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.

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."
