I used to think that if you go to jail, you deserve what you get, but after watching hundreds of videos of cops lying and arresting innocent people and planting and fabricating evidence I no longer feel this way. There are totally innocent people in jail left to the mercy of psychotic guards. There is a video now of an innocent trucker who was walking to his truck eating a muffin. He ended up cuffed, arrested, and thrown in jail.

We were on 23 hour a day lock down in almost pitch black cells.. like the hole from shawshank redemption. You couldn't see your hand in front of your face.. like being locked in a dark closet for 3 weeks.. And chow was beans and rice 3 times a day. A scoop of rice with a scoop of beans over the top. 3 times a day every single day. I'm a little guy and o was always hungry. I can't imagine how hungry the bigger bros.must have been.

They whine and cry how jail is so terrible and their rights are violated, well no s--,what about the innocent victims rights who those pieces of s-- violated?

Not trying to 'blame a victim' here, but I question WHY this fellow had a protective order against him. His attorney says it was for 'saying mean things about a judge' after not paying an attorney. Personally I think every comment below is probably dead on accurate. Some inmates are total psychopaths. Some CO's are also. So are some cops, as we all have recently witnessed. I miss the America I lived in as a child 60 and 70 years ago. But, my opinion is just the same as pretty much everyone else's who grew up in an era 180 degrees from what is is like now.
