But not for anything bad (don't worry) and not for very long either (they never keep people with care needs very long; too messy for them). I just might choose to go to jail for justice like Martin Luther King, for the 24th time tomorrow. The official folks told us all that we need to be down at 4AM DC time (that's a little over 7 hours from now, so I'll be hitting the sack after I post this and use the bathroom let me assure you. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers (if you pray to whomever you pray to!

You are so proud of this and yet you have chosen not to tell anyone why you would be going to jail. Maybe that's because you know what you're doing is wrong and people would be more likely to support you if kept in the dark. Sorry, I don't support illegal activity unless there's a damn good reason.

I'm sorry I was very sleepy when I wrote this, so forgive my non-clarity. I'm in Washington, DC protesting in favor of more services, supports, and badly needed housing for disabled people. I would have been clearer had I been more awake. Never start siscussions when you are tired. Get details at http://www.adapt.org

OK well your cause seems fair enough to me and a valid one, but why do you think you could end up going to jail for it or are you planning some form of direct action? (I know you posted a link but for some reason why browser won't let me access it which is annoying!)

For Justice? What praytell will you be doing that'll warrant someone wanting to arrest you? A rally, a protest?
Blessing, crip! I hope they don't handle you too harshly and that whatever you set out to do, goes swimmingly.

I'm in DC protesting for more housing and community services for disabled folks.

A good cause, dearie. Knowing how protests can go, I now see what your discussion here's about. Hopefully you get the right people's attention so that the people you're fighting for can get what they need.
For the record though, I hope you don't get arrested.
Good luck, crip!

You're in my prayers, Cripfemme. I wish I were able to go with you, to rally for what I believe to be so urgent! I'll be with you in spirit.
You are one very admirable woman!

Sounds like you need counseling rather than jail. Certainly there are diversion programs what country are you in

I might go jail for protesting to get more housing and community services for disabled people. This doesn't embaress me in the slightest. Sorry I wasn't more clear.

File a immediate with reserving all rights and apply stay of execution in that court and all appeals courts notify or ask for a public defender what country are you in
