this post is too long. The title alone sucked me in I'll admit, as though doing time now is some sort of decline from America's Golden Age of Imprisonment, whenever that was.
I just think it's funny and a little overwrought that being locked down in an American prison is only now gaining notice in the mainstream.
Being in prison is and has been a horrible life-threatening experience experienced by both the imprisoned and their day-to-day immediate captors/supervisors.
Those who are actually innocent of the charges brought against them are particularly vulnerable jail-house intimidation.
This post is just another observation of how easy it is now for the Government totally controls you, once they get custody.
I beg you, please learn from my mistake, don't run afoul of the IRS asset forfeiture provisions in the Federal tax codes. Your own state may also have such duplicative and punitive provisions in their codes, so by all means, exercise due caution when traveling.
How I wish I knew then what I know now!
