I can't say that I like it.
I can't say that I don't like it.
This sadly is the truth of what prison is like.
You can get jailed for little reason and unless your defense is solid, you go to jail - whether it's long term or not, there are rules...and they are not the same as outside.
Many times the guards are far worse than the inmates who are detained...and this proves it to a better perspective than most jail movies I've seen.
It's a game that once you leave that courtroom, you have to learn very quickly.
To those that commented on being charged and arrested for protecting your family - yes, sad but true...unless you were injured there was a weapon in direct contact, should you kill somebody or even injure them serious enough to be disabled or have physical problem, then you can be charged with murder, attempted murder, willful negligence and a slew of other charges.
Even if you were in a convenience store and it was being robbed and you worked as a cashier...unless a weapon was brought onto you, should you defend yourself and hold and sustain the attacker - you are liable for criminal charges...even if there are witnesses and camera video recordings.
The justice system is beyond messed.
If you were to injure somebody in a related instance, it would sometimes be better to be killed in the same event - as the law can screw you severely.
This happens in the US and in Canada.
Nobody is innocent and that is the sad but true fact.
Your own home, locked, secured and protected by you and your family has little value the moment you decide to defend yourself and have any good chance in doing so.
Justice is blind, it's for the wealthy and the famous.
Never rely on the public defender. Do whatever you must to get a lawyer that does not work for the county...they are a joke to the defense system and have virtually no trial experience.
