Tank Johnson in Jail

[cheesehead10790]

ESPN reports Tank Johnson sentenced to 120 days in jail. I just saw it on ESPNNEWS. This guys a mess.

[Hurricane Ditka]

He'll probably serve about 100 or so days, since you usually serve what like 80% of your sentence?

[bigbluedefense]

He'll serve 50 days, maybe less.

A couple of green bills, nudge nudges, wink winks and he'll be out in 50.

[BUSTKUNTLAWL]

ridiculous.

[BUSTKUNTLAWL]

He's in prison too.

Not county jail.

That's absolutely ridiculous imo.

Tank's gonna be a target in there.

[skinzzfan25]

Is this from a new crime? Or his most recent one where he was under house arrest besides for football lol.

[frogstomp]

You'd be crazy to "target" an NFL defensive tackle.

He's a rich athlete.

He's going to be a target.

Whether something happens or not we will never know..

But you're kidding yourself if you think he won't be a target.

[niel89]

Over/Under 1.5 Rapes Tank dishes out?

I say OVER

over. he has a tank cannon.

[BUSTKUNTLAWL]

I read he was going to Cook County Jail not Prison.

on ABC they said Prison; not county.

I read county too.

I don't think the reports are 100% accurate right now..

ABC said the fine was $25k; while FOX said it was only $2,500.

[Freddy G]

I've had an overnight stay in jail before, i would prefer not to go back.

I was (still am) 17 and it was a good thing i was bigger than everyone else...i wasn't going to become someone's *****.

Tank would be one of those guys you would be scared to death of, 300lbs and can run you down.

I had to spend 2 hours alone in a holding cell a couple weeks ago. That sucked to high heaven. They threatened to hold my buddy there all weekend.

[BUSTKUNTLAWL]

Prison is a lot rougher than County Jail.

[smittyjs]

im not surprised. tanks have gunsLOL, that was pretty good.

[21ST]

He's in prison too.

Tank Johnson is 6-3 300lbs and an NFL DT, i dont think anyone is going to be in there lookin to start somethin with him.

[Freddy G]

I would had prefered a holding cell alone than the perverbial over-crowded cell i had to stay in.

It was me a bunch of drunks and crack heads, and couple of black dudes who never winked....and one communal toilet. Needless to say, i held it.

[frogstomp]

Prison is a lot rougher than County Jail.

You don't say? Wow!

Anyways, all the reasons why he'll get targeted are reasons why he'll pay off some guards to get better protection. He could also take on 2-3 guys on his own, anywyas. Finally, don't you think he could have almost as many little minions as he wanted?

Oh yeah, your typing style is annoying.

[remix 6]

dont drop the soap big fella

[bigbluedefense]

You guys will be surprised. Theres a lot of guys in prison that are bigger and badder than Tank Johnson.

And if they gang up on him, I don't care what his 40 was, or how many times he benched, he's getting his **** pushed in.

[BUSTKUNTLAWL]

Not everyone knows that.

My typing style? Okay..

[bearsfan_51]

I'm sure he's going to get his own nice little area. Martha Stewart went to jail people...she was nice and safe. They don't let celebrities get attacked, it reflects very poorly on them.

Come on...use your skulls.

Of course...but if he ever was in prison prison, I think theres plenty of guys in there that could give him a fight.

[bearsfan_51]

I'm sure that I could give it to him in a fight if I came up behind him in the shower with a broken off broom handle.

The old saying about the size of someone in a fight is true, except it really comes down to who is sneakier or craftier.

Yes, your typing style.

I don't like it.

I think it's ludicrous.

Why would you always make a new paragraph for a sentence, even when it continues on with the same idea?

This makes no sense.

Help. I can't stop. Oh, there we go.

Make a new paragraph? I'm writing paragraphs? I don't give a **** if you don't like how I type. Why do you care so much..? Are you in love with me?

[bearsfan_51]

no sorry...he'd still kick your ass

You stab somebody in the side with a shank and you've got a huge head start. I don't care how big you are.

