Just hearing these stories makes me want to never touch weed again.

I heard that if you threaten to kill yourself they will send you to K-1, which is supposed to be like a jail for the suicidal. Thats the case in Wisconsin, anyways. I guess its supposed to be like solitary confinment or something, which would be much better than the alternative.
The CO's (we got in trouble if we called them guards) were outnumbered in our prison like 1 co for every 100 inmates...they could care less...most think we all are nothing in there anyway...consider the type of person that applies for a job such as a correctional officer...most are mentally deranged from the get go...there is no safety from a co in the prison I was at. Google Julia Tutwiler in Wetumpka,Alabama and read for yourself about all the deaths....thats when the feds stepped in. Right now I believe there are like 1,400 women in a prison that was built in 1940 for 350...not a nice enviroment. Google about Julia and you will see Alabamas form of justice. Thats why I try and tell my experience because some of these young people think it's cool and they are tough...it's not and honestly it could even kill you.
