reckless is spelled with a W on purpose... see urban dictionary if you desire

///The judge said 7 days in the city jail (for being young and wreckless). I made the best of it, met some lost but good people. The food wasn't bad (you could have second helpings if you wanted to). Had an easy job detail, mopping the "reception" center floor. It was a respite from my outside job. (moving furniture in the Houston Texas humidity). I put on three pounds in jail. courtesy of the working class. And it's true what they say, silence is golden. Especially true when you're behind bars. Despite some minor brutality from the deputies. I'll still give my stay 4 stars///

"I put on three pounds, courtesy of the working class," and that is why I strive to get put into jail rather than a nursing home when I get to that age. I have been part of this working class, thus, I have earned it.
