    Spent a couple days in county and calling outbound to beg for help was my only respite. That and an old Tom Clancy novel a guy let me have.

    Don’t get me started on denying prisoners books.

      One time, I knew my probation officer was going to lock me up. I think I gave a hot urine or something equally stupid. Anyway, with the thought of county in my mind, I headed to the PO office with a backpack full of books. I hoped they would let me keep them with me when I got booked. Suprisingly, they let me keep all the books with me! When I got released, I gave the books away to the other inmates. I hope they’re still being passed around in there.
