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 a family member who quit his job as a correctional officer after just a few months due to how his colleagues were treating the inmates. He went to work at a homeless shelter instead and became a pillar of the community to the point of being the only one to manage a rapport with some of the addicts and what not 😎
