Here are some actual jail facts that I have found.


1. 7 million people in the US are either in prison or jail or on probation. Thats 1 out of every 32 Americans!

Roughly. 2.2 million people are in jail or prison right now.

3. 1% of Americans in Jail are innocent, that 22000 people!

4 Jail is not free! Prisoners must work doing jobs like cooking, cleaning, etc. In order to pay for their incarceration, ranging from $2-$8 a day thats about $200 a month average!

5. Unlike our jail most guards do not carry firearms, which is why prisoners don't escape as often as we rebel!

So think about that next time your playing jail!

Did you know that the Markham juvi court (which is actually less then 30 minutes away from me >_> ) tries more cases per year than any other court in the united states (although I think they hear cases from other towns such as Robbins/Harvey/Chicago Heights/maybe South Holland to)


Yeah it's not Jail per say but this court probably sent a lot people to jail =P

Also the fact that most prisoners dont carry knifes around in the open helps, and if they do have some form of knife they are usually used on each other not the guards
 
You know there is a difference between jail and prison? Prison handles mostly prisoners that committed felonies while jails hold misdemeanors offenders.

That means our prisoners actually did not commit harden crimes because our server is called jail!
 
Did you know that the prisons in my country are overall has more stuff in it and sometimes they even have internet.

I knew that inside they have a heart :crying:
 
Are server's average guard to prisoner ratio (or ct to t) is 2:1 (2 to 1). Where as in real prisons it could be as high as 1 guard for every 100 prisoners or higher, although the average is around 1 to 80. Imagine this there are 100 people that can kill you, and all you have in a baton!
