reply to Duchess:
jails (in florida), as opposed to prisons, are pretty spare. there is usually a common TV that is turned onto PBS from 7 to 11 at night. that's all.
when i worked corrections, if the inmates were good i'd bring in VCR movies and run them for them. the VCR was in control tower and linked to all TVs. i especially liked to do that at Christmas. :merryeffing:
they can get some treats from canteen once a week if they have the money in their accts.
no radios.
no makeup.
only needed essential toiletries.
most jails have a small library where inmates can check out a limited number of books per week if they are not under a disciplinary report.
glass of lemonade? no. glass at all? no. nor knives or forks. plastic spoons baby. hahaha little cartons of milk. sometimes some crappy kool-aid swill.
no sugar, or they will make buck. (alcohol)
inmates may cut each others' hair once a month under close supervision of deputies.
no questions are ridiculous Duchess. i wouldn't expect you to know jail routine/protocol etc. feel free to ask anytime~~
