  • @partin1970 I also did three days a couple of years ago. I was arrested for possession of marijuana with intent to deliver. All I had was a joint and a scale, but they still put me in danger of getting raped. Take care man.

  • @UniverseOffspring that's a common misconception. It happens but you gotta want it to. No one bothered me hardly at all. The three to a cell was the worst I have ever been treated I really felt like an animal. No shower, and just a sack lunch. But hey, you do the crime... you better be able to do the time. I let time serve me, I talked to people, listened to their stories, their hopes, and dreams. Over all I chose to make the best of it. The character I gained was worth every day I spent there.

  • @partin1970 That sucks man, I hope you made it in one piece, with your anus intact. You didn't get raped right?

  • I spent almost 2 weeks in a 5x9 cell with 2 other inmates I slept on the floor in front of the toilet. I almost lost touch w/ reality, broke out in hives ect. we were 3 to a cell because of hurricanes in TX in 08. Though I had a non violent crime, I was repeatedly celled up with violent criminals, one with multiple life sentences. Don't go to prison in Texas.

  • @Haseeb2 inter-prisoner violence or just let it happen is more brutal than the risk of self harm and suicide what happens in solitary

  • If what he showed in the video of the triple bunk beds is inhumane, then what is being locked in a cell? The sensory deprivation and humiliation of being locked in a cell is more inhumane than a crowed gym full of bunk beds.
