Hello everone,
I do not know and do not care if you remember me, however I want to ask a stupid question in a stupid place, since I do not know where this question may "officially" belong on this forum, however here is my question nonetheless...
What is jail really like in the state of Oregon? AND/OR What is jail really like in general?
I know it may sound like a "stupid" question, but I ask because I saw on something like the Discovery Channel a documentary looking inside a county jail, specifically for the mentally disturbed, NOT MENTALLY INSANE! I mean, as far as I could tell, from the documentary and the inmate's point of views and opinions, THEY ARE SANE, however committed crimes and the populace is thus mixed with reasonable SANE and SOME with specific DISABILITIES. For example, one of the inmates was so SANE and HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, ex-car salesman, yeah, go figure, anywho, he managed to convince the jail staff, AND the jail counselor, to let him go ahead of his release date, by forging some forms, talking around, and so forth. However, some of the inmates need help on a daily basis, and some still need help reading, because they can not read and so forth past an elementary level. So, yeah, it sounds like a mix of inmates to me. Some are as mean as those in PRISON, however, and they are locked up in a special block, at the same jail, so...please let me know if this all sounds adequate to you, to tell me, to give me an answer please. I want to know if this sounds legitimate, if this is what I would go to, if I went to jail, or something like it, I mean, this does sound like a special facility, however are most jails like this, especially in Oregon, because I can assume PRISON is worse, is that correct too? In fact, the jail looked kind of nice, I mean, think about it, you commit a petty crime, end up five years in a "nice place", a "nice jail cell", with food, clothes, people who "take care of you", and so forth. So, what is exactly accurate to my answer? Please let me know. Thank you all very much.