[frogstomp]

Make a new paragraph? I'm writing paragraphs? I don't give a **** if you don't like how I type. Why do you care so much..? Are you in love with me?

Yes, but you didn't have to let everyone know.

Anyways, regardless of my love for you, thank you for changing for me. You were almost perfect, and now, BAM!, you are. Well... almost. Just never talk to me again, and we'll be set.

[frogstomp]

You stab somebody in the side with a shank and you've got a huge head start. I don't care how big you are.

See, I just have no faith in your stabbing skills. You'd probably hit him with the wrong end, and then stab yourself in the process.

[bigbluedefense]

You stab somebody in the side with a shank and you've got a huge head start. I don't care how big you are.

He'd shove your body in the cut to prevent too much blood loss. After he clots, he'll remove you, have his way with you, then eat you for dinner.

[BUSTKUNTLAWL]

You stab somebody in the side with a shank and you've got a huge head start. I don't care how big you are.

Not to mention it wouldn't be 1 vs 1 either.

I can picture it all go down.

You gathering an army of goons to take on Tank.

You lead the pack, trying to slowly creep up and sneak attack him.

But little did you realize, your goons decide to betray you, hit you in the back of the head, and anal rape you while Tank let's his bath water pour into your mouth.

That sounds like a Hallmark Card.

Tisk tisk..it's lets, not let's. C-

Not to mention that it would clearly be shower water, and not bath water.

There is a big difference between a women's white collar crime jail and a men's regular prison. How can you compare the two?

Glad to see a athlete not get away with misdeeds for once.

I'm sure he's going to go to a white collar prison as well. He lives in one of the nicest burbs in the Chicago area.

By the way, have you ever been to a woman's prison? I have. They are all ******* scary. White collar or not.

He's not going to prison. He got 4 months. He'll just go to the local county jail for a quick nap.

This is from a previous crime guys, not a new one.

Tank is going to a county jail, not a white collar jail. It doesn't matter where you live, the crime you get convicted of determines where you go.

[duckseason]

Umm. No it doesn't. It depends upon a whole variety of things. Like whether or not the crime was federal. The length of sentence. Your custody level. Health issues. Whether or not you're pc. Whether or not you're going to death row. etc. Also, most inmates get bounced around from prison to prison.

Don't worry, EA has a history of talking out of his ass when he knows absolutely nothing about the topic. Obviously this happens quite often.

I knew somebody that went to jail for a year. What's funny about that?

The way you worded it set yourself up for jokes.

And yeah...one of my friend's brothers is in jail for life. Some guys, you just can't save em, he was one of those guys.

[Space Ghost]

You guys will be surprised. Theres a lot of guys in prison that are bigger and badder than Tank Johnson.

Exactly. No matter how big you are you can get ****** up really bad in prison if you say something stupid.

Someone convicted on weapons charges is not going to a white collar prison, they go in with the murderers, rapists, assaulters, robbers. The high class of society. Tank is more likely to meet Bubba than Richard Hatch.

[Damix]

Hell people in for embezzlement sometimes go into regular prisons, it depends on a crap load of circumstances

[Flyboy]

Over/Under 1.5 Rapes Tank dishes out?

I say OVER

Okay, Shiver. You got me with that one. LOL.

[TheChampIsHere]

yeah Ive been to county jail and nothing really goes down there unless you initiate it or its some kind of gang stuff. No one messed with me and its not b/c I am so big cuz Im 5'8''.

But yea prison is a whole different deal but Tank shouldnt have too much problem handling himself being that he is as big and strong as he is and he obviously moves extremely well for his size. Some people could target him but he isnt gonna be looking for problems I expect just wants to do his time and go home and Im sure the guards will keep a close eye on him to make sure nothing goes down in case people do start something with him.

