I have been inside of several county jails. no, i am a convict! many of the girls i have be-friended who are doing "county jail time", tell me they can't wait till they actually get into the state prison system, they have better food, chances at schooling themselves and more personal "contact" visits with loved ones. County jail is hard time to them.
And in prison they can buy their own food, snacks, etc as well as smokes, sodas etc. They may have arts & crafts, movies, etc. A way better situation then sitting in jail.
