    How much prison time have you served in state and federal prisons, if I may ask?

    Forgive me for asking, it’s just to judge how much direct experience you have with what you’re claiming to be knowledgeable on.

    There are sadly a lot of people in the Internet who would say such things without ever having actually experienced them firsthand, and it’s important we educate ourselves on the difference. Thanks!

      Not going to go into to detail as this is a public forum but I have years of experience, yes.

      I think calling it “hell” is a bit silly. It’s only hell if you are a loud mouth idiot who can’t stop getting into drama. Is being out with a good job better, yes. But TV and the news dramatize it drastically. You basically sit around and read / watch TV most of the time in medium security. I think most people would be surprised how much less terrible it is than it’s hyped to be. If I had to choose prison or being incredibly poor / homeless - I’d choose prison.
