I've heard things like prison rape are fairly uncommon but violence isn't. The thing I fear the most is having boiling sugar water "napalm" thrown in your face.

Really? Where were you, please?I was in a prison. but only for a short time (as a part of my destroyed life, just for a fine). The worst thing for me was boredom. Being alone with my thoughts felt like torture. I had nothing in my cell, no television - no radio, only my fucked up mind and four white walls. Every second in there I thought about hanging myself up on the prison bars.
Anyway...I had no problems with anyone in there. The only one with problems was a sex offender. They told me not to change a word with him or it would be my turn.
Prison in germany. Quiet and peaceful. The worst thing I saw was a lethal overdose of spice. Thats all :D
I know the prison documentaries from america. Seems like you've been in one of those hell holes.
ok makes more sense now. We have a show here 60 days In & the prison seems like a college dorm compared to my personal experiences.Prison in germany. Quiet and peaceful. The worst thing I saw was a lethal overdose of spice. Thats all :D

I've only been to jail & witnessed all major of violence, witnessed because I stayed in my cell 99% of the time & passed off my food to whomever. This was in NJ. All relatives that had long sentences experienced much worse. Where are these calm jails prisons located.

This is very true and while I never been in trouble with the law, this is even more reason for people to stay very clean in the eyes of the law. Life for me is already difficult enough so prison and legal issues would be beyond too much for me to handle.U.S prisons are shit holes because they literally profit off of them. There is a reason they are so keen on charging and locking up people for possession of pot and other very minor criminal offenses. When somebody has money to make, they will ruin the system until it benefits them and their pockets with no disregard for how it will affect the system, community or those involved.
There are many stories and leaked documents about prisons and the police working together for the sake of profit, even the government has been in on it. It's kind of sad to see the "land of the free" in such a pitiful state for what their founders believed in and worked so hard to achieve. I truly feel sad for the rights that are being violated there, and it's definitely expanding into other countries like here in Canada.

OTOH,what I've seen of the US prison system is very frightening.
I feel like I'd personally prefer my own cell to having three violent cellmates and being forced to do hard labor for like $1 an hourI was in a prison. but only for a short time (as a part of my destroyed life, just for a fine).

But I'd imagine solitary confinement is better than being in the general population?I've been in Solitary Confinement for a stent. Let me tell you that incarceration is HELL. I was tough enough to hold my own. But I'd still prefer working a dead end job to it anyday!
Do you have to work in Norwegian prisons, though?I am from Norway. Prisons here are humane and ok. I sometimes contemplates serving a prison sentence as an alternative to suicide, or if I fail at killing myself. The conditions are good and every prisoner get their own cell with tv, and the food is actually great! The only problem with doing time, as I see it, is that you have to mix with other prisoners.
And I am happy to say that the police in Norway is great! I feel that just any trigger happy idiot can be a policeman in USA, but in Norway it is very difficult to become police. In my country the police is respected and liked.

Yeah fuck thatYes, there is a duty to be active. You are not allowed to just idle and do nothing. So you either have to work or study, but the work is not very hard and the education is top-notch. Many people when they leave prisons has obtained a diploma or a certificate of apprenticeship.
So from monday to friday they have work hours from about 8 to 15. The evenings and weekends is time off and they can just relax and do whatever they like.
So there's no real protection from being mutilated then, greatI am from Norway. Prisons here are humane and ok.

The only thing I don't like about the Norwegian justice system is the very short sentences they hand out. If you kill somebody you only get like 10 years in prison. You of course get extra years if the murder was premeditated or extra painful, but rarely longer than 16 to 18 years. And on top of that people don't actually serve the time given, only two-thirds of it if they behave.
Yeah fuck that
Also they are also making increasingly common moves for felons to be hired out of prison in America (hats off to them if they want that), but that's just going to lead to the world becoming more like prison
Also "trigger-happy" policemen are the best ones for suicide by cop
So there's no real protection from being mutilated then, great
I'm not trying to argue with someone on the internet but this is just reinforcing my hopelessness if painless suicide methods become illegal
I would really rather not chainsaw myself to deathIn many Norwegian prisons the inmates have access to knifes and axes and a whole range of tools. It is possible to kill yourself if you want to, but of course it can be difficult obtaining SN:-)
P.S.: Some prisoners even have access to chain saws

Does not sound especially quick or painless
Haha that would not be meOnce there was a chinese inmate who tried to chop off his leg in order to sue the Norwegian state for money and to get a citizenship. Hahah! True story!
