Anyone here has ever been to jail ?
What's the library like ?
Also do they try to feed you the Bible as soon as you show some interest into reading ?

i was in military jail for two weeks. i had a copy of t.e. lawrence's "seven pillars" which i finished pretty quick. i also wrote a lengthy quote from it on the wall of the cell. after that i tried to get my hands on another book by one of the jailers but all they had was book five of song of ice and fire series and i couldn't get past the first chapter because it was shit, plus i had never read the other ones. end of blogpost.

Just curious. Same exact wording, including the question about the Bible, a few months apart.

Depends on the jail but typically in CA you will have a bookcart with about 50 books on it that will alternate between cellblocks on the same floor every few days. If you are lucky you will get a bookcart from another floor every 6 months. But it’s not that bad most inmates will have some books stashed away. As far as what kind of books very few classics just easy reading like cowboy adventures and Agatha Christie. If you go to isolation that’s where you get the Bible and nothing else.

No real reason. I sometimes do the same with other threads that get interesting answers (i.e. the "do any of you actually keep a diary ? If so post a passage" Thread )

Didn't know they still gave prisoners the Bible. You'd think those American Atheist cucks would complain about that.

who has time for reading in jail? that's when you're supposed to be writing your political manifesto on rolls of toilet paper

My local jail is pretty good. The guards will take each section or "pod" to the library once a week and there's always a pile of books in the communal area that are free for anyone to take. If there wasn't so many niggers it wouldn't be a bad place to be. You don't even have to worry about feeding yourself and you can read all day long.

prison is rape is overrated, most people are super homophobic and probably half of them got molested so anyone trying any non-consensual fag shit will not end well, i think it depends on the prison system tho, like i heard california used to have a separate prison just for fags, and u hear about some crazy shit from the 70s in red states like texas, but really prison is pretty fucking straight sorry to disappoint all the people fantasizing about wild bbc gangbangs in the showers or whatever lol

Not really in jail. Most jails are pretty small and there are always guards and staff within earshot. Also all the rooms have emergency intercoms, at least where I was. Prison and state jails are where all the fucked up shit happens.

Never been to jail but a coworker told me that when he went the jail had a lot of filthy (with semen) porno pulp novels, a lot of which feature rape as a major component of the plot which seems bizarre to me.
