I feel so compelled to share this. One time I got arrested for a crime I didn’t commit (a crime that there was no evidence for beyond the accusation, because it didn’t actually take place). It was the middle of nowhere in the Appalachian foothills, in a notoriously corrupt police jurisdiction.
Anyway, the part I want to share is that in the midst of this horrible, traumatic experience of being whisked away suddenly to jail, when I got to my room I noticed the toothpaste. They make special jail/prison toothpaste, since it has to be transparent, I guess.
The jail toothpaste is called Maximum Security. The laugh I got from that made the day a teeny tiny bit less horrible. So whoever made that sick joke, thank you, I guess

that’s the kind of dark irony that hits so hard it loops back around to healing
wrongfully jailed, whole life yanked out from under you—and somehow the toothpaste branding team still managed to drop a punchline like it’s a sitcom cutaway
Maximum Security for your oral hygiene
like yeah, can’t let plaque get out of line while you’re fighting for your actual freedom
sometimes absurdity’s the only thing keeping the brain from snapping
glad that tiny moment cracked through the nightmare, even for a second
That sucks dude same thing happened to me someone committed a crime in the same kind of car as me in the same area and I was broken down on the side of the highway when 5 cop cars pulled up ripped me out of my car tackled me and took me to jail for a week.
