Well, I recently got charged with Breaking and entering, I did this on Devils night with 6 friends, some people say cops are all over on that night, they are, but I didn't get caught until Halloween night. We stole a gun out of a gun box, (I didn't touch the gun), a Xbox, Ps3, a few phones, and I think an iPod, and $31. They only caught me and one other, the one they caught they told him if he snitches one of his friends he'll be off the hook, he told them my name, of course they lied to my friend and they're booking us both, I spent the night in Juvi Halloween night, It's not fun, let me walk you through what happened.
Well I got there and I had to get fully naked in front of a man and have him search me, he gave me boxers, and a long night shirt, he then walked me to my room.
I got to my cell and it was horrible, it had a sick attached the the toilet, the toiler was steel and very disgusting, there was 3 buttons, 1 to flush, 1 for hot water, 1 for cold water, I soon discover the hot water does not work, I refused to take a shit until after my hearing to see if they were going to let me go.
5 A.M. I was woken up along with everyone else getting very loud bangs on their doors, the man gave me a small shampoo packet and said, "You have 3 minutes, when i bang on the door it means u have 1 minute left." It was burning hot water, I did what I did and went back to my room to get dressed.
I got there, there were long grey think socks, shit brown boxers, tan pants with the letters "****** Co. Juvenile Home" Down it, the stars are my city name, Co. stands for County. A tan jean shirt, A orange sweater, and a white tee. All cloths besides the socks had ******* Co. Juvenile Home written somewhere upon it. So I got dressed, they gave me the toothbrush and toothpaste and I brushed my teeth, I then when to the mess hall for breakfast, was Cheerios cereal and pears. I didn't eat. I got to school and the procedure to switch classes, they are very careful with that, you don't get shoes, you walk around in your socks ALL DAY. We bascially did nothing until it was time to switch classes at 11:00. We got out at 11 and went to another class, did nothing until Noon, we then went to eat lunch, for your first day, they pick a seat for you and you're there for every meal forever. I was at a table with 3 other boys with a full table. The food is horrid. You don't get to choose what you eat, they gave me ham and Swiss on wheat bread, Stale bread, 95% of the ham was fat, and the cheese was gross as fuck.
Then we went back to our rooms for about 30 minutes to go to the bathroom and brush our teeth, back to class, again did nothing until 2:30.
Then they called us out for store, you get 74 points a day, you can spend those points on all kinds of things, you can pay 30 points to play cards for an hour with everyone in the afternoon for that day, or a small treat, large treat, pop, a phone call, etc.
Sadly I didn't have enough points to do anything, I earned 8 from when I got there the night before, So I said there until 4:30 which was my hearing, It was over webcam (Polycom) and the judge gave me a list of rules to follow if I was going home, she let me go home that day but my court date is on Nov. 20th and I probably will get more time.
That's my experience in Juvi, don't go there.
