I was in court today watching a rearrangement for a defendant who was entering into a plea agreement. The judge was going through the traditional colloquy:
Judge: Are you under the influence of drugs?
Defendant: No.
Judge: Are you currently taking any prescription medications?
Defendant: Yes.
Judge: You are? [You dumbass! A simple "no" is all you are supposed to say.] Which medications are you currently taking?
Me (thinking): Please say something great like oxycotin, codene, or something great that will get you in even more trouble or invalidate your plea agreement!!!! Please!
Defendant: Valtrex.
Defendant's Husband (from the audience): WHAT?!?!?!
Judge: Do we need to take a short recess?

Things I Learned in Jail
I finally got to make a trip to the federal prison and take a tour with my summer job. I learned something very stunning: a pack of cigarettes goes for $300. The reason is that smoking has been banned in federal prisons since 2005. So as you might have guessed, the #1 contraband (and bartering item) is cigarettes. Any guess on #2? The most muled in item (and #2 contraband) is creatine.
