I haven't been to prison, but I've been to jail.  Unless you are a soft little pussy, you won't be getting raped.

 I've been to jail too and it's not even that dangerous at all.

 Whatever dude.

 There are so many bullshit laws, anyone can slip up and get put in jail. The system is designed that way.

 If your big dumb ass got popped with your gear just one time you'd be put in jail too.

 I have been in jail in Mexico, the USA and Vietnam. All three times it was for petty stuff that didn't even go on my record and I was just let out real quick.

There are not 'So many' laws that catch people out. Most laws are simple. I also said 99% of the time as there will always be an exception.

It's no big deal.

Behave yourself. Hang with the right people/race. If you gamble, pay your debts.

Just like in the real world, drugs lead to a whole lot of trouble.

Do not take shit from anyone for any reason. In the real world there's a time to fight and a time to walk away. In the joint you never walk away.

And as noted- it's boring and repetitive. Find a good daily routine and just stick to it.

Time flies. . . whether you're having fun or not.

Jails are shit holes

 US jails are a walk in the park really. Not really that dangerous and they are usually clean and you have personal space.

 US prisons are shitholes. Jails, not bad.

 In US jails all the rape, racial politics and other shit like that is not that important or intense.

 Some people don't know the difference between jail and prison.

 The Vietnamese jail I was in was brutal, just a total hellhole. I was only in there for 3 days luckily.

 They don't give you shit there, even getting your meals is not guaranteed. Blankets, toilet paper, toothbrush, none of it is gauranteed. Lots of people were openly shooting up and smoking meth in there. I actually smoked weed in there a few times. It was pretty fucked up. Totally corrupt.

I'm sorry if I come across as naive with regards to legal matters, but if you had no convictions (as mentioned above), how can you still have a record?

When convicted, you are found guilty of an actual crime, if not convicted you are then released and the charges are dropped with no record to be had.

Help me out here chief, how do you have a record with no prior convictions?

Never been remotely near going to jail or prison.. but I do watch a lot of Lockdown on MSNBC.  ;D

Learned a couple of things:

- Seems like the rape things is way overplayed and over hyped in the media. From all the episodes I've seen, the guys never really talk about it being that much of an issue. But if you are gay you can easily  find sex.

- But they do go on endlessly about gang affiliations/gang wars/ and associating with your own color (white/black/Hispanic). Even associating with the wrong color can get you quickly stabbed.

-  Seems like as long as you mind your own business, show people respect and obey the informal laws on the inside, you'll be ok.

- A LOT of the inmates who committed horrible acts of violence and rape etc seem to do a lot of endless bitching and whining all the time over tiny shit, like getting their mail a day late etc.

It's funny, but you're right.  I was on the MAC (Mens Advisory Counsel) for a while. I was a rep for the Whites. All we ever did was try and mediate BS inmate -vs- inmate problems. If prison was inmates -vs- the guards it would have been fun. Instead it was Black v. White, or Black v. Mexican, or North v. South.

anyone doing more then 10 years should just be killed off, or put em all on an island like Australia was originally inteded to be, let those savages run the island to the ground, just make sure it's completely isolated and have gunships circling it, couple of Apache and Comanche helicopters would do :)

Never been in prison, thank god! I did spend the night in the Santa Monica City jail a very long time ago when I was just eighteen years old. It was memorable in a bad way, so much so that I'd never want to go back.

My friend and I were arrested on suspicion of grand theft auto. We were so naive that we asked for a cell together. The police laughed at us. I was put in with a fellow they said had stabbed someone. My friend's cellmate was an old drunk. I wore a large silver ring at that time. The damned thing was stuck on my finger. The cop said, "Better keep that thing hidden or your cellmate will cut your finger off to get it." I still have all my fingers. When I told them I wanted to call my lawyer, they laughed at me.

In the next cell the fellow was coming down off heroin. He alternated between being physically sick and freaking out all night. Off in another part of the jail, some ass-wipe kept calling for the jailer all night long. Needless to say my usual tactic of sleeping to avoid unpleasant experiences didn't work this night. Incidentally, the fellow yelling for the jailer was my friend who was a bit drunk himself.
 
The next morning the FBI showed up to talk to me. I was the one driving the supposedly stolen car. Apparently, the fellow who loaned me the car for the night had driven his girlfriend’s car out from the east and across several state borders making the theft a Federal offense. Needless to say, I took the FBI to the apartment where the fellow had asked me to drop him off the night before (he had picked up this gal and was spending the night with her).

My friend and I were released by 10:00 a.m. Feeling a little guilty about ratting out the guy who’d let me drive his girlfriend’s brand new T-Bird home, I took him some reading material. His girlfriend dropped the charges, flew out to California and got her car back. I’m not sure she wanted her boyfriend back although he was released.

Maybe every eighteen year old should spend one night in jail, if only to learn that it is no picnic and to never do anything to get them sent back. Once was all it took for me.

