I was just in jail for 3 months. - General

Your ex sounds like an indecent excuse for a human being and you must have a heart of gold. Are the beds cozy?

From what I gather your son would be better off with you than with his mother. It would probably be beneficial for him to be able to see you every once in a while.

[QUOTE=White;40946570]It doesn't matter anymore my case is closed since I plead guilty to domestic violance.[/QUOTE] God damnit, no one should have to go through something like this. It's 2013, and people are still being handled "screwed if you do, screwed if you don't" situations in positions like this. I'm not saying the Finnish judicial system is any better, but when it comes to the US one, I've heard so many cases where it's just been total shit. One would think there would be some way to improve it.

The first thing I think of when I think of people being sentenced for felonies is that it is almost impossible for them to find a job once they're convicted. Since you were locked up, if you had a job before, I highly doubt you have one now. When you're on probation, how do you think your job search is going to be? [editline]Edited:[/editline] You said you had a job waiting for you upon release. You're a very lucky man, although what do you think will happen when you try to look for another job, if you ever do so?

Wow, I'm very sorry about the shit that's happened to you, man. I wish you all the luck in the world for your future, I really do.

[QUOTE=White;40945900]California. When it comes to Domestic Violence no matter what you have to take a deal. Unless It's really obvious the woman is lying you either take the deal or go to prison. That's what my attorney told me and everyone in my dorm. Believe me I tried fighting it. I plead not guilty all the way up to my pre-trial, but in the end I had to take felony probation or I would of been sent to prison because in our society 'woman dont lie and all men are bad'[/QUOTE] I can say, with 100% certainty, that this is the most fucked up thing I have heard this year.

I'm confused, if the story happened exactly how you said, what possible evidence was provided against you?

Was once in for 7 weeks and have to agree with the OP. The worst thing in prison is the psychic pressure you get for being locked in and unable to do what you desire.

[QUOTE=MadBomber;40947452]I'm confused, if the story happened exactly how you said, what possible evidence was provided against you?[/QUOTE] Unless I'm mistaken, there really wasn't anything except his ex's testimony. And him pleading guilty.

[QUOTE=White;40946436]We got in an arguement over our financial issues and how she wasn't getting the things she wanted and 'deserved'. I left to go vent to one of my friends about how hard my life was and then I came home to my stuff in bags so we started to argue again. She then pulled out a knife and told me I had to leave and to never come back. I didnt take her bluff and called her pathetic and many other names, she then started slashing the furniture I just bought and was yelling out how cheap and pathetic I was and how I was never a man and never will be for my son or our family. I left the apartment and told her I was going to file for custody for our son because she was lazy and was an unfit mother because shes never worked a day in her life. Later that night police showed up at my mothers house with a K9 Unit and tackled me to the ground. I was taken into custody and they recorded my statement which was the officer questioning me on what had happened. Apparently my ex told the officer I held a knife to her throat and told her I was going to kill her, then i prevented her from using her cell phone and blocked her from the doors. She also stated that I slashed the couches aggressivley and told her I was going to take her life. I was charged with: Imprisonment Child Endangerment Assault with a deadly weapon Assault to cause harm or serious bodily injury Terrorist Threats Domestic Violance Thats how it all started and thats how I'm where I'm at now. My attorney told me I had no chance with a case like this because if she was to appear at trial and testify I would of been done for because she set me up perfectly and somewhat intelligently.[/QUOTE] Wouldn't you have neighbors who could back up your side of the story?

[QUOTE=White;40945820]I look at jail as one of the greatest exeperiences of my life though, other then the panic attacks and throwing up at first for thinking i was going to prison(which I could of easily for 4-10 years). I read over 50 books, the bible, worked out more then I ever have, learned not to stereotype others, learned a lot about the justice system and how its entirely fucked up from the ground up and I met a lot of good people in jail that shared a lot of their kindness and breathtaking wisdom.[/QUOTE] I kind of want to go to jail now

[QUOTE=MadBomber;40947452]I'm confused, if the story happened exactly how you said, what possible evidence was provided against you?[/QUOTE] His lawyer advised him to take a deal. Sometimes the law is just a huge gamble. Remember, cases are not decided by evidence like on CSI; they're decided by juries. If your lawyer thinks you have a strong defence, you can gamble by going to court, but if the jury sides with a testimony, you're now screwed because you didn't take the deal.

I've been told that in a domestic violence situation the guy is always gonna get fucked over.

That's the problem with "justice", woman is ALWAYS right. I had a case with my aunt's husband, his wife left him and left him to raise their daughter. Couple of years later, she came back, won the daughter over, and he hadn't seen her for many, many years, so much, that he completely lost her: they speak different languages and he's a complete stranger to her now. Situations like these make me want to tear my hair off.

[QUOTE=White;40946096]Well if it wasn't for my friend curry telling me how a Cruise waiver worked and how I could get one I would of been sitting in their until July 8th just to get released by my probation officer they selected. I was standing in court in front of a lot of other inmates being charged with other crimes and my attorney spoke with the judge telling him why I should be released on my own recognance. My attorney told the judge I was planning on attending a parenting classes and domestic violance classes and I had a place to stay and a job waiting for me and I was also a full time college student. The judge saw all that and proposed that I be released on a cruise waiver which means I still have to show up to court on the 8th to be sentenced to 3 years felony probation and pay up to $15,000 in court fees which I don't have. After that I went through what is called "The Walk of Shame" which is a really long concrete hallway that is very depressing, you have to walk this walk everytime you go to court which is your arrainment all the way to trial. I walked that walk of shame 5 times while in jail and let me tell you its very intimidating and depressing with handcuffs and baliefs escorting you. I was then let back into my dorm and everyone hopped on me and asked me what happened in court. Having my 3 months of experience I knew that if I told everyone I was getting out they would all try to get my dinner tray and remaining commisary(top ramens and honey buns etc) So what I did was tell everyone I wasnt getting out and I was taking it to trial. I then slipped a note to curry saying I was getting out and then sneakily passed him my commisary and gave him a bro hug and waited for the gaurd to say "Ward Roll it UP!" After the gaurd says that you roll up all your blankets and belongings you wish to keep and leave the dorm and go downstairs to remove your jail clothing and they give back to you the clothes and items you had when your were brought to jail. I then walked for 1 and a half hours to my mothers house and believe me being in jail for 3 months then going on a walk is a weird and good experience.[/QUOTE] What was your mother's reaction upon seeing you for the first time in 3 months, I bet she was worried sick :/

[QUOTE=swampie;40946797]there was no need, it's easier to just say "well, he must have done it" than spend time and resources to find out if it was really him [sp]and that's really fucked up[/sp][/QUOTE] Is this really how it works for you guys?

My main question is, What will you do now?

This thread makes me fear women

Curry seems like a person whom I would invite to a BBQ party. And no, not just because he's named/nicknamed after a spice.

[QUOTE=White;40946436] Terrorist Threats[/QUOTE] What the shit?
