Never been to Federal Prison but State Prison here In Cali Aint all that Bad....I would Say dont run to another Country if your Facing 10 years or less cuz its really not that Bad at all...You get used to it pretty quick once you get settled in and in your comfort Zone...You dont want to go to Prison in Mexico or South America thats for sure....Plus here in Cali whatever you get sentenced to you only do Approximately half of your sentence becuz the Prison system is so Crowded...~ogr
