Slacker is going to prison for 5 years! This is NOT A Prank!

[N3gativ3sanity]

It'll be another month or so before he is fully transferred and has a permanent incarcerated address. Until then, he's been calling me about every other day, so if you guys have anything you want him to know now, let me know and I'll pass it on.

Hopefully this all works out for him in the end. How about his family? Have they been helping him or?

Prison doesn't do anything but destroy the happiness and joy inside a person. It's a warzone where people align themselves in groups according to race, and anyone with a shred of humanity left inside of them is immediately identified and taken advantage of. If you guys want to help your friend, stay in touch with him, and send him commisary money.

tell him i took his job.

Hey sknoob, you don't like what's going on in this thread? GTFO. No one has a gun to your head making you come in here. This is the s1acker thread. Not the "Look how much of a faggot sknoob is" thread. That's every other thread you post in.

[m0rdekai]

Also there's a thing called the news paper..  It was in there!

Because this is the internets, I demand the alleged newspaper article.  GO!

Win for Nod.

While I don't condone what Slacker has done, American prisons really, really bother me. Canadian prisons have a high success rate, and in Slacker's case, he'd get a year in jail and then maybe two years of probation. When you're in prison here, you have access to high school and post-secondary courses amongst many, many other support programmes.

So in Slacker's case, I think what he had done was stupid, but I feel sorry for his ass simply because you cannot really better yourself in the American prison system.

boy oh boy.  @ this thread haha

Canadian prisons suck too. Prison is bad, and it sucks to have to go there.

Prison sucks regardless of any country. However, I'd rather go to a Canadian prison before an American one and I am quite certain that you would agree with me on this one. The fact that he got five years for this speaks volumes of how draconian the American justice system is.

[logic]

well theres a reason for that 5 years i think, but yea. im not going into any of it. if he wants to tell you that stuff in his letters when i post the address(if he wants me to that is) then yea.

...and people want to give ME drugs...

yeah I feel sorry for his ass too.

If he's not the fighting type, then don't be surprised if when you visit him, his orange uniform has been bleached into a pretty pinkish shade, and he's got red kool aid powder on his lips to simulate lipstick. That shit does happen. I've been to county jail for a 3 month bit, and the old timers in there tell you some true stories about their time in prison that will scare you straight.

Guns are for cowards anyways.

But they're also for the victor.

If he behaves in prison or he has a re-trial he may have the sentence reduced heavily. So one can hope.

Someone needs to offer him a job when he gets out. Having a record pretty much guarantees a career of pushing a broom for the rest of your life, and lowers the chance of renting a decent home in a nice part of town to a negative number.

That alone should be enough to drive a sane man insane, and fuel any hatred of the criminal justice system beyond level red. So if he has a temper and or a drinking problem, he should attend AA classes while inside and ditch that evil booze before he gets caught up in a loop.

Some states have minimum mandatory sentences for crimes committed with firearms. Here in Florida it goes like this:

Use a gun while committing a felony: 10 years.
Hurt someone: 20 years.
Kill: Life in prison or death.
