Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started!

Ever been Banged Up?

Post by RickyBobby »

... and care to tell about it?

Cambodia, or wherever. Would be interesting to hear your stories, if any.

I find the prospect of being in prison in KOW terrifying, and we've heard the stories. But sometimes, when I see photos of people that are re-appearing for court, they seem to look surprisingly decent for living in a cage.

Sup homies? Spill.

I got nicked in Pakistan in 1974, i was trying to send a kilo of hash to the uk, i got 2 months in the nick, i had been taking lots of hash from Peshawar to the indian border on a regular basis but after a few months of that plus an opium habit i decided to try the post office bad move!
I also got nicked in California for weed in 1975 spent a couple of days in the Santa Cruz county jail. Have also done borstal in the uk for possesion of drugs

My 24 hours in a morrocon jail is another story.

I must have been arrested about 20 times in various European countries and spent a good few nights in the cells but never got charged with anything so no, never really been banged up as such. All a long time ago and funny to think of now but I was young and foolish.

I spent one night in the drunk tank at the local cop shop years ago, and I wasn't even drunk. They took my shoes, and there was a heated concrete platform, but no blanket or pillow. The lights never dimmed, and time stood still. At some point there was a crying loud moaner brought in adjacent that made me crazy. I was disoriented and didn't know the time of day or what end was up. Longest night of my life.

Jail in Pakistan and Morocco both must be a story. Also, seems you have lived an adventurous life. I bet you have a ton of good stories. Please share it.
