Want to weep? If you are totally immune to flashbacks and have emotional shields that can take anything, read "Inside This Place, Not Of It". Stories of women in prison and how they got there.
Depends where you are. No privacy in a jail, but a memoir from someone in a women's min security camp said she got to the end of her sentence never having seen anyone naked except herself.
On another forum where I hang out, there's a long running thread where people post stories and everyone else guesses without looking whether it's real or Onion. Some are serious challenges.
It's not real email but it's a secure portal that does a limited subset of what email does. It is also billed to the inmate by the minute. About five cents a minute is typical, or three dollars an hour. My pen pal's first job paid twelve cents per hour.Federal detention centers are cramped and Spartan at the very best and some are nightmares: https://www.nydailynews.com...
From the book "Orange is the New Black", I was horrified (not surprised) at the scene where a guard supervising a line of inmates being moved zeroed in on Piper Kerman and solicitously asked whether her cuffs were too tight. Didn't ask anybody else -- was doing her a favor because she was white.
She will still be strip-searched regularly, including having to squat and cough naked, and will be subject to having to fill out triplicate forms to take a shit.

My prison pen pal was a veteran. She said it was way worse than Basic, and that was at the least-worst kind of min security.
Right. You can come in with eyeglasses and a wedding ring. That's it.
And not even good conduct time unless the sentence is over a year.

My wife's comment about Bond movies. Why does anyone work for the villain?
Can confirm. Spent one night in Atlanta curled up around the toilet with 6 other people in the cell.
She should try doing yoga there.

Someone get Prison Mike
She should take a harmonica and learn Midnight Special, I Shall Be Released, and In the Jailhouse Now.
Life-coaching Hint: If you do not want to be treated like a piece of crap, do not be a piece of crap.
I am having a hard time imagining life coaching in South Dakota. Or anywhere, really, but especially not South Dakota
Perhaps she already bought tickets for a team-building retreat in Mexico and they don’t want her to waste them?
