I remember a mefite having to spend some days in jail. It was via an askme question about what should this member do with her/his time.

I searched a couple hundred posts, and I tagged jail, prison, and bighouse. I can't find this person.

1. Who was this?
2. Did this person get out?

Here is the question. First hit for the google query:

Hey I never knew about that "site: ..." trick. Cool.

So, basically, if you'd gone to ask metafilter, typed "jail" into the search box, and hit search, you would've found this.

He did a couple days in prison
but no time in the hole
MeTa steered him wrong
Mathowie tried Mathowie tried
we flagged it and moved on
but our pleading he denied
that's leaves only him to blame
Mefi, we tried, Mefi we tried...