 I've been to jail too and it's not even that dangerous at all.

jail is easy,

cable tv all day, ping pong table, cards, dominoes, cofee maker, commisary, they give you new clothes ever couple days, free soap, razors every morning, free paper to write letters, except for  sleeping in a bunk bed in a room with 60 other dudes, its pretty much like vacation

In the UK we just say "prison" - end of. There's nothing in between as far as I know.

What's the difference between the two?


Jails are  usually designed to hold people  awaiting trial or serving short sentences ,  prisons are designed to hold people  convicted of crimes (long term).

If your sentence is over a year then off to prison you go.  Under and you stay in Jail.  The Jail I was at sucked bad and the guys in transfer to different Prisons wanted to go back to Prison because they said they had it easier.  They have more freedom and softer beds, their own radios, TV, etc..In jail you get the bare minimum because it is short term.

Ah, I see - didn't know that.

In the UK they have different security classifications of prison - Category A-C which are generally "closed" prisons for the worst offenders who are highly dangerous and likely to escape, and Category D, "open" prisons which allow inmates to go out into society and live relatively "free" lives, mixing with the rest of society with some even having jobs and home leave as long as they're back before a certain time.

I've obviously never been to prison myself and a lot of people in the UK say that prison is an easy life but two guys who train at my gym are prison guards and they've told me stories of the Cat C prison they work at and it sounds like it sucks.

that's the opposite of what is true that I have seen

county jails are more open and less restrictive .. they have open cells most of the day and can wander around and go outside and talk on the phones ( calling out collect ) anytime they are available .. prisons are more regimented in that prisoners have schedules for everything and can get canteen or phone time with limits ... the prisons are not maintained or updated as much or as well as county buildings are .. so there's rats  , leaking pipes , broken windows behinds wired barriers , and more that are just not a priority .. whereas in jails .. the communities they are in has specific funds assigned to take care of all that and most are close by Sheriffs or State police stations so appearances are more important ... the food is better in jails also .. unless you get canteen in prison you get the bare minimum and some days it's a dry cheese sandwich for lunch with some carrot sticks and applesauce

tv's and radios in jails are free to use in common areas but never in a cell .. in prison if you have one you had to buy it or barter for it from another prisoner ... sometimes not in a very good way ... you're safer in a jail than a prison

Well there are closed prisons but within the closed prison it has different sections and you are right some never get out of their cell.  If you are not a maniac you get general population which isn't so bad unless you are a child molester or fuck with the wrong people.

I'm sorry if I come across as naive with regards to legal matters, but if you had no convictions (as mentioned above), how can you still have a record?

When convicted, you are found guilty of an actual crime, if not convicted you are then released and the charges are dropped with no record to be had.

Yes, but he states in that same quote above that he has no convictions, yet has a criminal record.

I am aware that a person can be brought to jail to await legal proceedings in a court (when a person is charged with a felony), but he states that he has been to jail (Fair enough), but afterward had no convictions.  So why would he have a criminal record that impedes him from getting an apartment?

If you are not convicted of a crime, how can you have a criminal record?  Remember, you are innocent until proven guilty and if he wasn't found guilty (free of conviction), why would he have to pay the price by carrying around a criminal record?

For some reason, I thought I had read somewhere that arrest records are not visible to the public unless it is a law enforcement agency like the FBI(i.e. Landlords reviewing your application for an apartment).

Logically, if you have no conviction, you are not guilty of the crime.  ANYONE can get arrested for anything, but unless they are proven guilty, they are INNOCENT.

Why would someone have to carry around an "arrest" record that will dissuade people from trusting your character due to speculation regarding whether or not you actually committed a crime, especially after you have been vindicated in a court of law?

This...all arrest records go to the FBI, once your case is adjudicated, states have what's called Expungements, you can expunge certain cases off your record. Like Not Guiltys, Judgement of Acquittal, Nolle Prosequi. If you want these expunged from the FBI record, you have to file with them.

Anytime you're arrested it will be recorded. The arrest will never be removed from your police record. The final adjudication of the case is irrelevant.

Right now there are 1,700,000 give or take a convict or two Americans in jail & prison. Nobody, nobody arrest more of their citizens then we do.

local papers here have a section for police arrests, no court date set but your name makes the paper, NOT a big fan of this. If I'm not mistaken, even if first offense and let's say you get convicted but get accelerated rehabilitation, it's still on record. Most states have a judicial website and input someones name and take a gander at what pops up

I'm not sure that the statement above is true.

If an arrest record is sealed or better yet expunged, how can it possibly remain?

Does it not go against the very definition of these terms?

To seal a record, completely lock away so that no one sees it.

To expunge, being to completely destroy any trace of it.

By the logic you presented, anyone who has ever been arrested of anything has a record and will have to carry that cross for the rest of their lives because of an arrest that probably came about due to probable cause that then in court was proven without a reasonable doubt as erroneous.

It depends on the particular jail.

County jail:

If you’re locked up in an urban setting (Chicago/LA).. in a max division.. and most of the guys are violent - in for murder, home invasion etc - county jail is worse than prison on multiple levels.

