dude i have very littel sympathy for people that sell OC's, pot is one thing, but OC's that shit is no joke and leads to a fuckoad of teen overdoses... and carries minimum of 8 yrs in most states, and with the quantities you said, it sounds like its even worse

What most people don't understand that most of problems with drug use is a byproduct of prohibition. "Controlled substance" is almost a misnomer. Substances like opioids are actually uncontrolled. When you have a black market it leaves little incentive for a dealer to check for ID, or even sell a real product. Illegalizing these substances does not solve the problem.

military takes felons...

and y would u call bullshit...what would i possibly have to gain from making this up?

No they don't. I'm a veteran.....they don't take convicted felons, because they aren't legally able to be armed with a weapon again. Once you are a felon you can't bear arms in the military......ARMY anyway.....not sure about Marines. During my last deployment we had a guy who was called up but had a felony conviction, therefore he was not allowed to deploy with the rest of us......essentially he was discharged.....

Military accepts misdemeanors, but not felonies.

hey romoranger believe me i know all about the problems of prohibiting substances and i know the argument for legalizing them too. i have worked with David Borden on many occasions with DRC net and have helped promote stopthedrugwar.org but i have very little sympathy for oc dealing. its different than pot, he must ahve know the consequences of dealing this drug, its no fucking joke. i've seen what this drug can do in upper class suburbia, in 1999-2000, deaths per year were less than 1000, but from 2001- to present the deaths have more than quadrupled and the age group is under 25....

Im going to jail...im being charged with 46 counts of possession of controlled substances with intent to deliver..all felonies...im fighting it but i am going to lose...i dont know if im going to a state or federal prison though...can someone tell me what prison is really like?

by the way i was caught with 2 pounds of pot, 40 OC80's, and like a very small amount of meth...and im in pennsylvania

my friend got light probation instead of 2 years in jail, and he pulled a gun out while intoxicated at multiple people and he had a scale and shrooms and pot. my other friend was caught with 100 pounds of ganja and 10 pounds of shrooms, he did time in a half way house that he checked into at night, did school at madison during the day, and another friend who was caught with 2 kilos of cocaine, and he got probation. get a nasty junk yard dog lawyer, you will get probation, oc's and pot will not put you in jail if you fight it correctly. your mentality is that you are already going to jail. make it your lifes mission to stay out of jail, you will be successful with those weak charges. good luck my friend. i really think you can win.

Ok, here is my observations. I have never worked in a jail(county), so I can't be of much assistance there. I can tell you about state prisons, at least in my neck of the woods.

First, if you do a little county time first, don't fuck anybody up, or get any "tickets" . Your behavoir will follow you into the state system. This is where you get classified or "scored". Drug score(not good 4 you), Violence score, Education/trades....yadayada. The lower score you can get, will get you on a lower custody yard. This means more freedom for you and other inmates(and technically these inmates have less propensity to do "bad things" for fear of getting classed up to a higher yard).

When you see your counselor to get classed, tell them any line of bull that you can think of that will get you a good job in the prison. Automechanic, Building maintenance, etc. U will probably have to prove your self first on a crappy detail.

As far as prison being like "American Me" , well that depends on where u go. The more modern prison, the better. Better living conditions and safety. USUALLY, the worst prisons hold the worst inmates. Sounds like u should b ok though. I have seen violence even on minimum yards, but you REALLY have to disrespect(big time) or owe a huge gambling or drug debt.

Advice? It's going to sound contradicting, but ... don't be disrespectfull to anyone and don't be a mark(punk). Do your own time, not anyone elses. Try not to get in any gang....Aryan Brotherhood (w), Eme (M), or any others.
If you are white, you will hang with other whites, it is just the way it is.

Try not to worry to much, it doesent have to be like the movies. My first cycle was 2 months before I booted in. I too was afraid that if I didn't weigh 275 ripped to shreds, that i was dead meat. Don't believe the hype.

hope this helps-onemoreset

Who gets caught with two kilos and only gets probation ?
Where do you live, Colombia ?

Those that don't plea bargain. Besides, anything's possible. Look @ OJ.
