*Subject: Prison vs. Work
*
Just in case you ever get these two environments mixed up, this
should make things a little bit clearer.
*
@ PRISON -* you spend the majority of your time in a 10X10 cell*
@ WORK -* you spend the majority of your time in an 8X8 cubicle*
@ PRISON -* you get three meals a day fully paid for you
*@ WORK -* you get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it*
@ PRISON -* you get time off for good behavior*
@ WORK -* you get more work for good behavior*
@ PRISON -* the guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you*
@ WORK -* you must often carry a security card and open all the doors
for yourself*
@ PRISON -* you can watch TV and play games*
@ WORK -* you could get fired for watching TV and playing games*
@ PRISON -* you get your own toilet*
@ WORK -* you have to share the toilet with some people who pee on
the seat*
@ PRISON -* they allow your family and friends to visit*
@ WORK -* you aren't even supposed to speak to your family*
@ PRISON -* all expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work required*
@ WORK -* you get to pay all your expenses to go to work, and they
deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners*
@ PRISON -* you spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out*
@ WORK -* you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go
inside bars*
@ PRISON -* you must deal with sadistic wardens*
@ WORK -* they are called managers*
THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE!!!!*
Now get back to work. You're not getting paid to check emails.0 -
Prison sucks. Especially if you work there. 0 -
Ah, but in prison you also get free lovin' from the tender ministrations of a 300 pound (all muscle) man named Bubba. That negates any advantage. 0 -

You forgot that Bubba is all hairy and has three teeth, none of which are his own.0 -
The prison pay is not so good and the food is lousy.[:0][:0] 0 -

10x10 = 100 square feet
5x5 = 25 square feet x 2 people = 50 square feet, but you have 100 square feet total.
In other words, you each have 5x10 or 6x8.33 or some other factor that equals 50, not 25. [:D]
Quit whining, and get back to work. [:D]0 -

You don't know anything. At work, even multiplication is stingy.0 -

I was in jail for 34 months. But only 8 hours at a time.
Does that count?0 -

The second one will be a breeze compared to the first.0 -
Several years ago I spent 24 hours in the county lock-up. I had to make a reservation to do it (and my first three choices for dates were unavailable....it's easier to get a hotel than to get into jail around here). When I checked myself in I met a guy coming out who told me that I was about to enter the finest county jail I would ever see. I thanked him for the information but thought to myself that he could have said that about any jail on the planet....because I'm not putting myself in a position to go back!
It was not a terrible experience, probably because it was a 'nice' jail. I have no point of comparison, but I do have the word of that inmate who left as I arrived, and also the word of my probation officer, who told me he thought of our county jail as "a hotel." The food sucked. The bed sucked. The hourly check all through the night (when a guard comes through and shines a light on you to make sure you're still there) sucked. The boredom sucked--and I was only there for 24 hours. But there was a TV, there was a weight bench, there were magazines and books, the place was mostly clean and most importantly, I didn't fear for my safety.
There's a difference between jail and prison. I think prison is designed to keep criminals away from the rest of society, and I don't think it accomplishes anything positive beyond that. I think jail is designed both to serve as a wake-up call to some folks (like me) who need it, and also to punish those same folks who might have transgressed some cultural norm.
In retrospect I'll say that my 24 hours in jail were valuable to me and also to society (that's good, because I only paid a $10 booking fee, and I'm sure it cost the state at least a couple hundred dollars to keep me there for the night). If nothing else, I know to conduct myself in such a fashion that I will NEVER get myself into lockup again.0 -
When i was in my D license class(taught by a retired LEO)he explained to me that jails in florida are for people who are serving less than one year, and prison was for people who had to serve more than one year. Any other D lisencees here? 0 -

I don't know what a D license is but I think it's pretty standard across the USA that jail is for those who are serving less than a year and prison is for everybody else.....then again, there was a guy in the jail I was in who was doing four years. I don't know what to make of that.0 -
D License= Security Officer License!
G License=License to carry a gun on duty as a Security Officer! And in FL you can only carry a 9mm, or .38 revolver, or .357 revolver with 38 loads. -dave-0 -
Ok, so G sounds like it stands for "gun." What does "D" stand for?
There are a number of smartass come-backs that come to mind but I appreciate the info and am curious about the answer to the question I've just posed.0
