Just on a tour. When our county finished its new jail they had an open house. Seemed pretty nice for a jail. I wonder what it looked like after being occupied for a year.

Do you have any experience or observations about jail or prison due to personal experience or watching TV shows on the subject?
I spent 5 hours in jail in Pacific Grove California for drinking a beer on public property. It was only 5 hours and it was in one the wealthiest areas of the country and it still sucked. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
