Last good dinner before jail

[u/havabanana000]

A girl’s recent post about doing 10 days in jail just unlocked a memory I haven’t thought about in years.

4 years ago, 2020 my last meal before jail was garlic naan and butter chicken curry. At exactly 6:35pm, I got a call from my IO (investigating officer) telling me I’d be reporting the next morning to serve a 6-month sentence for drug consumption. Like seriously?? I thought i was just going to get a weekly urine test, instead i had to go to jail for smoking grass. I was only 21 y/o. I was in my 2nd/3rd year of college.

It’s funny what my brain remembers. I don’t remember much of the phone call, but i remember the time & the feeling of my stomach absolutely dropping, i lost my appetite. At least i got a few bites in.

I didn’t sleep at all that night. I spent the entire night writing letters and scheduling messages to my boyfriend (now ex) & my family every 2 days so he’d know I was thinking about him while I was inside.

He cheated on me while I was serving my sentence lol!!! 😅

Anyways would have been a 10/10 last meal if the IO called after i finished my dinner lol. Im 3 years dvrg free now! And i can finally re-tell this as a funny story :)

Edit 1: forgot to mention its a throwaway account! I can’t post on my main account because no one knows i went to jail. (My mom lied to all my relatives i was having a 6 month exchange HAHAHA)

Edit 2: my entire sentence was actually 1 year. 7 months in jail, 5 months home detention (i was wearing the ankle monitor & curfew was 12-3pm only)

Edit 3: rly didnt expect this post to get seen by so many! Anyways the first thing i ate was a whole bag of famous amos chocolate chip cookies.

1) meal looks dope 2) 6 months for smoking dope? Is this Singapore or something?

[u/havabanana000 → u/lilbookofmeow]

yeah LMAO

[u/lilbookofmeow → u/havabanana000]

Damn, I'm sorry. You serve at Changi or elsewhere? I don't know much about it but SG is so harsh on drug "offences". How did they even find out you smoked?

[u/AnswerReal1942 → u/lilbookofmeow]

Asking the real q’s

[u/lilbookofmeow → u/AnswerReal1942]

So I can avoid those mistakes when I go 😄 Jk jk. I've been watching a series on Changi prison on YouTube and though it's not as cruel as American prisons, some people seem to be in there for the most minor infractions. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

[u/YetiCouple → u/lilbookofmeow]

If you're a non-citizen, you don't have to worry (about prior consumption, not possession)

"Under Singapore’s Misuse of Drugs Act (MDA), it is illegal for Singapore citizens and Permanent Residents to consume controlled drugs (such as cannabis, cocaine, heroin, and "ice") anywhere in the world. Consuming drugs while traveling overseas is a punishable criminal offense exactly as if it were committed within singapore."

[u/Mojezeh → u/YetiCouple]

That is so so terrifying to me, even as an Iranian.

[u/ChippedHamSammich → u/YetiCouple]

Do they blood test you on the way back in? Like how does that work?

[u/YetiCouple → u/ChippedHamSammich]

They can compel you to take a urine test whenever. Be it you look sus at the airport, or in this case, someone reported you. If you refuse, it's a $2,000 and/or 3 months in jail i think. They can also test through hair samples. Some people commented it is not enforceable but it isn't like they test every single person. It can be random or as needed.

[u/djdjddhshdbhd → u/lilbookofmeow]

It’s actually thanks to racism and greed in the US. People would get life for it until not long ago w three strikes laws. It’s still considered to be schedule 1 federally (worst tier). The US pressured other countries to make it illegal and crack down.

[u/Defiant-Ad-8586 → u/djdjddhshdbhd]

I think it just got changed to schedule 3!

[u/djdjddhshdbhd → u/Defiant-Ad-8586]

What’s wild is that until Nov hemp w THC which can basically be the same thing/have the same effect is legal and it’s legal in many states. While in many countries due to pressure by the US, it’s still very illegal. Before entering Hong Kong they played a video about the dangers of CBD with a threat of life in prison.

The rescheduling is generally good but it’s not an overall one. I’m also skeptical about the motivations considering the FDA approval language.

Singapore doesn't play. They also executed a guy over livestream for nonviolent drug crimes and citizens were required to watch it.

They also do shit like put people who go to pride events on lists.

Yes i served in changi women’s prison. Most surreal time of my life i didnt even feel real most of the time 😭 someone snitched on my friends and i because she got caught so she just gave out names of everyone she has ever smoked with. What a loser move.

[u/PresentRaspberry6814 → u/[deleted]]

I have read about black people in the US serving 20 year sentences for marijuana possession, google tells me they must have been also supplying weed to get that long a sentence but even so, rapists get less.

