Q. I know i have to go to court and from court to jail and then to prison correct? so how long does it take to go from jail to the prison? Also I hear alot about intake will there be an intake at the jail and prison? if so are the intake process any different between the 2?
A. In Texas, figure about 40 days to get from jail to prison. The state has to start paying the county to house you after 45 days, which is something they don't want to do.
If you're ever stayed overnight at a jail, you know what intake is there. It's everything that happens from the time you first walk in the door and someone asks you if you have medical problems to the time you reach your bunk...fingerprints, mug shot, interview, etc.
Intake for prison is a little different. You strip and change out of your jail uniform into a transport uniform, get chained up, and get on the van with any other women going to prison. They take you across state to the intake facility. Intake then takes a couple of weeks, after which you sit around waiting to get transferred to your permanent unit. The whole process takes about a month.
In Texas, the first thing that happens is a strip search and property inventory...you get told what you can keep, what you have to send to relatives, and what gets thrown away. They inspect you head to toe and note all your scars and tattoos. You shower and dress, and go to a place called the "dog pound" (because it has open cells that resemble a giant dog pound). I think it's about 4 women to a cell. From there, it's just like checking into a jail...hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait...except that every time they take you out for something, they return you to your cell when you're done.
During intake, you'll get complete medical and dental exams, various psychological tests, an IQ test, tests to see how much high school stuff you remember, etc. The idea is to see if you need any particular classes and such. Part of this is the Sociology I and Sociology II tests. They are the exact same test...questions about your crime, your family life, you history, how you get along with people. The difference is that during Sociology I, the questions are "straight"...they just ask, and you answer. During Sociology II, they try to push your buttons. Same questions, but they try to stress you out to see how you act under pressure. To pass Sociology II, just give the same answers, and don't lose your cool.
After about a month in intake, you'll go to your assigned unit, where you'll spend most of your time. Near release, they may move you to another facility to do "pre-release classes".

Where do neo Nazi skinheads with noticiable facial tattoos find jobs?
Q. Watched a History Channel show about neo Nazi skinheads.
They showed fellows with swastikas tattooed on their throats and elsewhere.
They'd have to wear a turtle neck sweater all the time to conceal it.
How do these fellows get past a job interview?
For the most part, what do skinheads do to earn a living?

A. You mean being in prison isn't considered a JOB?
Actually, I have a noticeable tat on the back of my neck. It's not a fylfot (swastika to you, most likely, a sacred symbol for thousands of years sadly corrupted by jerks) or even something that most people would recognize, but it's enough for me to know that if I get my hair cut short (as I do in the summer) I also have to buy some of that very expensive pasty makeup stuff that's made to cover heavy scars and tattoos. I also have to mix it so it's pale enough to cover it and still match my skin. I'm guessing when they get out of the joint, they might do the same thing - just cover their tats.
Edit: I should mention I don't care enough what others think to cover my tats most of the time. Once in a while I do so just to be polite/not give someone's granny a heart attack. You'd be amazed how many people have a problem with tattooed women (not to mention the whole "Nordic Heathen" thing)
