I thought I was done talking about jail. I was sure I was. I happened to watch an episode of "Cell Block 6". A very good friend of mine had mentioned it to me in the past. She asked if what was shown was true.
Ok so Jail, the untold story.
Inmates are VERY industrious.
Why?, you ask? Let me explain. In my time, "on the inside", I learned how to make two "jail tampons" from one maxi pad. OK, I must explain. So for example, in Racine, and Kenosha County, pads were given...no tampons. They were not the "Always light, with wings", they were the big gross pillow pads. I was schooled on how to make two tampons out of one pad. It is a bit too hard to explain writing...but so ingenious. Actually, impressive.
If you watch "Cell block 6", yes the inmates actually use colored pencils for make-up. Just so ya know the bricks, and tile, make an excellent pencil sharpening station.
The inmates, create food from the vending machines. One thing is called an inmate taco/burrito. I must say I did never sample it. Apparently, it is a number of chips from the vending machine, some beef jerky, and what ever else that could be found. Most jails do not have microwaves, so they would put this mix on a heater. Like I said, I never tried it.
When I was in Racine County Jail...the one with the sink, toilet combo...yeah that one. There was a bend in the pipe just before the toilet. The bend perfectly fit a bottle of soda. The pipe was cold...and kept the soda cold.
Every jail I was in, we ALWAYS had chores. Yes, ppl were bought off to do chores. There were trades, like money, or commissary, for doing an other's chores. I NEVER did that. I would rather clean the bathroom.
Yes, in every experience there were lesbian issues. Again, never an issue for me. Just so ya know...it was never forced, never a problem. Those that did, did. It was never a forced thing.
I think that is all of the jail secrets I can think of at the moment..I am sure there are more.
If you have any questions please contact me. I am always willing to talk.
At this time, I will put this subject to rest.

What about the sock-elasatic dental floss?
Ahh, I have been reminded about the sock, underwear elastic. The elastic from the jail provided sock, and undies make great dental floss, as well as hair ties.
The down side was to be the next one issued the socks, and undies with no elastic.