[TheChampIsHere]

Tank is going to a county jail, not a white collar jail. It doesn't matter where you live, the crime you get convicted of determines where you go.

i havent been to womens prison, but ive been to court dates where they brought in in-custody women from prison and yea they was gangstad-out

[Stash]

I doubt he is going to a hardcore prison with murderers, rapists, etc, his sentence is only 120 days. I don't think they put people with short prison sentences in with lifers. Even if they do, I still doubt anyone will mess with him. Did anyone mess with Jamal Lewis when he got locked up? Probably not, and Tank is twice as big as J-Lewis.

BTW, wasn't his gun charge some technicality where he had them registered in one state but not the one where he was keeping them?

[duckseason]

Since you missed it the first time, allow me to make it clear. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. Most "white collar prisons" happen to also be federal prisons. Many people who go down on gun charges, end up going to federal prisons. The term "white collar prison" refers more to the laid-back atmosphere, than it does to the crimes the inmates committed. Not all white collar prisons are minimum security, and not all the inmates committed white collar crimes. For example, Martha Stewart was incarcerated in a "white collar prison" yet she mingled with "assaulters" and "robbers." Damn you sound like a 6 year old. I don't even know why I'm wasting my time explaining this to you. Just stop speaking on topics you know nothing of. Just because you watched prison break last week doesn't make you an expert on the subject. Now write all that on the chalkboard before you make another misinformed post in this thread.

Anyways, I hope he never stops, because people like that confirm my lack of faith in humanity.

[regoob2]

I dont know if anyones heres been to a county prison but there arent as many rapes and shankings as television leads on, and hes going to cook county were most people there would probably like him cause hes on the bears. He'll be out after 60 days if he doesnt rape or shank someone

It depends on which prison/jail you're talking about. I know for a fact that in many California prisons stabbings are very common. Here in Oregon, not as much. A lot more fist fights. Over the course of 3 years at OSP, there were 4 stabbings *that I know of* resulting in one death. And even more hanging "suicides." Fights happened every day, and there were Chickenhawks everywhere. Dudes went pc all the time. People I knew who had been locked up in California described OSP as soft. My point is that you can't just lump all correctional institutions into the same category. I guarantee that some places like Corcoran or Pelican Bay are even rougher than you'd imagine. Btw, there is a vast difference between prison and jail. Tank is in the county jail. County/City = jail, State/Federal = prison.

[neko4]

Im suprised he isnt in a white-collar type prison, sure his size might make him deadly but he is a celebrity.

[bearsfan_51]

As a high-profile inmate segregated from nearly all of the jail's 10,000 other prisoners, Johnson will continue to spend about 23 hours a day in his cell, sheriff's officials said, unless Johnson requests to be part of the general population. Other inmates are aware he's there, but most won't ever see him. He's in an 8-by-10-foot cell by himself, with a bed, sink and toilet. He can come out about an hour each day to watch TV, use the phone or mingle in a common area with other nonviolent inmates.

"It's been completely uneventful thus far," sheriff's spokesman Bill Cunningham said. "He's being isolated from the general population as much as possible."

This from the Sun-Times.

[regoob2]

Its a county jail someone might get stabbed but not Tank, Theres plenty of people who have been to jail that haven't been stabbed

[Hurricane Ditka]

Tank could come out of Jail very out of shape. If he can't get to the weight area he'll get fat as the queen of seacows.

[bearsfan_51]

Not to mention that he likely won't get to use the workout facilities that often. Hopefully he doesn't have to serve the full term of this, as it may take him additional time to get into game shape.

That being said, Jamal Lewis served a similar term as I recall, and it didn't affect him.

EDIT: Actually he'll likely lose weight, as there's no way the servings in jail are comparable to what a 300 lbs man would usually eat.

[bearsfan_51]

I dunno. Tank probably just lives on a diet of babies anyway.

[MP123]

It's not surprising that he's in jail.

[TheChampIsHere]

yeah it sucks for him that he doesnt get to work out he might be able to use his money/influence to hook up some extra food

[Mr. Stiller]

This is a joke..

4 Months for illegal gun possession while already on probation.

I wonder what the average person would be serving.

[regoob2]

about the same depending on the circumstances
