Have you been to jail?

[MunchyBrain]

It is true. This was in Denmark, though, so I don't know if the laws are the same as in the UK (if that's where you are). Maybe I should investigate and sue them. That emergency button incident has seriousely tramatised me!

Yeah, I know nothing about Danish law. In the UK, you have to sue within a few years or you can't, though.

You can't be charged with anything under the age of 10. The police will take kids back to their parents house, but not to a cell at the age of 5. In the UK.

The dibble took his mum and therefore left with no choice but to take the 5 year old child along with her as they couldn't leave him / her on his own. The child wasn't arrested.

Yes, I know the dibble took his/her mum, but they shouldn't have locked the kid in a cell on his/her own at the age of 5. I was merely letting the poster know the laws regarding what age a child can be charged.

Oh, I wasn't on my own, I was in the cell with my mum.
I guess they did what was the most practical solution at the time.

Yeah, this was 25 years ago, so probably too late.

What do they do in the UK if a woman has to go to prison and she has a very small child, like under three years old. Does the child go with her, or does it have to be taken away? Reading up on this, I learned that in Denmark, a child under the age of three will usually follow the mother to prison, because they think it is less traumatic for a child to be in prison than to be separated from their mum.

I've never been to jail because I've never been caught.

I like that.

But that's not the question being asked. I have been to two jails, but have not been jailed. Yet.

Once. I was eighteen and I'd been to a work's Christmas party, got v.v.v.v.v.v drunk with my boss and we led in the middle of the road singing Spanish Christmas carol's in the pissing down rain.

It was quite fun actually.

Why did they lock you up for singing Spanish Christmas carols? Surely it's not illegal to be drunk?

1) It is, after all, 'Kill-Joy Britain'
2) We were led in the middle of the road, apparently, being obstructions to traffic and public nuisances.
3) The World is Full of Crashing Bores

Tried to get into Kilmainham Gaol after the last Moz Dublin concert (gaol bed & bread would have saved me the cost of my stay at the Hilton across the road).... public sector strike though... so couldn't get in... just not destined for a criminal life.
