didn’t even know there was a warrant from a ticket i got 6 months ago. 2 days in county. they kept me for a day after the judge ordered my release. said I “slipped through the cracks”
for expired tags. stripped searched, kept in holding alone all night with nothing but a concrete slab to sleep on and a combined toilet / water fountain. they took my fingerprints, scanned my eyes, made me undress in front of them again, put me in a block, and made me wait. they didn’t give me a phone account to call on, didn’t give a fuck, and lost me in their system.
for expired license tags
I knew prison sucked, I’ve hated cops for longer than I can remember, but the cruelty first hand of this system will stick with me forever, and I was only there two days. nothing can communicate what prison is other than being there. it is just a torture facility, nothing else.
i only got out because of DSA comrades annoying them on outside, otherwise I would probably have been in there at least another day.
fuck 12
I have known a few corrections officers that were just milking the clock in one of the few ways a person can to get by. They talked about trying to treat their charges well and just keep their heads down. Still bastwards for not burning the place down but what can you do
I admit that I only knew one. He was a family friend that had some very shitty tendencies. He stopped being a prison guard some time after he apparently got the shit kicked out of him by some inmates. When I learned about it I said “probably deserved it”
