LA Stories pt3 county jail

My highlight of my trip to LA was I had a meeting with the chief of the LA county sherriffs department. It turns out my roomate 's mom from college knows the chief, and passed my name on to him knowing that I am interested in law enforcement. My meeting with him went pretty good, and then he offered me the chance to take a tour of the county jail. I did not want to seem ungrateful, so I accepted. Let me tell you county jail is an interesting place, and by interesting I mean scary, first place I visited was the minimum security ward, ok that was cool, next place was gen pop, now that shit was scary, and I am not a person who scares easily, I had inmates starting conversations with me talking about how clean their cells were to catching mice in their cells, i'm not gonna lie i puffed out my chest as big as I could, and dropped my voice by three octaves. The next place I visited was the gay ward, I did not know that they had a seperate place for homosexuals, and that kind of stunned me, but not as much as seeing guys with boobs, i asked my guide about their policies on tv and his response was as long as they have a dick they go in this ward. After visiting the jail, I have to admit I don't know how keen I am on working for the sherriffs dept.

Wow! That sounds frightening! What did you do when you left there? Did you go wash your hands a dozen times then make sure you didn't speed or break any laws? I would be terrified.

That sounds scary! My cousin almost applied for a job there as the person who delivers the food to the inmates, but he changed his mind.
