And I don't regret it. It was either the Marine Corps or the sheriffs. And I had started the process when I was 17 and a half to get on with the sheriff's office, the sheriff's department there. And... It was for a civilian position working in the jails. I was like, hey, this is the custody assistant position.

Yeah. Working in jails. Yeah, man. It was the wildest experience. My 19th birthday was my first day in the jails and winding up at Men's Central Jail in downtown LA. And it was wild, dude. But it was cool because the way that this job is marketed is, hey, you're going to go and, you know, you're not supposed to have any inmate contact. You're just pushing buttons. Bullshit. Hell no. Yeah.

So in LA County is completely all the time short staffed. So it's like, hey, you're filling in. wherever we need you. So you're doing inmate contact and all the stuff that it says you're not supposed to do, you're doing it. So that was a jail, more of an interim facility as opposed to a prison? Correct. Okay. Yeah.

So in LA County has this very robust, that's still not enough space, but gosh, I'd have to count on my hand or probably your hands, the amount of facilities they have. Jails? Yeah.

Yeah, you know, and so California laws are funky, right? Among many things in California. Among other things, yeah. So I think it was AB 109 was passed, and it basically said, hey, you know, you're convicted of this crime, but you're going to spend time in the L.A. County Jail, which... would be way worse than going to prison because at least the prisons, you get a little bit more freedom.

You get radios, you get some other cool stuff. Yeah. Yeah. So you have a little bit more because it's long term. Like if you're going to spend 40 years in a prison, they're going to give you a little bit more on the amenity side of things. Whereas a jail is meant to be more short term.

Right. Right. But, uh, you know, that's how we catch lawsuits and we hurt feelings and feelings are what matter most.