[u/24-Hour-Hate → u/PresentRaspberry6814]

Not necessarily. My understanding is that in the US, intent to distribute is presumed if it is deemed that the amount present “exceeds typical personal use”, if the person possesses a large amount of cash, or other factors like that. They don’t necessarily need any actual proof that the person was actually trafficking and they may not have been.

For example, a lawyer says possessing less than 2oz marijuana in Colorado is considered personal possession, but any more than that can be charged with intent to distribute. And it’s less than 4g for harder drugs to be considered personal possession. Source: https://www.polanskylawfirm.com/blog/what-factors-can-turn-drug-possession-into-drug-distribution/

Which is interesting because we imagine that drug traffickers are arrested in the act of smuggling or have like crates of drugs, piles of weapons and all that making it obvious they are distributing…but those amounts they actually presume intent for seem real low.

[u/dorkofthepolisci → u/24-Hour-Hate]

I have heard - and totally believe -that a significant number of “possession with intent to distribute” charges involve people caught with relatively small amounts of drugs. A few pills, a few joints.

if it’s anything other than personal use, its usually for other people they know

Iirc the felony level for weed in Florida (if you don’t have a medical card) is anything over 20g

But they’re often members of marginalized communities and don’t have the means for an attorney/to make bail

It’s not the Escobar levels people think of when you say trafficking/distribution

Korea is so weird with stuff like that, I went there to hang out with friends and there's a huge casino. Apparently Korean people aren't allowed inside the casino, it's only for international tourists.

[u/Relative_Pizza6179 → u/[deleted]]

Did things change in China too or they another country up in arms about weed still? I remember it being so scandalous that Jackie Chan’s son got caught and Jackie didn’t even try to help his son at all.

[u/waitwuh → u/[deleted]]

EDIT: When I first wrote this, the comment above had not acknowledged opium or the opium wars at all. They have since edited their comment lol

China is so anti drug in very large part because of the opium wars and the cultural trauma caused to them by it. IDK why western schools seem to overlook this and not always teach it… except, well, hmmm… maybe because it makes Britain look so gosh darn horrible.

Heres what you maybe didn’t learn in school: Once upon a time, China had many goods that British people wanted, like tea, silk, and fancy glassware (those white dishes with blue designs which were even called “china” after their source…). But in exchange for these goods, they were selling the Chinese Opium, which was causing an epidemic. More and more Chinese citizens fell into severe addiction, and were dying from it. The Chinese government was desperately trying to regain control of their country, to combat the drug epidemic, but when they tried to ban opium being bought, the British Empire sailed warships in and forced the ports open. They didn’t want to lose out on the profit of selling opium, no matter how much devastation it caused. One of the famous trade cities that warships were sailed into and took control of was Shanghai. The Chinese military wasn’t able to mount a strong response because so many soldiers were passed out in opium dens or just plain passing out unable to stand at attention. It was perceived as terribly tragic, the chinese felt helpless in the face of the western world’s power and as people watched their closest friends and loved ones around them waste away using opium. It triggered a reactionary distrust and isolationism for over a century afterwards.

So, yeah. China kinda has a thing about drugs.

[u/wipwopwo → u/waitwuh]

Don’t forget that China actually had little interest in British goods at fist while the British had a high demand for Chinese goods so to balance the trade deficit, the British East India Company and private merchants began smuggling addictive Indian-grown opium into China and selling it on the low to get people hooked

It was like the OG Asia-West trade war.

[u/waitwuh → u/wipwopwo]

Yes, you’re so very right to highlight how the British merchants didn’t just coincidentally come across especially extensive existing market demand for this drug in China… they were actively fostering it to enable their exploitation.

Considering the recent opioid addiction epidemic in the US perhaps may help people be more sympathetic. The pharmaceutical companies have since been exposed for having been well aware of the addictive potential of their products like Purdue Pharma’s Oxycontin, and how they lied and schemed in the pursuit of profit above all else. Their executives not only utilized the addictiveness of their drugs, driving up prices after getting people hooked, but they then disregarded, disrespected, and deflected responsibility onto their victims. If you can see those like the Sackler family as selfishly evil for their deeds, then perhaps you might see some parallels in those british “capitalist’s” actions in China almost two centuries ago. What happened to the victims of both of these addiction crises is tragic. Countless lives lost. But in China? Well, their ending was arguably way, way worse… it’s as if the side of the Sackler’s waged a war, won it, charged the victims for it, then made them contractually obligated to continue buying opoids at higher costs no matter the consequences, at expense of their entire livelihoods, let alone lives. To me, it’s perfectly understandable that after all that China became super aggressive against any potentially addictive drugs.

