being drunk and disorderly in public

Most I was held for was the night at the police station - for nicking traffic signs. And I was in just a few hours for dodging tram fare and giving a false name when checked

Oh wait I was also in an airport jail in Tirana

I do hope you're talking about wine.

This thread is about past imprisonment, not future.

Ok guys, be careful. Talking about banging 14 year olds isn't cool.

Unless you're in a run down village in Thailand.

or mississippi

In the 60's, I could out run the cops who were after us for possession. Dys, on the other hand, was arrested in Mississippi during the 60's because it was a crime to drive after dark with a "negro" in the car.

How the hell was I supposed to know she was fourteen?

I know, I know...... tell it to the judge.

That was you? I knew you looked familiar...
