Do any of you know any women in jail, or are you a woman who's been in jail. Is it easy? Do some of them even turn lesbian for the time and have great relationships? In a man's jail, your pretty much dead unless your the biggest, most evil guy. Basically, either be someones b*tch or die, which both of those choices leads to your death, or humiliation and then death. But in women's jail, how different is it? Is it different at all? Do women fear for their lives in jail as well as men do? Or is jail for women just a minor irritation, & more of a annoying vacation from society but nothing too dramatic?
Just curious.

Anahera P - I live in American, have all my life, and I get my information from guys who actually been in jail. This is the dark side that most women don't care to learn about, which is why it sounds strange that this happens to men in jail.

naw m - Hahaha, calm down buddy. It's just a question. Gay sh*t happens in jail all the time which is why I don't trust most people when they claim they're a particular sexual orientation or another. It's also why I asked that part of the question.
Also, you said the problems are equal in both male and female prisons, but you didn't answer the question by explianing why.

I know a lot of folks who've been in the joint (I live in a poor neighborhood & I used to work in construction).
From what I know, prison sucks for both genders - it's boring, there are a lot of a**holes in there, the clothes are ugly, the medical care is inadequate and the guards will kick your *** in a heartbeat.
And there are a LOT of fights in jail - and a lot more tension. Male prisoners are CONSTANTLY trying to avoid fighting - since fights = lockdown and on lockdown you're stuck in your cell and that really sucks (no commissary, no phone calls, no lifting weights or playing basketball in the yard ect).
That's why ex jailbirds tend to be overly polite - in prison, if you even THINK you insulted another prisoner, you say you're sorry immediately - otherwise there WILL be a fight - and I just told you what happens when they fight - it screws it up for everybody
But, the food is good, and they have really big portions
This is true for both men and women
For guys, there is a LOT of the gay stuff- but it's mostly CONSENSUAL
Most guys admit they had sex with men in the joint, but they swear that they were "the man" and the other guy was "the *****" (of course, at least 50% of them are lying)
Of course, there are jailhouse rapes (and, legally speaking ALL prison sex is rape since prisoners are considered legally dead in terms of civil law when they are inside and therefore they cannot consent to sex) but most jailhouse sex is consensual (men with no other outlet doing what they have to do to fulful their urges)
In women's jails, their is a LOT of lesbianism (and here, it's almost 100% consensual, it's almost unhead of for a woman to rape another woman in the joint)
And there is a lot of sex with the guards - male Corrections Officers give special "favors" to their little prison girlfriends - more food, special items that the commissary doesn't stock, better work assignments ect
legally, that's all rape (and from time to time DoC cracks down on the guards who have sex with prisoners)
There's also a lot more fighting in women's prisons.
The guys tend to avoid fights since the consequences are so serious and they get super polite to make sure that they don't have a fight unless there's no other choice
Women in prison aren't like that
You know how women are on the outside ? They love to argue and pick fights, and they won't drop it until they win?
Women are WORSE in the joint!
Arguments will start at the drop of the hat (women prisoners even ARGUE WITH THE CO'S! Since male CO's are less likely to kick a woman prisoner's *** than a male, the girls know they can get away with it)
And, since the DoC isn't as quick to use teargas, mace and nightsticks against fighting women inmates, the women know the consequences aren't as serious as they are in the male institutions
so the girls fight all the time, over dumb stuff (just like women do in the real world)
In other words, prison sucks for women just as much as it does for men, but in a slightly different way!

Jail is hard on women, if not more because women tend to get in each others business more than men. I was a cop before. Jail and prison are hard. I have heard women say they were sexually assulted in jail by inmates and guards. I am going to give you a tip. If you are in jail and someone trys to bother you, act crazy, act like you lost your marbles. That scares people. If you are in prison and someone is sizing you up to be their *****, get yourself thrown in to solitaire. By the time you get out they will have another person to focus on.

I'm not sure where you are from exactly, so I don't know where you're getting your information about men being in jail. But, for women it is much the same. They can still be hurt and there are some very big women out there.

I have been to jail in my younger years and it is not fun by any means, but I got along with everyone just fine. In fact I made a few new friends in there, although I was only there a few days here and there. I also live in a small city in Montana, so that might make a difference.

Before i answer yr main question:
"Do some of them even turn lesbian for the time and have great relationships"????? What is that mean? is turning lesbian considered great? what the h*ll is this? you sound too much misleading.
Jail is not for desirable place regardless of gender. the same horrible things are happening in both places.

My cousin's daughter was in prison and when she got out she used to almost brag about how easy it was. How she had her own t.v. and "room" (that is what she called her cell.)
She re-offended (what a surprise) and was sent back to prison. When she arrived the 2nd time she was joking with the guards that her old room wasn't quite the same as she had left it.
Just another case of our tax dollars hard at work.

Jail is no problem for women. Prison is another thing all together. If you're a woman,and have to go to prison you better get used to licking carpet.