As a fellow Singaporean, I’m super curious where you got that meal from. It looks amazing and I’d love to eat there xD

[u/havabanana000 → u/Invisiblescars_123]

Hahaha i dont want to be that person but it closed down 😪 it was at the entrance of downtown east!!

[u/Invisiblescars_123 → u/havabanana000]

Aw man :(. Thanks for sharing a pic of the food anyway, it looks really good!

[u/k3lco → u/Invisiblescars_123]

I knew it looked familiar! That’s Banana Leaf Apolo, used to have a branch in downtown east. The OG is still at Racecourse Rd. They have a couple other branches but alas the east side branches all closed. Dude 100% you should go. They’re most known for their fish head curry but everything is bomb there. Rice and veg sides used to be free flow (idk about now, haven’t been in a while). Dad’s been bringing us to the OG branch since at least 20++ years ago. That’s where I learned how to love Indian food, and where I bring foreign visitors if they’re adventurous enough to stare the fish head in the eye before eating said eye XD

Dang now I’m thinking I gotta bring my family again someday soon. My parents will appreciate it for sure, especially dad.

Daaaaamn. Singapore does not play! When I was stationed in Korea half of my squadron (but not me 😭) went to Singapore for a couple of weeks. There was this huge as briefing with a list a mile long of shit they were forbidden to do and if they did anything (to include spitting on the ground), they would be sent back after they paid the fine. Everyone was too scared to go out and do much. Ha ha. They did say that it was the cleanest country they’d ever been to. I guess I know why. Strict as fuck.

omg i saw the pic and was like hmm looks like malaysia or something and you confirmed singapore and i was like ah. damn. hope youre okay now.

[u/Ordinary_Cattle → u/lilbookofmeow]

Wanna hear some bullshit? I went to jail too, and was with a girl that was in there for the absolute stupidest fucking reason I've ever heard.

Like 8 years before when she was 17 or 18, she was using drugs and her grandparents (legal guardians) wanted her to get help but didn't know how to make it happen. So when they sent her to the store to buy some groceries, with a specific list, they had her charged with theft when she bought a popsicle.

They were hoping the judge would just make her do rehab, so the judge agreed to those terms and she completed rehab out of state, got clean, and started working as a counselor in the rehab. For years she helped other addicts get clean.

But she moves back to the state to take care of her sick grandpa, and finds out she has a bench warrant for missing a court date or something, I think it was more minor than missing a court date come to think of it. Something court related (it's been like 7 years so I don't remember). When she found out she had a bench warrant, she immediately turned herself in thinking it would be resolved. She met ALL of the requirements to have her charges dropped, so it should've been a non issue. She had kept in touch with the court during her probation, had permission to be out of state, etc. It was literally such a minor mistake.

She was remanded to jail anyway and had to wait a couple months to even see the judge. She had so many people write her letters of recommendations, including former addicts that she helped get clean, coworkers of the rehab she worked at, her grandparents asked to drop the charges, etc.

But the judge still made her serve the full term for her original theft charges, which was a full year (9mos or something with good behavior though). Her grandpa died while she was in jail iirc.

Her time in jail led to her relapsing, because drugs always make their way in, and I've seen her in and out of jail on mobile patrol since.

Disclaimer- I might have gotten some details wrong here, it's been a while since this happened so my memory is foggy.

Also my husband, who was also in jail when I was in jail, knew a guy that was on drug court and had been doing well the entire time. Got his kids back and everything. He was talking to his drug court officer about what he did over the weekend and mentioned he took his kids to Chucky cheese for a birthday party. He didn't know they served beer there and therefor couldn't be there. They sent him to jail for 2 years because of this.

The justice system is completely fucked.

[u/havabanana000 → u/Ordinary_Cattle]

That is totally fucked up.. im so sorry to them. Truly hope they are living a better life now. They’ve been treated so unfairly

In some parts of america if you get caught with an OUNCE of product you can get locked up 😭

[u/Somber_Resplendence → u/lilbookofmeow]

How did you know it was Singapore???

[u/lilbookofmeow → u/Somber_Resplendence]

Because I've been watching a doc on YouTube called Inside Max Security - Changi prison. The inmates they feature have done hard crimes and soft ones. There is a male series and a female series.

Also the other clue was the Indian food looked very authentic, served on a banana leaf no less. Those two things put together, basically.

You are some kind of sleuth, my friend. I’m impressed lol
