[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 507653"] I wanted to add that there is a real difference between jail and prison. Jail is where they hold you until trial. I don't know about where you are but when my son was in jail, the jail section was separate from the prison section. I felt (though i dont know) that those in jail are more likely to be on good behavior because they havent been convicted yet and are hopefully not going to want to do anything to make their situation worse. When I talked to my son about his 2 weeks in jail I asked him more about it. I got the feeling that the worst part of it for him was the boredom. He was scared, nothing terrible happened to him, but man he was bored to death. My difficult child does not do well with boredom. I also have to admit that he was in a situation where we could not bail him out. He was being held without bail (due to his total stupidity) and so we did not get the pleadings for us to bail him out. He was willing however to do whatever it took to get out and that included going to rehab... which is what he did. TL [/QUOTE]
