It was a terrible job for many reasons shoes. It isn't just the people you deal with who are doing time, it is the politics of the place that is supposed to control them. People, regardless of their standing in life should not be used as pawns to further anothers future in politics. Firm, fair, consistent, that is all that needs to be taught. I don't think he was bragging, and I honestly believe he is scared (regardless of what he says) and was looking for some understanding. We walk the streets everyday with some very bad people, and never think twie about it. I am glad I am no longer in a position (law enforcement of any kind) to have as much control, and authority over other people. Power corrupts, and yes for awhile, it did get to me.

I'm willing to turn the other cheek if u send cash

There are people that need to be locked up to keep others safe , this kid from what I can tell is just a punk and prob didn't get a decent lawyer or copped an attitude.. but regaurdless of what happened he broke the law .. and shows no remorse in doing so ...

I am glad that you don't do that work anymore .. I think that being around the lowest forms of human life would rub off on you .. and i think that this kid is bragging it up for some sort of macho bull well you know .. fact of the matter it is not something to be proud of .. you broke the law .. I would not want my daughter to date you .. I am an old hippy and I have never been busted for smoking anything .. I no longer par take .. but there is a lot more to this story and this is not your first offense nor your last get used to jail you will be there again again and again

Never once did I suggest he does not deserve to pay for his actions. we are ALL responsible of rour actions whether we pay for them here, or another place. I am hard core crime control, and believe a wrong must always be made right. My issue lies in self righteous people judging someone who has already been judged. We have all been on the wrong side of the law a time or two in our lives, and most have gotten away with it. i don't subscribe to the "it's only a considered a crime if they catch you clique"

Me either but i also don't push something until I get in trouble.. this is not this kids first time at the rodeo .. you simply don't get time for just what he claimed to do ..

He can brag about going to prison, he didn't do anything wrong, be defiant, toke up the day he gets out.. face it, he's gonna be serving fries with that till the end of days. No sympathy, no best wishes, and that's not lack of compassion... it's well-placed reality.

ok woman first off u dont know me and there for cannot judge me nor should you judge me according to our lord jesus christ, second this is my first offence, never been in jail before, and third the other things i am not telling have nothing to do with drugs or any other thing, and forth i aint bragging about anything i mearly started this thread to tell people i know that i will not be on for a while when i do get arrested, and fifth if i met you in person and your daughter you would never know i smoked pot because i would never take your daughter to an environment where it is going on nor would i ever smoke around her or pressure her into smoking, and lastly just because i smoke pot does not make me a bad person, i got to church every sat night and sunday morning i also work in the kids bible study program (never once came in high or even smelling or looking like someone who smokes pot) i have a job which i work very hard at and no i dont smoke at my job either nor have ever come in stoned and with my S.A.T. scores i could get into pretty much any college i would ever want to but right now i just dont have the money nor time to write a bunch of essays to try and get scholorships, so thankyou for your time and please do not judge somebody you do not know ok

Let me see if I have this understood right.

You are eighteen years old. Your main pic is of you dressed in military gear, and your profile states you are a carpenter, an electrician and a plumber, so I am going to go out on a limb and suggest that you are in the military. Considering you have stated that you are going to STATE prison, and not a military prison, then I think it is safe to believe you are in the guard or reserve (If I am correct about being in the military in the first place).

When I joined the army back in 1993 my first mos was carpenter/masoner (53B) and you would cross train into electrician(57R?) and plumber (57K?) as you got higher in rank. It would not surprise me to find out that they have combined all three into one mos (military occupational specialty) now, as they have done with several others that you would cross train in at a certain rank.

With that said, you also state that you were charged with three crimes: The first being possession of drug paraphenalia along with drugs, the second one intent to sell/distribute. You have not stated what the third one is, and I am not going to ask as it is none of my business or concern.

Now, I have never done anything worse than cigarettes or alcohol, don't care too, never have. I am all for the legalization of pot, and certain other drugs; as you stated a person using pot is no different than a person using alcohol. And I want to applaud you for being responsible enough to not get behind a wheel or anything when you are high. Not to many people would do that. However my question is with this: What paraphenalia did you have to get busted for if you are only using pot? To my knowledge you treat pot just like a cigarette as far as rolling it and smoking it. No equipment involved (unless you are using a tube packer, and that is not drug paraphenalia). This suggests that it wasn't pot you got busted with.

Am I pretty much right so far? Or am I way off base? Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong, but I don't think I am with what you have stated so far. And if I am right, then this explains why you are getting such a "harsh" sentence at eighteen.

your temper outburst will be your downfall and if your sats were that good you would be able to get money for college but with a felony record you have not left that door open for yourself .. I have smoked pot too and I have never never gotten in trouble with the law for it .. and what else do you have but time to write essays .. too busy getting high?? you have been judged and not by me but society has to have standards and you have broken them so don't whine and cry now .. you did the crime do the time .. what have you learned from all this because you are still going to get high , still defend your actions and have not shown any remorse for what you did ,, and my tax dollars get to feed and clothe you for the next six months while you make little if any contribution to society .. sorry that I am not just thrilled at that prospect.. why should I support your habbit ??

I won't judge, or make fun of you. Personally, I've never been to prison, but whatever. I do know people who have for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they thought they deserved it, some didn't Bottom line is personal responsibility.

You're aware of the law. If you take that chance and you get caught, unfortunately sometimes you gotta take responsibility and make the best out of it. You're a young man. You'll probably be fine. But seriously, in there, do what you can for an early release, and when you come out, just make damn sure you take a long hard look at your life, and make the best out of it.

I aint being preachy, but this is a serious subject. This is YOUR life brotha. This is the only one you got (as far as you know), so don't waste it on silly s**t. Close the book on this chapter, and move on.

a bong and a pipe are two i can think of.

A pipe, even if used for pot is not considered drug paraphenalia because it is designed for tobacco (any bad lawyer would get a pipe tossed out of court). The bong however, and I could be wrong as I have said I personally have never used, is not used for pot, but for cocaine and other heavier drugs.
