Did you hear any racial slurs being used while you were in jail?
Hey gang,
I'm compiling my account of spending 30 hours in jail and I'm at the point where the police were taking names after the pat search. I know that I heard the word nigger used by the police a number of times and the person next to me was told he had a "spic name." And of course, just about everyone was called a faggot at some point in time. I'm asking to see if anyone has more racial slurs they heard or were called while in prison (I'm not asking about slurs used when we were getting arrested, I know that people were called niggers then as well).
