If prison is such a great place and a party what are you doing on the outside.
Shouldn't you be doing everything to get put in the clink.
Bingo and table tennis,mate can I have a guernsey.
If some think that is great quality of life then maybe these people would have a better life in there.

JLC,

My point was much the same as yours and was at least attempting to point that out to those intellects who believe jail is some sort of Club Med.

There is also the fact that having served time, it's on yr record for the rest of yr life and can count against you ie when looking for jobs.

Has anyone here:

choose one or more of the following

1. Been to Jail?
2. Known someone who has been to jail (ie friend relative no more than 2 degrees of separation)?
3. Worked in a jail or has known someone who has? (no more than 2 degrees of separation)
4. Been to jail for a crime they didn't commit and been part of a 4 man A-team style gang on the run?
5. All of the above.

Otherwise we are all just performing a figurative comparison of choads. Another my dads bigger than your dad chapter.

Newelly,

Did spend some time in the Sth African army slammer, got acquitted at court martial, does that qualify.
A cousin is a screw at Long Bay aka "the Malabar Hilton" or "the college of knowledge", Sydney's long time no.1 penal institution.

Sad to say that my only incarceration in Aus has been a night in the cells about 15 years ago along with the rest of my football club after a bit of hows ya father with some bikies.

By yr criteria, have some claims under category 1, 3 and 4.

This thread was spinning out of control. Thought I'd find out for myself who actually has some insight into the subject matter and who's blind but thinks they can see.

It's the off-season, gotta give some sort of leeway.

You haven't seen my bill yet Dyso. You may be able to run from the authorities but could you evade a vengeful Wombat with an unpaid bill??

Drug accused loses Pies job

A COLLINGWOOD Football Club manager accused of trading signed Magpie jumpers for drugs will not return to her job.

Sherryn Osborne had filed for unfair dismissal after being sacked over drug trafficking charges.
But the claim was resolved yesterday at a closed meeting with Collingwood officials.

The club would not disclose the settlement, but said Ms Osborne would not be getting her job back.

The former merchandising manager -- who allegedly conducted drug deals while at work -- is understood to have claimed the club did not follow due process, thus denying her natural justice.

Ms Osborne, 28, who declined to comment, was released on bail in September on charges she trafficked commercial quantities of ecstasy and amphetamines.

A court heard she was found with a number of signed Collingwood football jumpers, which she used to swap for amphetamines.

She also used a work phone to call her drug supplier and boyfriend, who is a co-defendant in the case, the Melbourne Magistrates' Court was told. The court was told Ms Osborne used drugs -- including ecstasy and so-called ice amphetamine -- weekly.

Ms Osborne is accused of traf ficking 3000 ecstasy pills between June and July, allegedly supplied by her boyfriend Shane Waters, 30, of Armadale -- the alleged principal in a $1 million drug ring involving nine defendants.

Magistrate Steven Raleigh granted bail after Ms Osborne admitted involvement and had agreed to give evidence against her eight co-defendants.

Mr Raleigh ordered Ms Osborne to live at home with her father and stepmother in Kyneton, and she is due to reappear in court for a further hearing in March next year.
