Visiting a friend in jail.. question...

[Brutalis]

Friend is in the county jail and will be there for a while till he in sentenced on theft charges.

I am visiting him tomorrow morning and was wondering if I am allowed to bring him plain white shirts or anything?

I'm in central Arkansas, but I assume the rules are pretty basic for all jails. The website said tobacco is prohibited, why is dumb ass hell me thinks. But it didn't say anything about my question.

Anyone ever done anything of the sort?

[AlamoSpursFan]

I bailed a friend out of Bexar County back in the early 90's.

The wonderful folks at the jail made ME feel like the criminal.

Made me happy to be a taxpayer.

[DannyT]

nah all you can do is send him money for shit...i recently tried to send my homeboy some pre-stamped envelopes and they took them....

[Evan]

I had a friend in jail...trust me...what he wants is porn mags...may be too shy to ask.

assuming they allow it

[DannyT]

yeah send him some pictures of family and shit like that...I was actually holding back on the pictures I sent to him of my wife cause I knew he would beat off to them....

[Brutalis]

That's shitty.

[balli]

Fuck no. Actually, I don't know, maybe Arkansas's more liberal with the rules than where I live, but in these here parts anything you want to hook up has to fit flat in an envelope. The nicest thing you could do is hook up some commissary $. Nothing is worse than jail "food" and that way he'll at least be able to buy some ramen and shower sandals.

[DannyT]

the shit they make with roman is outta control...who the fuck makes burritos outta roman...and this shit called spread....ask your boy about it, it will blow your mind...have fun at your visit homie...

[Brutalis]

I heard guards screw them on their money though.. a friend of mine deposited 100 dollars into his brothers thing and he only saw 20 of it.

Jail guards are one step above jail inmates on the societal ladder. I wouldn't put it past them, but still, if your homie doesn't have any cash I'd bet he's hating life even more than he would otherwise.

[DannyT]

nah just do like 20 every week or so...thats what ol' boys mom did...

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Send him pictures of you with his wife/GF.

[DannyT]

damn JB...I had no idea you was such a pimp....LJ if you ever get locked up watch out for china man

[Fillmoe]

Why are you bringing him a plain white shirt? The county blues arent good enough for him?

[SpursWoman]

In Bexar county, it's county orange. Not that I know anything about that or anything. :cooldevil

[TDMVPDPOY]

give him porno mag being phottoshopped

[DannyT]

i thought the females wore blue SW...

[tlongII]

The only clothes he'll be allowed to wear are jail issued.

OK, I had to look up what the hell was in spread.

The Spread — Ramen (http://www.mattfischer.com/ramen/?p=564)

* Ingredients Packs Ramen Noodles (spicy chicken is the best)
* 1 package of cheetos or generic equivalent
* 1 package of spicy cheetos or generic equivalent
* 1 Meat Log or 4 of the smaller meat sticks
* Mayonnaise and tortillas

In jail there are no pots and pans, just a hot water machine, a microwave, small bowls, and garbage bags!

Step 1: The noodles: Smash the packages of noodles into small noodle bits. Take a large garbage bag (a new one) and put the smashed noodle bits inside of it. Fill a pitcher with hot water and put it in the microwave to get it boiling. Pour the boiling water into the bag and tie the bag closed. Let the noodles cook for 10 minutes.

Step 2: The Meat: Tear or cut the meat into small pieces, place all the meat into a bowl, add about a half inch of water and dump all the soup flavoring packets into the bowl. Cook the meat for 3-4 minutes in the microwave.

Step 3: The chips: Smash the bags of chips into dust. You can adjust the ratio of cheesy chips to spicy chips to whatever you like.

Step 4: The Mix: Dump the meat and any juice that is in the bowl into the garbage bag of noodles, Dump the chip dust in as well. Tie the bag back up and mix.

Step 5: Plating” This dish feeds 5 people, it should fill everyones bowl to the top. Use a county issued cup to dish out the spread. Top with a few squirts of mayo and give each person a tortilla.

This stuff makes a good burrito filling. Jail sucks. There are a lot of variations to this recipe of course but this is SPREAD in it’s most simple form. Noodles, chips, meat, mayo.

[remingtonbo2001]

Huh?

I spent the night in jail before and I got eggs and bacon for breakfast, with a glass of orange juice.

To my knowledge, that was pretty typical for all inmates and detainees.

This spread, it doesn't sound good by any means. Why not just have some Romen with a bag of cheetos and a tortilla.

spending a night and serving time in there is two completely different things and you should know that...that spread is pretty much how he told me with the hot Cheeto's and what not...homeboy said that he preferred spread over the hassle of going to chow for some lame ass food...I cant believe that you actually looked that shit up and found the same shit...good shit man...so now that my homeboy is out he like man I need to get you to try this one time...Im like man I wouldnt make you eat an MRE why would you want to do this to me

[DannyT]

also the meat was Spam, and they used hit plates to keep the shit warm...trash bags and all that is how they did it...

