I’m sharing this under the promise that it won’t come back to bite me on the bum. Not a prison, but a police custody suite. It was a horrible, demoralising, undignified experience that haunts me every day. Stay out of that system if you can and be careful if you’re ever in MH crisis - they might just take you to one (this is what happened to me)

Edit: (very important) this is just my personal experience, it’s not fact for everyone so please no one take it as such.

So sorry to hear this @independent_ You're so brave for sharing your experience with us

Not much fun.

Though I never got a custodial sentence I did spend 2 weeks on remand when I was 19. Was not a pleasant experience and quite scary.
