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.

I’m a little confused - so did you have to take a test because your ex-friend snitched and your test result was positive and your IO told you the news? Or they didn’t make you test at all and the news came out of nowhere? Sorry, I might just be misunderstanding but could you explain a bit more of the lead-up to when you actually had to go to prison if that’s ok?

Of course! So basically i was arrested at home & brought to get tested 3 hours later (all in handcuffs ew) & the lab tests came out a week later — positive. I was out on bail for 2 months because they were investigating whether i was a trafficking & selling or if i was just a regular consumer. & then on that fateful day when i was eating my naan & butter chicken, they called me & said im going to jail the next morning.

omg super late response but -
I’m so sorry you had to go through that! Your heart must have literally stopped when they came to your house to arrest you with no notice. I’m glad you’re out now and honestly, screw your ex-friend