Tensions run high in that scenario.. everyone is facing 30 year - life sentences... and the environment completely sucks.

Fight wasn't my fault but I was lucky and I go him good and I stomped on his arm while he was already down just because
he was a big guy and I wanted him to stay down I was scared I get my ass kicked.

I absolutely agree with your premise and with the theory of having one's arrest record expunged- however doing so would mean; destroying all paper work from the arrest, deleting all computer files pertaining to the arrest and booking. Destroying all paperwork from all court proceedings, deleting all booking photos, deleting the fingerprints from the data base, destroying paper work and computer files pertaining to jail and prison housing/cell assignment, etc. etc.

I simply don't think it can be done.

Q: Are juvenile records expunged?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•A: Most states have laws that allow, or even require, juvenile records to be expunged once the juvenile reaches a certain age. In some cases, the records are destroyed. Sometimes they are simply "sealed" or hidden from the public.

In many states, juvenile records are sealed automatically and immediately. These laws allow a minor who has committed criminal or delinquent acts, to erase his record permanently, usually at the age of 17 or 18. The idea is to allow the youth offender to enter adulthood with a "clean slate," shielding him from the negative effects of having a criminal record.

Be sure to check the laws in your state or talk to an attorney for details on expunging or sealing juvenile records in your state.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Are records ever "automatically" expunged?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•A: For adults, arrest and conviction records usually aren't automatically expunged or sealed after a period of years. You generally have to file a written application in court and follow various rules for expungement. These rules can be found in the laws of the state where the conviction or arrest was made.

For juveniles, court and arrest records are usually sealed automatically once a juvenile is arrested and a trial or "adjudication" begins. However, in most states, juveniles must file a written application to later have their records expunged or destroyed.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Can an expungment be denied?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•A: Yes. Each state sets its own standards. Some factors which may contribute to a denial include:
◦Time period required by law has not been met. This time period often does not begin until all confinement and probation has been completed and fines are paid.
◦Additional convictions exists
◦A previous expungement exits
◦Pending arrest(s)
◦Conviction of a sexual offense
◦Registered sex offender
◦Court records indicate that the case is still open


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Can previously sealed records ever be unsealed?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•A: Possibly. The terms "expungement" and "sealing" are often used interchangeably, but there are some differences. "Sealing" is when criminal records are hidden from the general public. "Expunging" means that the records are completely, physically destroyed.

So, if the laws in your state don't allow for the destruction of the records, they may be unsealed in certain circumstances. For example, if the person arrested or convicted applies for a professional license (like a license to practice medicine or law), or if he's later charged with committing a crime. Your state laws should explain in detail when, how, and by whom sealed records may be unsealed.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: If my record is expunged, do I ever have to admit that I have a criminal record?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•A: In most states, and with some limited exceptions, after your records are sealed or expunged, you may truthfully say that you were never arrested, charged, or accused of a crime. In the eyes of the law, the entire incident never happened. In most respects, a sealing or expungement restores you to the status you occupied before being arrested or charged.

You should be aware that the federal government doesn't have to honor the expungement, nor does an expungement of a conviction necessarily relieve a person from having to disclose it in an application for public office or on some professional license applications.

Q: What can be expunged?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•A: Generally, all records on file within any court, detention or correctional facility, law enforcement or criminal justice agency concerning a person's apprehension, arrest, or detention, or trial or or adjudication on a criminal offense can be expunged. However, each state has rules about what can and can't be expunged.

For example, in most states:

◦Arrests and convictions on serious, violent felonies usually can't be expunged or sealed
◦Expungement is available only for first-time misdemeanors or non-violent felonies
◦Fingerprints, photographs, and DNA evidence may be expunged

Q: What is expungement?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•A: The terms "expungement" and "sealing" are often used interchangeably, but there are some differences. "Sealing" is when criminal records are hidden from the general public. "Expunging" a criminal record means the record is completely destroyed. It's as if the crime never happened.

Each state has its own definition of expungement, based on different rules and laws. Some states may not use the term "expungement," but rather use terms like "expunction," "removal," or "destruction" of criminal records. And even if the term "expungement" is used, the records may not completely "disappear" and may still be available to law enforcement.

Check the laws of your state to see if and when expungement is available and what happens to your criminal records. If you have any questions, talk to an experienced criminal law attorney.

Q: Who can get their court record expunged?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•A: Eligibility for an expungement of arrest, investigation, or conviction records will be based on the laws of the state where the arrest or conviction happened. Often a number of conditions must be met before the request will be considered, including:
◦A minimum length of time has passed since the arrest or conviction
◦There hasn't been anymore arrests or convictions (other than minor traffic violations)
◦The criminal proceedings were dismissed
◦You were acquitted or found "not guilty" after a trial
◦You were discharged without conviction and no criminal charges were refiled
◦You were released before formal charges were filed
◦Any juvenile records have been expunged
