Never close. Took a tour of our county jail years ago. Nothing like hearing the giant bolts of the main door sliding to their locked positions. I did receive a marriage proposal in the women's wing.

I've had two brushes with the law. My first was my Junior year at OU. I was 20 and went to an 18 and up bar (The Dugout) to hear a band. I took a couple sips of my sisters beer. 45 minutes later I was handcuffed by an undercover cop stating I was drinking underage. I completely forgot that I had even drank in the bar because I was taking extra precautions not to get busted before my 21st. They handcuffed me to my sister and dragged us down Court Street to the popo station. they took our statements and let us go.

The other time was in high school. My buddies and I played a little prank on my neighbors when my parents were out of town one weekend. The cops show up at my door the next morning asking me if I saw anything. I said that I hadn't and then he asked where my parents were. When I told them they were out of town I could have sworn I was gonna get cuffed right there. Fortunately for me, he left and never came back.

interesting question. the answer is "sort of". when i was 5 i stole a 6 pack of chewing gum. stupid me opened the gum in the parking lot as my mother and i were leaving. as you might expect mother demanded to know where i got the gum. apparently my "i bought it" response wasn't overly believeable. she drug me back into the store and made me admit to the cashier that i stole it. well, the nice lady behind the counter told me that since i had admitted it i could keep the gum. unfortunately this wasn't the response my mother was looking for. she immediately demanded to see the manager who after hearing the story sidded with the cashier. he informed us that there was little he could, or for that matter was willing, to do to a 5 yr old over the theft of a pack of gum. at this point im thinkin im in good shape here. the reality however... not so much. this was the begining of the end for lil ol me. off we went to a pay phone where she called the police. 10 minutes later i was handcuffed, put in the back of a cruiser and taken to jail where i was finger printed and mug shots were taken. i don't remember exactly what time i was placed in jail. but i do recall i was served two meals, atleast 1 shift change took place, and that it was very late at night when my dad showed up to pick me up. i would venture to guess i spent a little over 12 hours in lock up. the shitty part is i didn't even get to keep the gum.

I spent a night in Orange County, CA's jail over a traffic violation. The story isn't all that, really. My girlfriend at the time bailed me out the next day -- she was a social worker in Los Angeles, and all of her black and latino co-workers were having fun with her because they had to explain to the "little white girl" how to her boyfriend out of county. At least I helped out her reputation around the office.

The cell was actually okay. Bigger than my freshman dorm room at OU and the bed was about as uncomfortable.

Almost for destruction of property. I was sitting with a few of my friends on the curb next to a lady's drive way. We were tossing loose chips of concrete across the road, that had chipped off the driveway and curb.

The lady claimed that we were tearing up her drive way.

Which we weren't, the rocks/chips were already loose and all over the place. She told us to leave or she would call the cops. We decided not to argue with the lady and to just leave.

So about 45 minutes later I get a knock on my front door. The lady actually called the cops.

I told the officer the story. He told the lady that by looking at the drive way, that he could not tell if it was prior damage or not. He said under the circumstances, he could not do anything.

I'm not sure if that would constitute "Jail Time", but that is about the closest brush with law I've ever had.

Ive done a 30 day bid, and a 60 day bid in the licking county jail, and I must say, for jail, its a cool place.

You get Ping Pong, all the board games, TV, get to go outside, smokes, Illegal smokes, free juice, get to buy about anything you could want in jail.

Its funny that the county jail is nicer then some of my friends place.

I did a bit of time in juvenile hall in Cleveland. A kid tried to mug me on East 103rd. I knocked the knife out of his hand, knocked him out and then rubbed his face across the sidewalk until most of the skin on one side of his face was rubbed off. The judge said that was excessive and went beyond self defense. Damn Liberals!!!

I dragged the NextMrs.Rugby to the Dekalb County, GA (not IL) jail on Xmas to visit a client between visits to my mom's and aunt's houses. Not quite as bad as taking a date to the Cuban prison riot at the AtlFedPen in 1987. :biggrin: Chicks dig penal trips.

I took my customer's to the French Quarter every year when selling software.
Saw a lot of boobs exposed, no problem. Had one male customer drop his pants. I bailed his ass out after a long night. There is a lesson there my buckeye friends.

Central lock up is not nice in NOLA.
