My Voluntary 48 Hours in Jail

By Inmate 104517

I self-surrendered to a weekend in jail several weeks ago at a place called F22.

I arrived at the facility and could not find a place to park. I was supposed to be there by 1000. The guards were awaiting my arrival. Of course, my Business Partner called me as I was circling the parking lot looking for a place to park. I stopped and pulled out my laptop and logged in to check on a case I was working on. More on this later.

A guard approached my vehicle and saw I was working and graciously asked me how much longer I would be. Since I had yet to find a parking place, he offered to move the Prisoner Transport Van and said I could park there. He moved the van and I parked. I finished my business and entered the lobby of the jail as directed.

Several minutes went by, I was still wondering if I had made the right decision to be there. I had the same question days before as well during my nine-hour drive to the facility. I kept telling myself, “You’ve already paid for the experience, you are here, you will proceed with the experience.”

60 Hours – Part 04

Sunday – Day 3

I slept even worse that night, I woke up to the sound of a guard coming into the block shining his light, they must have done their rounds that night. Waking up and not knowing what time it was isn’t an easy thing to adapt to, I tried to look out the window to see if I could see any sunlight but at last there was nothing. The bars on the cell cast a nice shadow against the wall, something so photogenic and calming really painted a beautiful picture.

Eventually, the courtesy lights came on and that was the sign that it was morning, I got up as I did the past two days without making my bed. The same guard who did the morning check the past two mornings comes in, “good morning inmate” with a look of disgust, knowing he was a part of the brawl last night, “how did you sleep?” “I slept fine” I replied, “great” drop your sheets on the group, fold your blanket, and be ready for breakfast soon.
