Never been but a buddy spent a week in county and he just said it was boring and the food sucked. He did what everyone here is saying, just kept quiet and passed the time with books.
Most of the people in the local jail are in on drug and alcohol related stuff. Some beaner gangster wannabes, but nothing terribly bad. He said there were no prison gangs and no real drama just a bunch of dudes bored off their ass wanting a beer.
They did however, break his glasses on accident while checking him in, so he got to use their crappy prison glasses, so he could only read for short periods.
For as mellow as it sounds it was good for him. He got out, swore he'd never go back. Sobered up, and divorced his harpy drunk wife (reason he got sent in)
Good luck OP, always improve yourself no matter where your at in life
