I got sentenced to jail for a first-time DUI and spent a day in full shackles being transported to the jail, and every time I was outside my cell too. I always thought the shackles were overkill (ok, handcuffs sure) for a DUI, which is more serious than what they got you for. God, what a weird system! Michelle: I’ve been there done that.

I will say I do remember the police/court people treating me decently. No one shoved me into the cell and yelled "sit there and shut up, scumbag!" or anything like that. They were actually pretty friendly from what I remember. The whole thing was just so bizzare.

How preposterous! That seems a little extreme. I wonder what will happen to me if my unpaid Bentley College campus parking ticket from 1991 ever catches up with me...I threw it in a dumpster!

I'm sure that wasn't easy to share, but I'm glad you did. The speeding ticket situation is something that could happen to anyone. You'd think there would be something less severe for such a thing but I guess they need to bunch everyone together whatever the situation. Roughly 16 years ago I saw the inside of a prison, as a tourist. I was bidding on (through the company I worked for at the time) a large computer installation. All the bidders were given a tour. Quite a place. I believe it was MCI Shirley, but could be wrong - just remember it was somewhere generally in Central Mass. Thanks as always for an excellent site, taken to another level here.
