I’ve seen/read plenty of media about being locked up in various types of jails and prisons. But, I’d like to hear some first hand accounts from people. How’d you pass the time, see anything rough, what country were you in, did you rehabilitate yourself, was there even opportunity to rehabilitate yourself?

    One dude was withdrawing from heroin and booze and kept having seizures, they’d just move him to a different pod with AC for a bit.

    Wtf so they were pretty much just letting him die? Alcohol withdrawals can kill you

      Yup thats how it seemed. Dude had the gnarliest dead vein running down his arm too. That jail literally doesn’t have medical facilities, I dont understand to this day why that’s legal.

      Im pretty sure he survived but it was a rough few days. I was drying out at the same time from a 0.308 BAC so I was just grateful it wasnt me =/

      That’s what it sounds like, brutal! I know alcohol withdrawal can straight up just kills you. But I’ve also heard of dehydration killing people withdrawing from opiates.
