As a former police chief once told me . . . he found it very unbelievable that someone I know "forgot about spending a night in jail" once upon a time. He declared the individual "unsuitable" . . . and so would I (and I don't know why this person spent a night in jail)!
Having been in jail cells as part of my job as a LEO, I can tell you that there is no way that I would ever have forgotten if I wasn't free to walk out of it when I felt like it! I found it unnerving just being in a cell even though I wasn't being detained. One Boston Marathon, the Hopkinton PD was so over-run with LEOs that they told us to use the urinals in the cells . . . even though I knew that the cameras were turned off, I found the experience very disconcerting!
Scared straight!
