King County Jail system is "Natzi Blue" (ref: Spiral Dynamics)

Well,

Didn't I just have the most amount of fun this past weekend... Saturday night I managed to get myself arrested after pissing off a limo driver (details withheld pending hearing)...

For a little relevant background  I shattered  my right elbow about 3 1/2 weeks ago in a bicycling accident and the bones are pined and plated together so I don't have a cast, and this particular evening I didn't even have it in a sling on because the physical therapist wants me to wear it as little as possible.

So, I  tell the arresting officers that my right arm is broken, and of course they don't believe me, and wrench my arm around and put me in handcuffs, stuff me in the cruiser, we go to the precinct, they take me out of the car, and I tell the officers again that my right arm is broken, now the older one starts to believe me so he puts two pairs of handcuffs together so  my arm is more relaxed. Also The older officer lts me take a call on my cell phone, It's my friend Sylvia, I tell her I've been arrested, and I'll call her later.

After some time at the precinct they decide the're going to charge me and take me to King County Jail For in-processing... During in-processing I tell them my right arm is broken, a nurse looks at the scar, and decides it's probably true, and i tell them i take asprin several times a day for the pain which they seem ok with...

 After in processing, and waiting around a couple of hours they take us upstairs to decide where we are going to sleep for the night, and they dump us off in a "recreation" room while they finish sorting out what bunks we get (probably not 'till morning)...

 I'm trying to get comfortable on a couple plastic chairs and get a little shut eye, but my arm is really starting to bother me, I go to intercom and tell the guard, and she says they don't dispense aspirin any more. I say "So, what happens if I pass out from the pain?" and she tells me "They've got me, and to go sit down"...

 So I sit down, and my are is really throbbing from being "tweaked" around earlier, I'm having much worse pain than I've had since I got out of the hospital, so I start to go into an "active" meditation usually known as "rebirthing", which is basically breathing like you're running really hard, except you're just sitting, with this I added my own little "touch" which was a high piched wail on every out breath, to let the guards know that "something is happening"... After several minuets of this they come and take me out of  the "rec" cell and put me in the "visitors" isolation booth... I continue... Finally they come in and I've gone so deep into the process I don't acknowledge them... I think they're telling me to shut up but I can't really hear them over my wailing...

 Now,  a "bunch" (4,5,6?) Jailers grab ahold of me  wrench my arms behind me, stand me up and start "walking" me somewhere... Now I'm screaming out in pain and keep repeating "I need medical attention, my arm is broken"... They take me to an isolation cell, and I continue to scream in pain because they now have my broken right arm over my head, behind my back, and I keep screaming that "the arm is broken"  and they shove me face down on the floor, strip my pants off and spray a "large quantity" of pepper spray in my face, and they release me and back out of the room, and shut the door...

 Now I'm face down on a concrete floor my face is burning and I'm chocking and can barley breathe from pepper spray, and my arm hurts more than it did when it was originally broken... I get to me knees and to my feet and try to find something to wipe the pepper spray off my face, and I start using my shirt, while gagging and chocking...

after some time some other Jailers come in, I run to the corner to get away from them like a beaten dog...  They say there not going to hurt me and tell me to put my pants back on, with is difficult in my current condition, but I somehow mange to pull them back on...

 Now they ask me whats wrong and I tell them that my arm is "broken and i need medical attention"... They say ok but that I have to get "cleaned up" first, and take me to a "mop sink" so i can rince the pepper spray off my face, which of course hurts like hell, because water reactivates it...

Finally they take me up front and a nurse sees me and they decide to take me to the hospital, so the put me win "walking chains" and take me down into  a car to the hospital...

 As I enter harborview emergency room in ans orange "jail outfit" and chains escorted by the jailers, I'm still having trouble recovering from the pepper spray. They sit me down in a chair and give me "a bucket" because all kind of shit is pouring out of my mucus membranes, as my body tries to rid its-self of the pepper spray. I sit there hacking, coughing, and spitting for a while. After some time someone asks whats wrong with me, and I say my arm is broken, and it is very painful, because the jailers had my arms behind my  back over my head. they seem to believe me and transfer me from being in chains to having one arm and one foot cuffed in a hospital "restraint" bed... I tell the Jospitail security and Jailers that I didn't know I was such a "dangerous criminal"... They of course say "its just procedure"... I go to X-ray and have someone of my arm then, back in the corridor.

Finally after a couple hours  the doctor sees me, and asks me what my pain level is I tell her 7-8, Then she asks me what happened and I start sobbing uncontrollably, she ask me if i'm sobbing because of the pain in my arm, or because of what happened... I tell her both... And keep crying for several minuets, until I can tell her what happened, she seems concerned, and says   an orthopedist will see me "soon"...

But my pain level seems to be totally ignored... Now this is in GREAT contrast to when I originally broke my arm and went to harbor view... Then they we're VERY concerned with my pain level, and immediately put me on morphine drip, though I have my reservations about narcotics, I  was appreciative for the pain relief... THEN my pain level was only at 4-5... tonight, with my pain level at 7-8 no one seems to "give a fuck". I guess since I'm a "dangerous criminal" I must be trying to scam them of drugs or something...

 So I Lie there for several hours more, until the orthopedist on call sees me... He says my Unlar nervehas "been Irritated" and It will settle down "eventually"... The attending doctor writes me a prescription for Motrin, and releases me back to the jailers... MY arm still hurts at a 6-7 level and no one gives a fuck...

 We go back to the jail, (its now around 7am) and they put me in the isolation cell where they pepper sprayed me earlier... The water doesn't work... A jailer comes by every half an hour to check on the inmates... Every time one comes by I ask If I can use a phone... They say latter... I ask if I can have some water... I am ignored... This goes on all day... I change my request to "I'd like to speak with my lawyer".. They say I will eventually... This goes on all day until 3:30... My friend Sylvia shows up to visit me, So to jailers escort me from my cell to the visiting area. I see Sylvia, and start crying again, I ask her to bail me out, so she goes and arranges that... Now a single female jailer comes to take be from the visiting to my cell... she wants to handcuff me, I show her my harbor view paperwork and tell her my arm is broken and "no cuffs" she doesn't believe me but I don't let her take me, so she goes and checks and gets the two jailers who escorted me originally. The escort me back to my cell (no cuffs) but one says "don't give me this shit about you're arm they brought you in cuffs yesterday" and I respond and that's why I went to harborview", and he says "yea, but you WERE in cuffs" and I reply "that's why I went to harborview" Then as we get to my cell he says "Next time I see you, you're going in cuffs", and puts me in the cell.

I wait about an hour and somone comes to release me, I go downstairs, get my property, and am released from jail... I wanna start crying and kisssing the ground, but I catch a bus to get as far away from there as possible....
