It is big deal. ThE low level jobs will fire you when yoi don't show up. Your relationship will be affected. The familly needed you do stuff and suddenly you can't. You may have to pay money to get out even if you have done nothing wrong.

It is actually stresfull to be in jail for poor people too.

It is not a game.

The first time I was arrested, after about 3 days, one of the inmates said to me: "You don't know how to get out of here, do you?" I did not. He told me that he would be released in a couple of hours, and if I had the money for bail, he'd come and get me out.

Bless that man!

It seemed as if he had the process down.

I made more friends in jail than I did in college. But you are right - it is no fun and it is no joke. For anyone.
