General population.
I'm *NOT* a "sex offender".
I posted "obscene material".
"Material" that THREE local judges wouldn't even issue search-warrants
for, even when I admitted writing and posting such stuff.
That's rather like calling a Murder-Mystery-Writer guilty of
"manslaughter" because he/she described such a horrific scene in gory
detail from the perpetrator's viewpoint.
See the post I made about what it was like.
Supposedly "much worse" than a "normal" Federal Prison.
(Where I was supposedly heading for a minimum-restriction place.)
Except for some stupid rules requiring a prisoner to show up, eat, be
counted, and such, I could practically sleep through a couple of years
of that. I've lived through MUCH worse.
No ... The WORST part would be:
A. Lack of good reading-material.
B. Losing most of the stuff I've saved up for all my life.
On the other hand ....
MOST of that "stuff" I got for the WIFE, not me.
SHE wanted "Nice Things": House, car, furniture, dishes, etc.
I got them for her.
Didn't make much nevermind to ME.
But, I promised her that if she'd marry me (over 40 years ago) she
would HAVE nice things because I'd GET them for her. I did.
Now, where she's moving-to, she can't take them with her; and she
can't move back in with me, because *I* can't take care of her.
Rats.
So, the "nice things" bit, except for her jewelry and such, is pretty
much moot. *I* am comfortable with furniture that supports my butt, a
working computer with newsgroup and email access, a local library, a
cat or two, and enough food so I don't starve or get TOO bored.
Oh yeah: And being able to spend a few hours every week or so with the
wife. I'm addicted to her company. Time on the telephone with her
HELPS; but just isn't quite the same thing. Rather like weaning a
heroin-addict by supplying only oxycodone. If she dies, the
withdrawal-symptoms will be excruciating.
