I just did a background check for some upcoming work in a correctional facility. Looking forward to that one even less than the morgue work I did in VGH last year.
Pretty weird feeling repairing a ceiling next to the rack of long horizontal refrigerators...
I've been inside several prisons. All for work related activity I hasten to add. They don't look like fun places to work, never mind being incarcerated

Epic opportunity for a dark prank.
My uncle spent 3 years in prison in Ontario after being caught with 100 lbs of weed in the 80's. He wouldn't get into it when I asked, but he told me he would do anything to never go back. I don't think he was anyone's boyfriend or anything, but it's a hard life and the psychological effect of being useless to help his struggling family on the outside was really hard on him. He moved to BC from Ontario as soon as he got out to avoid falling back in with the same people.
On the other hand I also know a guy from Pemberton that was busted flying a chopper full of weed into the US and he said it wasn't as bad as he expected, but he did have to play basketball for better food. He hung out with the guys that tunneled in the US and were also caught.

You OK?
Now that you ask, no I'm not really doing OK psychologically lately. But these threads are somewhat therapeutic.
Sorry to hear man. Remember you can call 988 at any time to speak to someone and get help. Or the nurses hotline 811. Counselling can help. Friends and family can be good at lending an ear. And of course shitposting on the internet is always fun :D

It would be and is hard. And reality is any amount of time in conditions where you can only do what allowed, everything restricted, and limited allowed access to the real world has a huge long term psychological effect. It changes how you behave and all that goes with it. And then add in the impact of transition back into the "normal" world and society where most do not have those restrictions. And being expected to simply walk it off and carry on adds more to it. Well as research has shown Transition creates even more trauma.
You mention talking about the time spent being restricted- let's call it what it is. Well, I get why anyone wouldn't talk about it. Combination shame mixed with how do you talk to people who will never grasp even 25% of what it is like.
Thinking about Covid restrictions and lockdowns. How many who have been through restrictions, controlled and locked up in some form for several years. Started spiraling because it triggered things in their brains that brought up various memories.

Want to get away with murder in Canada?? Drive a motor vehicle.

but if you wanna do the least amount of time do it with a car.
This.
Looking back at this I am more shocked I wasn't nasty saying this. Better get my wife's cooking tested to see if she is secretly adding THC and CBT to my food. LOL

Thinking of attacking random fuckfaces. Now I imagine with our legal system I'll get some slaps on the wrist like probation or house-arrest for the first 10 or 20 offences. But eventually I can see me murdering someone (accidentally wink wink so let's just say Manslaughter) so that would be, what, like 8 months in jail?
Not been in our criminal correction system myself. Fortunately. However have been controlled and restricted at one point in life that may as well have done a crime and gone to actual criminal correction system facility. I absolutely do not recommend anything close to that.

Lots of people have been there man, including myself. Just remember IT DOES get better, even though at the time, it might seem like it will never get better. It helps to vent or rant or just talk.

So Fast Orange; if you died, then it would mean you'd have to go in to work one more time. That would suck.
A lot of this kind of life is now and for some time into the bad drugs that will kill you and its run by bikers
before they ended up in the homeless camp and/or dead, some of these guys would show up at the craft brew I get talking the coke dealer, cuz he was actualy pretty smart, I would notice buddy would slipping out every 30 min to make the sale , the others were not so smart I never talked to them cuz no connection, they are now livivng in the homeless camp and at least 1/ probably both are dead
I never talked to Buddy about what he was doing cuz I don't want to know he would be " known to police " but later on he said during the years he was the big time coke dealer he has had guns pulled on him, he was carrying knives for protection, I ran into him one morning walking down a main road drinking a tall boy with a pitbull on a leash, he knew a lota sketchy people, a lot of the people he knew were dead, i pointed out he wasn't stupid he was just doing stupid things to which he replied " you know my mother sez the same thing "
Buddy finally turned his life around by doing things normal people do that criminals don't really know, like i could talk to him about it but I could tell it all just went whoosh over his head, BUT he submitted 2 years of income tax to get 8k back, He had no idea how to get credit or a mortgae but we talke him thru it, he bought RE, he got a high paying camp job paying 6 figures a year, instead of coming back to the life he goes somewhere else on his weeks out ( smart ) I havent seen him in a bit but every time I did see him he bought me a beer and said thanx for helping him
he now refers to the years in the Coke business as " a 150K a month retail business " with a straight face

I know someone serving 25+yrs hard time in a marriage he can't get out of. /s
They say the shortest sentence in the world is "I am". The longest is "I do".
lol
never heard that before
I was nervous to get married because statistics say about half of all marriages end up lasting forever.

Has to be hard and is hard to admit that. Thank you for sharing.
It isn’t easy even to an anonymous forum group to openly say not one isn’t doing well mentally.
