And you can just hear the screams like all day and all night of men and women withdrawing with mental health conditions.

It's a pretty horrific experience.

Kind of environment to be in.

And you're almost begging to go to prison.

Like it's wild.

Like when you're in the watch house, women are going, am I on the bus to prison today?

I want to go to prison today.

Like send me today.

Yeah.

So they put you in the prison bus and you're handcuffed, but you're also in this like very small cage.

And the cage is probably this big.

Just big enough for you to sit on a seat.

Just wider than your shoulders.

Yeah, just wider than your, you're carved and you're sitting in there and there's no seat belts and they transport you to prison and you can't see out.

You don't know where you are.

They kind of stop at other watch houses to pick up other women.

You get to prison.

You haven't showered in two weeks, basically, or brushed your teeth or brushed your hair.

You're feral.

They get you out of the bus, put you in another cell, uncuff you, and then you wait there to be processed into the prison.
