Should I turn down misdemeanor probation?

[quincy]

All bologna is pretty gross. I'll make a few BLT's, some strawberries, Spring water, and a sour cream coffee cake... sans metal file.

Sorry to be the one to alter your image of jail but ... you will be feeding BLTs and strawberries to the jail officers and you will be eating bologna.

Oh, pooh! Well...I just won't go then!

Wise decision.

I agree but the OP specifically asked.

Does anybody know if the jail record makes it worse in the long term?

I agree but the OP specifically asked.

I think that the question was answered before we detoured into stealth’s criminal past and Blue’s contemplation of a criminal future. Haha.

Pack your own bologna sandwich. Jail bologna is not good.

That might not be the best idea. You can get in trouble in Mass for bringing unauthorized bologna into a jail.

Bologna might be easier to smuggle in than BLTs and strawberries or hacksaw but, in case you didn’t guess, my post was not to be taken seriously.

Joey on Friends found a way to smuggle bologna that would have worked but I don't think it would work for Blue.

As someone that reads a LOT of background checks, I will say that the multiple misdemeanors will pull more attention than 15 days worth of jail time on one of them.

.

Yeah, in so many words that’s pretty much what lawyr said. Look, I’m not proud of the last couple of years but no felonies or stuff and I really don’t think
I’m evil. If jail itself isn’t worse on the background report (which was my question), maybe a couple weeks in there I can use to straighten up. I told him I’d think about it and call him Tues. Leaning toward the 15 days right now, as the probation rules they want are BAD. it’s just that Stealth2, my atty and a couple guys who have been to County here all say it’s totally not a nice place, and worse than the pd where I spent that 1 night. I still think I can handle myself, but will think about it. Thanks, people.

I haven’t seen too many of the Friends episodes. Definitely don’t remember seeing that one.

 

[ThinkingOfServingItOut]

Might as well take jail and get used to it. At the rate you're going (3 crimes in two years) it won't be the last time.

I am really going to try to make it the last arrest!

It is not exactly an easy decision for you to make but at least you are given a choice. Many aren’t.

And if Felicity Huffman can survive prison, you probably can survive some days in jail.

I recommend you rely on your attorney’s advice and direction.

Short version. Joey had a tryout for a big movie that included a nude scene and with a director that was known to be very picky on realism. The character was supposed to not be circumcised, he was. Monica made several prosthetics (bologna being the winner) and hilarity ensued.

Was this arrest, your third at least, planned?

Ahh. I can see how hilarity would ensue.

I probably won’t make a point of searching out that episode. Haha.
