Asked him what he was doing in a few days in the evening and he told me "can't hang out, I'm in prison." He's in prison in the evenings and every other weekend.

Gave him a ride to the prison too, we stopped for burgers and he was worried he was gonna be "late for prison."

He got arrested via letter.

I dunno, system and so on, but also just... That's funny. Remove systemic critique from your mind and just grasp the concept of being late for prison. Remove the rational thought too, because it kinda makes sense to let people be in prison part-time. It's super normal. Just... Part time prison. It's funny. It's like a guy turning himself into a pickle. Funniest shit I've ever seen.

Imagine getting arrested by letter. Wouldn't be me, I'm built different (I did get arrested by letter once actually, funniest shit. Didn't show up and my mom called the police to tell them off for sending me the letter lmao. She's not important, there's no calss thing, she's just a mom. They apologised to her lol)

I need to stress this is real.

Since a lot of people read this like it's in the US and it's the US system - It's not. It's one of those damn commie scandinavian countries

    A couple years ago I worked with a guy who was on a work furlough program. He could drive from prison to work during a set time. Then he had to stay at the office during the work day. Then he could drive back to prison. He had to wear an ankle monitor the whole time. That was just for a couple months but it let him keep his job and not have a weird gap in his resume
