Is there any one that nows of a prison or jail that will let someone stay in for awile to see and feel what it is relly like. I am not stupid or crazy so please no dumb answers. It is a personal exeriment and dont want a record thaks

Answer 1

There are extremely rare circumstances that come around every so often whereby a particular penal institution will allow someone to "guest" in their facility---when they do this though-- it is with extremely tight security measures and definate releases signed by the individual to be staying with them that releases everyone and everything connected to them from any and all liabilities and claims Way before the final deal is cut !!!

Most usually these kinds of deals are made with Movie people--- notable actors or writers who are "researching" a particular thing that the "inside" is the only input that will do !! OR Journalists who are researching a particular matter having to do with prison life and the like !!!
The prison system only allows this under the rarest of circumstances and the "deal" to negotiate this out is usually long and tedious and done by a host of individuals working out the particulars and making agreements---- the system will not be agreeing to anything that is in an unfavorable light on them !!!
For a single individual to "cut a deal" for this type of "research" is just simply unheard of and will have about the same chances as the proverbial snowball in hell !!!

Interesting. I do not think you are dumb. I think you are curious. However, due to the nature of most prison's I think it would be very difficult to let you in for just a day. Prison officials run a tight ship to keep up with prisoners, keep them in line etc... visitors would disrupt the flow. My suggestion is to try a local jail. Usually where they lock up people overnight until they can be processed. It may not be the "prison" experience you are looking for but will give you an idea of what it is like to be behind bars.

Its not much fun, and you can't really experience the real anguish of it if you thought that you could leave any time that you wanted anyway.

Having a twenty five year maximum sentence and spending years where you daily are aware that your fate rests on the whim of a few people on a parole board who no absolutely nothing about you and will have around 8 minutes to decide your fate is an eye opening experience.

Trust me on this one, you would just be waisting your time. Better to talk to someone who has been through it, if you really want to know what it is like.

Your question has brought back wonderful memories of my youth.Once upon a time in Glasgow around 1955 I was about eighteen. I went into the courtroom one morning and sat down. I was listening to all the old drunks and the prostitutes being fined. Some being sent down, some being admonished when of a sudden, old Langmuir, that was the name of the magistrate, pointed up the court directly at me. Charge that man with contempt of court, he screamed! I was dived on from all angles and thrown into a cell, where I spent the rest of the day and all night wondering what it was I had done. Well, the next day after a breakfast of a cold sausage around midday I was was hauled before Mr Langmuir.
Whatever do you mean by it he began! you come into my courtroom without so much as a by your leave, and when you have settled yourself down and got comfortable to your own satisfaction, you proceed to light a cigarette. Would you light up a cigarette when you were in a church or a library even?
No! of course you wouldn't. You my man, will spend the next seven days in Barlinnie Prison contemplating what you have heard hear today. Take him down. In that week I met some great names of that time. Johnnie Romensky Arthur Thompson, and Bennett, (they had come down from Peterhead prison for visits) to name a few I wouldn't swap that seven days for all the tea in China. Thanks for the memory

Answer 6

You do NOT want to go to jail.
But if you REALLY want to, go to a police station, or talk to a judge or someone 'highly ranked' like that, and work something out with them.
There are times, judges allow 'at risk' teens to visit jails so that they can realize the error of their ways and stop their bad behavoir and don't end up in a place like that.
So, if you can get audience with a judge or someone like that...maybe you can get something worked out....

Otherwise....you do NOOOOOOT!! want to be in a place like that.

Answer 7

UMMM......you should call city hall and se what they think but they might not let you bc there are crazy and bad people there and they might not want you around people like that and like the people in jail might ask you to do something bad for them sence you don't have to stay there!

Answer 8

Even if you could go to jail temporarily it will not be a real experience because you can always leave without the consequences.

Answer 9

As long as you are stuck to choices, you are enjoying the experience of being in a jail.
Only a choiceless person is really free !

Answer 10

You can't simply go because you want to. You must violate the law to be eligible for three hots and a cot and better medical care than you can receive now.
