During one of my massive episodes, 5 police officers had to restrain me. I was put into solidarity confinement until I was able to calm down enough where I wasn't a danger to other inmates, the guards, and myself. After 7 months I finally settled down at my maximum state prison serving my 6 year sentence. I immediately settled right in and was in the leadership group.

In prison I met many others like myself and Hate to say it but I actually enjoyed my time in there. Something about being around others like yourself makes it better. All those years I didn't feel broken or different other than the ones that wasn't capable of being there. When I was let out I went into a 5 month depression state. I was alone and felt even more different than before.

Has anyone else gone to jail from a manic episode? And if you did how did you feel during your time there.
