I met one guy, guess like a career criminal type, he had a few stints in jail before.
Well anyway him and his wife get into it just like the thread starters friend.
No fighting or anything, but the wife takes the kids and runs to her sisters house.
He calls up the sister and says to the effect that if you don't bring my kids back I will cut you stab you whatever.
He calls back and keeps saying it because for days she is holding the kids hostage.
Finally the wifes sister records to calls, takes them down to the police, who give them to the DA.
He is charged with Felony terroristic threats 1st degree.
It is a felony that carries up to a 5 year sentence.
Now if it was his first offense he would have been out with time served right at sentence, but since it is not his first offense they give him the FULL 5 years with a chance for work release in 3 years and parole in 4 years.
3-5 YEARS in STATE prison for meaningless WORDS said in anger.
Another guy I met was waiting trial for murder because he killed his wife and claimed he was drunk he could not even remember doing it.
He just said "yeah that is what they say, but I don't remember shit she must have came at me"
You meet some fucked up characters.
The whole gay thing never really happens except there are some openly gay men in prison known as "punks" and they will volunteer to have sex no need for rape because every cell block has at least a few punks out of the 50+ inmates.
People going down for 10+ years are the only ones that start thinking about punks and they will fight tooth and nail as they pass they punk around mostly for blow jobs.
Sometimes they pay the punks even.
You can buy a TV for your cell and have a radio and a guitar in your cell if you can afford it along with boiling water dispensers for coffee.
Boiling water is a very common weapon and from the one guy (guard outed him as a baby raper) I saw it dumped on it looked extremely effective because he just kept screaming and screaming 'till they took him to the nurse and then to protective custody.
A 1 gallon container of boiling water dumped on your head when you don't know it is coming has to hurt, but hey that is the road you go down when you fucking rape babies I wish I had the balls to dump it on him but my times was to short, leave it to the lifers.
You have all most everything you have on the outside weed, coke etc.
People make their own wine in their cells out of orange/cranberry juice with sugar packets and bread from pizza crusts.
They fill trash bags up with 50 gallons of water in their cells and use the bags as make shift free weights.
People (especially those who just got into jail) take "Swan Dives" off the top tier of the cell block and fall 5 stories down splat.
I didn't see this, but it happened on another block when I was there and I asked a guard and he said he saw like 20 people do it in his day and saw some people break their necks most just die.
Lots of gangs, mostly reserved for the 10+ year crowd just like the punks.
Ah, I could go on.
P.S.
All these experience I described occurred in county jail while waiting for sentencing.
If you get more than 1 year and they send you up state... oh boy I heard some stories
It is only down hill from there.
I can imagine reality starts setting in for most of the lifers that they're never going home and the mood becomes much less light hearted and fancy free like in county when you still have hope of a trial or plea bargain.
