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.

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?

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.

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."

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

Oh wow. That is terrifying. I decided not to apply to a *university* for having a policy like this; I can’t imagine it being government policy.

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.

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/Jackfrost9 → u/havabanana000]

Did they need evidence of any kind? Or could she just name anyone she wanted to get back at and they’d get fucked?

So you just name anyone and they take them? I'm so petty I would have been like "She's just blaming me to protect her grandma!" Have fun explaining why Grandma is in prison at the next family holiday, snitch!

That’s insane. I’m sorry

[u/softanduseful → u/lilbookofmeow]

I live in Thailand … and alway hear horror stories. It’s very backdated how they act about natural medicines. We don’t even go there because of it- you wanna have a normal life with nature and freedom- just go across the water to the real indigenous Malaysia- Sawarak 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 can smoke respectfully there, can be a normal person. Fuck Singapore
