A wonderful Ensenada jail
I suppose some folks wonder what it may look like in a Mexican jail. This picture is that of the Ensenada jail. Please take note of the luxurious beds
and house keeping.
I had a friend from Woodland Ca (Manual) that was coming out of The Cactus Club over in Cancun....him and his buddy got busted for DUI, hitting a
pedestrian, procession of Coke ....oh and no insurance. Manual told me about the prison and it's Hell like conditions...when he got home 8 years
later!
True story.
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

 That was on a slow day. You can tell because they have room to lie down.

Some people handle it differently....mind control. Besides, it's never too bad when it's over. [more mind control]

On Islas Marias you can live with your wife and family, working on the island farms during the day. It is a very different kind of prison...

Looks the same as the PGJE jail in Rosarito. I was in for a few hours last year and my friendly cell mates offered me a line of crystal meth. Always
a party in Baja. I didn't get a blanket, I think you have to bring your own.

The guy with the blanket over his head is probably just passed out cold and sleeping it off. That is def not a meth-induced environment... the guys
in my cell they never shut up. You mean if they can get drugs into a holding cell they might have a knife on them or or something? I told them I was
accused of trying to kill my neighbor with a hammer. That's when they warmed up to me and offered me the meth. Everybody respects "crazy" in jail.

According to most/all Mex Auto Ins Policies, having an
accident where alcohol is simply 'a contributing factor',
love those vague terms, will invalidate a Mex Ins policy

Decades ago I had an insuance adjuster brag about how
good their policys are. He said even if you are caught drunk
we will cover you. No one else will do that he said. I am sure more than a little mordida to
all would be arranged by your "ADJUSTER" TO ACHEIVE THIS.

when i was young i had to do 10 days in san digo county jail FOR HAVING
LOUD EXHAUST PIPES (the judge said he hated hot rodders). I told my hardened criminal cell mates I was there for trying to kill a judge. no one tried
to violate me.

When I lived in Punta Banda I had a friend who, out of curiousity, visited a little jail in Maneadero. There was an American that said he had been
incarcerated for about 3 wks and didn't have the money to pay the fine to get out. My friend being a sympathetic soul paid the $170 fine. The happy
released American told my friend that he lived in a trailer within a few miles of Punta Banda and he would repay the money that afternoon. Of course,
he was never heard from again. Kinda like buying property in Mexico- only spend what you can afford to lose!!!

Back around 1940 my Dad actually worked in the old Ensenada jail which is now a museum. He had some pretty wild stories about his experiences there.
Once he said they were trying to figure out how the prisoners were getting weed smuggled in so they planted someone inside. Turns out, there was a
vendor selling cheese to the prisoners and he would hollow out the cheese and plant the weed inside. Another time they jailed someone and his buddies
threatened to break him out. Luckily, there was a military detachment near by and they sent soldiers over to deal with them.
Has anyone been to the new museum? Last time I was there they were scraping paint off a wall to reveal a painting of an Eagle underneath.

we went over to the prison near Mulege once because they sell arts and crafts there - whoooooooaaaa - what a zoo. they yell so loud that Les took 10
steps back and said let's get outta dodge now. I am Brazilian and loud is normal (think carnaval- samba music all night long - cases of beer) so I
told the guys MORE LOUDLY THAN THEY to cut it out or we weren't gonna buy a thing. One fo the funniest memories I have. These hard core criminals did
quiet down immediately.
welcome Baja4Rner to Baja nomads and can you write down more stories, porfa !!!

Well...I've been there, but this wasn't me.
It was a nice gesture anyway. Nobody should have to sit in one of those places. Very nasty.....for sure.

Very Nasty for sure, but not as nasty as driving drunk and hitting a pedestrian. I wonder if the experience cured the guy?

I agree with you, but I wasn't talking about him.
