This is Jon. If you can't tell from his picture, he's a young, British, skinny, white guy who got caught pushing the drug Ecstasy when he used to organize underground rave parties. He was a successful stockbroker living in Paradise Valley in Phoenix, but now he's celled-up amid murderers, shemales, and the mentally ill sporting Day-Glo orangewear and dodging booty bandits in a Tucson Federal Penitentiary.

 What follows is excerpts from his blog, Jon's Jail Journal, which chronicles how a regular wanker tries to survive being caged with hardcore criminals. More than that, he exposes the inhumane conditions of jail and how a system can undeservingly throw people away without a second chance. 

As of May 2007, he is still locked up and still contributing to his journal. He will be in jail at least another two years.
