Sheriff Sentences Self to Jail to Find Out How It Feels Like
What does it feel like to be in jail? Sheriff Mark Curran wanted to find out, so he sentenced himself to a week in lock-up! "People who have never been in jail," he says wryly, "don’t know what it’s like to sit on the toilet in full view of everyone." Lake County, the stretch of area north of Chicago to the Wisconsin border, is a land of extremes– from the mansions of Lake Forest to the mean streets of Waukegan. The wealthy tend to be white, and the poor are usually African American or Latino. Inside the jail, the other inmates know who Curran is. Some act friendly when he says hello. Others turn away, or greet him with glares. The sheriff says he understands the reaction, "I’m just another white guy—like the prosecutor, probably; like the person who sold him down the river; like the judge." |
