My sister was locked up at vienna. She was in the bootcamp though, its not the same grounds but is the same admin. The bootcamp was minminmin-sec.

I am familiar. The male bootcampers would occassionally come through the regular prison gates for a day or two and do menial tasks. I kind of wish I was given the bootcamp option, but it's for people who have more time to do and the state's attorney wanted me to do 'real' time.

A few friends of mine went through a similar situation to yours, and all ended up in bootcamp. My senior year of high school (spring 2001) four guys in my class were arrested for LSD possession with one arrested for intent to sell (approx. 200 hits on him). The county prosecuter tried to use the case for his political gain. The whole thing was being investigated for a few weeks after one guy (some random buyer) was found with a few hits on him when stopped in C-U (seeing LSD in a [censored] area of urbana sparked alot of interest from the police i guess). Anyways, the prosecuter had all the kids arrested at high school in the middle of the day, news cameras happened to be there, and the prosecuter was all over the local news bragging about how they had put a stop to a high school "LSD ring."
In the end, 3 of the 4 ended up with bootcamp (one got basically a slap on the wrist, it was always thought that there was some snitching involved, but don't really know). Those three were all initially charged with class X felonies (i'm not sure if they were the small or big class X ones), but ended up with bootcamp as they were all essentially first time offenders. Also, the kid with 200 hits was obviously dealing, and had actually sold to the random guy in urbana who was caught with 2 hits to start the whole investigation.

This was all at st. joseph-ogden high school, not sure if you're familiar, but it's right outside of C-U. There were also 2 kids arrested as a result of the investigation at mahomet seymour high school, but I have no idea what their fate was.

Just thought i'd share the story, it's a shame you couldn't have gone through the bootcamp program. From everything I remember at the time, it seems like it was designed almost specifically for cases like yours. Great story though, thanks for taking the time.

You can get solitary for things like drugs, fighting, gambling, weapons...

Awesome thread. Read the whole thing - thanks for posting. My question is what were your feelings as you first go to prison? Were you freaked out/scared or had your already shut that down and gone into survival mode?

Could you elaborate on the treatment of Asian-American inmates? Any specific incidents of note that was racially motivated?

On a related note, I found this gem in the inmate search. This guy really makes us look bad- check out his Offense:

MT2R,

Awesome trip report. I am really impressed by how well you seem to have handled the whole situation, from the time inside to getting your life back on track again afterwards. You have my utmost respect for all of that and I hope that things work out for you regarding employment, etc down the line.

What was your relationship(s) with your cellie like? Did you engage him a bit more than the general population, or did you maintain the same attitude of minding your business and never really saying anything?

Were there any other kids in prison that were in similar situations, i.e. younger white guys who weren't the type anybody would except to end up doing time?

Is there a way to get thrown into solitary without fighting? It sounds like the best move is to angle for solitary, but I'm not sure I would want to provoke an ass-beating just to get there.

There isnt a huge waiting list to get into solitary... Why again would you want to go to solitary?

Please show us more pictures of your boat Indiana.

MT2R,

Great thread. Almost makes me forgive your horrible 2p2 handle.
