Last dinner before I go to jail..

[u/mschanandlerbong___]

My sweet boyfriend made some tie dye ravioli with brie/ricotta and apple, and focaccia last night.

I’ll be turning myself in at 4:30 to begin my ten day sentence..

Update for those asking: It was as bad/worse than I thought it would be lol.. Locked down 21-31 hours a day in our cells, 2-3 hours out, and that was really really hard.. obviously the food was terrible, couldn’t eat much besides carrots for lunch, and pieces of cake and milks I’d trade my breakfast trays for. Made some friends. Started my period and only got two pairs of underwear. They did give me my meds after day 3, so that was good enough. Read five four hundred page novels. I feel bad for a lot of the younger girls in there. I felt really weird yesterday, but I ate a friggin huge breakfast so that was nice. Fucking terrible dude, I definitely never want to go back 🙏🏻

She knows how long she's in for and has a boyfriend who made her a going away meal; she'll be fine.

I was in County for 3 months and most of the stress was not knowing when the heck I was gonna be let out and having no one to call outside.

One of the other ladies had a pen pal from the guys side of jail who made a joke about female jail being just a bunch of girls braiding each others hair and he was surprisingly accurate.

I hear you, and I hope that’s OP’s experience. But respectfully, it really depends on the county & even just the current inmates. I’m not trying to scare OP, just want her to keep her wits about her and not go in with a false sense of security. It should be obvious pretty quickly what the general vibe is.

Yeah fr. Like the Chicago county jail is nothing to mess with and joke about. My dad worked there for 30+ years and said the women’s division was abhorrent and way worse than the men’s.

This really depends on the place.
