Oh, and a metal toilet, where you would like to flush your cellmate's head.

Those days are the best, of course, because they go faster. I don't think there's any need to add rape to the day's activities.

pretty much sums it up
Our jail has other "Trusty" jobs besides the kitchen crew. You can do laundry all day, clean the shit at the dog pound, work the jail maintenance crew, sort recycling goods at the land fill, and the ever popular "road crew" (where most people start off).
Road crew - you get to walk up and down the sides of the local roads picking up trash in black and white stripes for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I did that for a month. One time a local homeless vet died, he didn’t have any family or anything, so the road crew had to dig a grave and bury the poor soul. You really, really, really think about why your in jail, what you did to get in your situation, and what you can do to NEVER GET BACK IN F'N stripes again. You do get nice sack lunches for you 20 minute lunch break - 3 slices of <b>government</b> bologna *shiver* on 2 slices of stale bread and maybe a moldy apple or orange.
Manual labor is IMHO the best crime deterrent imaginable.
