As in arrested and given the orange suit?
I can finally say that I have thanks to me having some troubles with communication due to my asd and then my big stupid mouth.
Not going into details but a night on a concrete slab and about $300 in fines and I'd say I learned a fairly cheap lesson in humility.

I have a hard time with conversations in real time. Some people take offense to me and I have no idea what I said or did to make them angry until later.

^^^ Thanks. Did not know you have that.

Glad you didn’t get hurt or hurt someone else. Are ya doin’ ok now? Best to ya!

Stay well friend. This world doesn’t always understand folks who don’t fit the groove.

I’m sorry to hear that. I’m also sorry words alone caused a jail stay. Be well, buddy.

Haven't had the pleasure (yet); I've been fortunate to either know when to fold them or have a friend nearby to help me understand that it was time to cut and run before shit went from bad to worse.

Glad it didn't cost you too much.

Back about 1977 me and a buddy headed for S Texas to spend several weeks. We'd sold Christmas trees in Indiana and each had a couple thousand dollars and were traveling in a pick up truck camper. Crossed the border at Matamoras and started drinking about noon. A few hours later we decided to go to boystown, a few miles by cab from main part of town.

Mid afternoon and they weren't ready to start sinning yet but we were. A hooker patted me on the butt and wanted to get it on. I laughed and said later, gonna shoot pool and drink now. I had a Case XX Buffalo in my back pocket and she must have felt it because in about 5 minutes about 4 or 5 cops surrounded me and frisked me. Took the knife and kept saying is a guillotine...senor you big and strong, why you need a knife. Locked me up in the bullpen jail, basically a concrete cave with nothing in it but a turd in the corner and a piece of Baby Ruth wrapper that I surmise served as tp. My buddy had a Buck 110 in his pocket but he had a bandana over in and didn't get caught so he took a cab back to town and the main jail. I was in the pen for about 6-8 hours. I kept asking when you gonna let me out and the guard kept smiling and saying "senor, maybe 5 minutes".

Finally got hauled to the main jail after my buddy found someone who spoke english well enough to understand my predicament. They took all my money except the $5 bill hid in my boot. Wasn't but about $50 but they got it all. Went back the next day and bought a few push button stilettos and then headed the truck towards Key West.

Another good one was I was going to college in Williamsburg Ky, Cumberland College around 1972, and had been drinking at The Spot tavern in Jellico Tn. I was in the back seat of a 67 Camaro with a hot little babe and her girlfriend was driving and my pal was riding shotgun. Jellico is beer only but you could take your own whiskey as long as you kept it in a sack and bought setups from the bar. We got stopped on the exit ramp back into Williamsburg. Cop is looking through the car and sees a brown bag in my floorboard and wants to know what's in it. I figured it was my whiskey so I told him I know my rights and he couldn't see in the sack. Wrong. Straight to jail over a sack filled with empty pop cans and cig butts.

It was 88' and I was station at NAS Miramar. I spent the evening in a Tijuana jail after a federale caught me pissing in an alley on the way from one bar to another. My buddies waiting for me a mere 20 yards away wer laughing their asses off as I got hauled away. My real offense was not having more than $20 in my pocket to pay the "fine". My "buddies" bailed me out about 6 hours later. Never found TJ appealing after that and never went back.

Nope, but I have been in a drunk tank before. Also got stopped and searched for being white in the wrong neighborhood once, drug dogs and everything, so many flashing lights.

I was arrested once 16 years ago (never actual jail though). When the handcuffs were put on me and I was thrown in the back of that cruiser, I've never felt such shame. Never again; I vowed to never put myself in that position again, and praise God I haven't since.

Driving without a license in Rowlett Tx. Unpaid ticket with a bench warrant.
Was arrested and spent two hours waiting for a judge to say it wasn’t worth keeping me locked up.
Paid the unpaid ticket and new ticket and went in my way.

Yup , and I'll leave it at that.

Ten of us got swooped up by the SP’s in GTMO. Got taken to the brig and they had us all in one room until The skipper came to get us all and we had to leave port immediately...as in the frog marched us to the pier and we cast off lines and sailed! Right then.

We were all blotto and we had stumbled into some secure or off limits area near the fencing..

Skipper was trashed too, they had to go get him from the O club, and he was none too happy about that.

Me and two friends were in Vegas for a bachelor party. We got arrested for stealing a cop car. We were looking for a fourth friend we couldn’t find.

I spent some time at Rahway State prison in NJ. The Lifer area. I didn't care for it.

Took juvenile offenders there for the Scared Straight program. It was a good program. Never had a kid make it home without throwing up. Never saw another of them "officially" either.

We left everything at the Guards station, from gun and cuffs, to ID and pens. I always hoped they would put off the next riot until I'd left for the day.

Could NOT imagine doing hard time.

I've heard of something similar. You should have checked the roof.