[01Snake]

Soap-on-a-Rope. He'll be greatful.

[tlongII]

The only thing I've been served in county jail is baloney sandwiches. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Baloney sandwiches. :vomit:

Was it the drunk tank you were in? :lol

And, they did that to us in basic training. We got off the bus at Lackland (I was local, so I got dropped off!), and they let us long-haired, disheveled, civilian-clothes-wearing maggots eat all we wanted in the chow hall. It was all nice and stuff.

The next morning, we got up and were issued our uniforms, got our heads shaved, and then had lunch. We expecting another nice meal. But the drill sergants had other ideas. They started screaming at us, slamming their fists on the tables, asking us what was taking so long.

By the time I was done with basic, I could eat breakfast in 30 seconds flat. I don't remember if the food was good, because I never tasted any of it.

first off you cant count going through the AF version of training and say that it is equal to any other services basic training....you guys got it made...and yes I will hate cause it is a better smarter service then the rest...lol...but I do remember going to basic and the fuckers had us as hold overs for like three weeks because they were too crowded so we got nice and plump on cakes and shit and then one day the switch just flipped...and the games begun...and instead of tasting our food going down we tasted it coming back up cause we always ran after chow:lmao

Tell your friend he'll have to pay $50, or roll doubles three times.

When I went through Air Force officer training school a couple of years later, the newbies didn't understand why I was eating so fast. I was not accustomed to getting 20 minutes to eat in training. 20 minutes! And coffee! and juice. I adjusted.

But yes, I've heard what the Marines and Army go through. Not fun.

I still have some of my MREs. They're not bad, not low-cal. (Should I start a military thread?)

[marini martini]

Should I start a military thread?)

Yes, please do:toast

[DannyT]

Yes, please do:toast

says Mrs. Fort Hood her self....:lmao

No silly, that's the other M M (mrs. maalox):lol

But my Dad was there before WWII, for Officer Training School:toast

[DannyT]

same shit I bet your both MILFs or GILFs who have military ties...my fault...my fault

[tsb2000]

In Bexar county, it's county orange. Not that I know anything about that or anything. :cooldevil

In Phoenix, the convicts wear pink. No kidding. :)

[DannyT]

isnt that apart of what your governor set up...whats his name Richardson?
or was it the black and white striped joints that he used and had then living in tents and working the fields and shit like that...thats the best shit if you ask me...

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

It's Sheriff Joe Arpaio with the pink clothes.

[Heath Ledger]

I still eat fast thanks in part to Navy Basic, 5-10 mins per, I was in a Bug company(bunch of fuckers who couldnt get their shit together) so we were always punished come chow time. I will never forget the day we did the gas chamber then marched directly to eat. Not too many people ate that day.

[atxrocker]

I'm in central Arkansas



I am so sorry.

[mrsmaalox]

The only jail I have ever been to was the Brewster County jail in Alpine, Texas. I went with my friend to visit her incarcerated boyfriend, and the 2 inmates sat around with the deputies, playing cards and eating chips. They even let my friend and her worthless boyfriend use one of the 2 cells for some "special" time. :oops

[remingtonbo2001]

Was it the drunk tank you were in?

Yes.

And it would had been even more interesting if I were actually drunk.

That being said, the worst aspect was the lack of windows.

You could never tell what time it was.

Jail Food Sucks, get him some money like some of the other posters have said.

I don't think you can bring him any items, but with the money you send him, he should be able to buy some t's off the comissary list.

I was served mcdonalds for my first meal in jail when i got arrested for driving without a license.

The first time I went to jail it was in rural ass southern Utah and it was basically just a couple of cells connected to the local sheriff's station- kind of like a new-age Andy Griffith. I only spent a night, but both in the evening and in the morning I got a home-cooked meal from the sheriff's wife as good as any I've ever eaten.

The second time, I did a week in Salt Lake County and the food was as bad as any I've ever seen. Most of the time breakfast was saccharine and saltpeter laced water with whatever else was too nasty looking to eat. Lunch was Baloney on the most stale and smashed white bread on the face of the planet and dinner was usually a day from expiration milk, mashed potatoes with a quarter inch of milky water on top with a lump of meat in the middle that looked like dog shit and some nasty ass peas.

They did hook up a tablespoon of apple sauce sometimes, which was all I ate for a week.

By comparison something as shitty as this, looks great.

Why on earth would they give you something healthy in jail?


What benefit would it serve for the state to improve the health of it's inmates?

Oh, but they want you to come back.


How do you think the government makes money?

It's the best argument I could think of.
