Just found out I have to do 9 months in jail....

County is far different than State. You should be fine as long as you don't have an attitude with anybody.

Treat every guard as if he/she were the president (sir sir sir for 9 months). Goes a long way when some punk is giving you a problem.

I did 3 years in prison as Ive posted about before on here. Best thing to do is just be "neutral"and avoid any kinda gang affiliation at all.

Prison was easy to me but it tore the hell outta my ass

Dude,you really have nothing to worry about.What really sux is this will be on your record.Its not easy being an EX Con , looking for a job!!!

 One more thing,unless you want to have your shit pushed in,you shouldnt have that problem..Just find something to pass your time..

I honestly believe there are two kinds of law breakers...

Those who got caught, and those who have not been caught (the rest of us, EVERYBODY).

I spent one night in jail in Philly (Insulted 2 plains clothes cops who stopped my brother while he was walking down the street while arguing with his girl. I got their attention while he got away and said they didn't look like fucking townwatch let alone fucking cops. I was ready to take em out when the badges came out and their backups also. We were all a little drunk. I got released in the morning) and one night in jail in California (Loaded gun in glovebox with max in clip and one in the hole- Girl driving was speeding and I had an open beer - Cop asked to search - I didn't know the CA weapon transport laws). I managed to get off easy somehow due to my history, job and story. Got probation deferral for the weapon charge, wiped off my record also - no lawyers involved. The girl never even got so much as a ticket.

Personally, I think I'd snap if sentenced to any kinda time behind bars. Those prior two nights I had been drinking and to me it was no big deal back then. But now... I really think I'd snap. Shit, I feel like snapping now and I have not done anything yet. I could handle solitary for the entire time... but being around people in jail would make me snap. My patience is gone. I'm already at the point where I don't give a shit about living or dying. I've lived more in 48 years than most have in 100. The only thing that has saved me so far was 15 years ago when I met my wife cause I was falling over the edge back then because my life didn't matter to me. It would not be good for anyone involved for me to face that kind of thing even now. I've already died more than a few times so I am not one bit scared to face it again. This may sound severe to some, but I know myself and my history well enough and really don't care. I did voluntary time in a veterans psych place many years ago but the Doc's are also fucking nutz if you ask me, and I told them that. I spoke to a conferance room full of quack doc's and shot their bullshit down. The Army gave me an honorable discharge after I served my time but with a psych RE code. My commander said everyone wanted to boot me from the Army but I always did whatever asked of me and did it better than anyone else could ever do it. I don't look for or do anything right now that would get me incarcerated but would not deal with it mildly if I was in a bad situation and threatened with incarceration of considerable time. That option is not in my personal constitution. I'm surprised I've made it this far in life. Like I said... There are two kinds... so God must know my limits and has somehow prevented me from facing that option, although he sure has made up for it in other areas of my life. I guess I'll chat with the Big G about it all when I face him.

I know that what I've said here dosen't mean a hill of beans to you in your situation but somehow I feel a little better having said what I did. Seeing it in writing brings it to the surface again for me. It's what I deal with each day. I love my wife but don't really care much about my own life. I have told her about how she has helped me and she knows, but the rest is between me and God and she does not know about that, nor can I tell her since there is nothing further she can do for me. Personally I feel glad that she would get a nice chunk of cash when I'm gone to make life better for her and my grown son in Philly. This is my jail...myself.

Good Luck Dude. I really hope that something good comes out of this situation for you and that you somehow change things in your life for the better. Just do the best you can with what you'll have when you get out.  

hopefully its county and u still need to keep a low pro.........this shit about kicking some guys ass just because   is bad advice IMHO    if u need to kick some ass   u will know it also sounds like u kept quite.  i hade 2 get out because u cannot trust ne1 

BOL 

You could bide your time by researching the appeal process. Your lawyer sucked. You practically got the maximum sentence in one of the most lenient states in the country. As it is, you will do 4.5 months tops, but you need to research alternatives to jail time, including work release. Your sentence of straight jail time makes no sense for the crime you committed.

If you need some tangible advice, adhere to the counsel of Prison Mike

How do you serve 9 months in County on a 20lb bust? That's State or Fed time.

I'd make a deal and move to Nepal andstart a clean slate. No way would I set foot in one of those places.

The best overall advice so far.

"Man up" and you must scrap if it comes down to it, so brush up on your boxing and establish from the beginning you arent "that guy." <<<
