I think you're underestimating how a lot of people live and what they value and then people are also underestimating what's bad about jail. If we assume that death and sexual assault are not going to happen in this 5 days I would guess most people would do it and from what I've read it's pretty rare for either of those things to happen in the short term jails, it's prison that's the bigger risk -- and even then apparently sexual assault is way exaggerated in the media. Can you describe what your friends have described happening in jail that makes you so against it? From the AMAs people have done on reddit about jail and prison it seems jail is something anyone with the ability to enjoy their own company can get through with ease, although I guess it could be that your country uses jail and prison as an interchangeable term?

I think you're underestimating how a lot of people live and what they value Probably, I view $10K as a lot of money but that I expect to make, and do not need to go to jail to get. If we assume that death and sexual assault are not going to happen in this 5 days You can't. You will be in a facility with people awaiting trial for murder, violent acts, prostitution, hardcore drugs etc. They may segregate them, they may not, you won’t know until you get in there. A holding cell has mainly people arrested for crimes that are not remotely serious. Can you describe what your friends have described happening in jail that makes you so against it? My 2 friends that have been to jail primarily mentioned that the people were way different and being stuck there felt much more real. Normally when people go to a holding cell our age they are not sober. After 24 hours you become pretty sober. although I guess it could be that your country uses jail and prison as an interchangeable term? I live in the US. Jails are for misdemeanors and people awaiting trail, prisons are for people convicted of felonies.
