Here in OZ, Prison is Jail (We spell Gaol). I know a couple of prison guards who worked in a super max gaol, (The worst) and the stats say that around 93% or inmates under 25 are raped. Rapings, bsahings and murders are commonplace here in Gaols apparently..

Answer 5

Wasn't there long enough to do anything but play a few hands at cards.  It's boring because if you don't have a job you have nothing to do all day (and you can well imagine what kind of  things happen when that many men with nothing better to do get together), you cant smoke, and the food is aweful.

Answer 6

No its not that bad in jail as far as violence. I have been in jail in both Florida and California. The town in Florida where I had to go to jail was Fort Pierce which has one of the worst crime rates in the country if not the highest. http://www.areaconnect.com/crime/compare... So Im pretty sure I was in one of the worst jails. Prison is different and Ive never been. Prison is where the violence and stuff is. Jail is mostly people getting out within 1 year and majority of them are for DUI's and not paying child support. The worst part about it is your lack of freedom. When you get in there for the first time, its the most frustrating thing to be locked up and not be able to walk where you want etc. The loss of freedom is very hard to take.
