For you scout enthusiasts out there!
Jacob recently attended an outing to the Davis County Jail with his Scout Troop. I don't know what level they are all on because he is no longer in Cub Scouts and I have decided Jacob is entirely Alan's scouting responsibilty now. So, said troop attended the jail for a tour rather than incarceration thankfully, and Jacob had a great time. I'll bet you didn't know you could have a great time at the Jail House, but apparently you can. He told us all about the solitary confinment cells and the toilets in the floor. (He thought those were gross but cool). He remembered what each color of coveralls meant that the prisioners wore. Sadly I don't remember but hopefully I will never have an occasion to have to remember that kind of information. He was also facinated by the types of shanks prisoners make and thought it was good they didn't give them metal silverware to eat with anymore. He thought they let them use "foons or sporks". He couldn't remember the exact name. Apparently the people serving time didn't look too bad. I had to remind him that people in jail are not his friends. After a little more discussion I asked him what this field trip had to do with scouts. He informed me the visit was so he could earn his prisioner merit badge. [pause for laughter]
So what is the silver lining serving jail time? Credit towards your scouting requirements!
