I spent time in county (drinking and driving way too much), none of the shit that happens on /tv/ - television & film happened that I could see. Most insane shit was a kid had to be shipped off because they fucked up where he was supposed to go (he heard voices and that's why he stabbed those people, he went to the psych hospital). I spent most of my time playing dominos and helping people pass whatever bullshit course they were taking or helping them with the GED.
I had a pretty good time, honestly, but I live in a part of the world where blacks and whites have to team up against the mexicoids more often than not except at the state pen. County is a bit more relaxed, for obvious reasons. I can't recall there ever being anyone in there for anything violent.
>allow me to regale you with the story about the inmate who shit himself to death
