23 Ex-Cons Share The Craziest Things They’ve Witnessed in Jail

The largest and scariest man in the entire prison was bat sh*t crazy, they would catch him pulling his finger nails off and shit. One day large crazy guy gets pissed at the guy in the cell next to him so he decides to start slowly pounding at the wall. COs decided to intervene when the other prisoner started freaking out because small bits of the wall were coming off. They sprayed the big guy, he laughed and literally licked the mace off himself so they rushed in to restrain him. 4 powerlifter size guards on top of him, flat to the floor and the guy bangs out a few push ups and says “I’m good now”.

I’m a type 1 diabetic, and due to some shenanigans with a couple of friends, we ended up in lockup overnight. It was pretty sh*tty, as they took my insulin pen as well as my needles and glucose meter. When I needed to test my blood sugar at night (I was there for 10 hours in a cell by myself) I had to ask the guard going around if he’d bring it to me. I don’t typically need it at night, but I did then, and it took an hour for them to bring it to me.

I was in the circle with this guy who was a diabetic an the c/o’s denied him his medicine saying he was a liar and he really didn’t have diabetes. He ended up dying the next day.

The craziest sh*t I saw was an HIV positive prisoner who put his blood on arrows that were shot at the guards. The bow and arrows were made out of newspapers that were petrified with toilet water.
