PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - American jails are bad enough, but everybody is speaking the same language.
I heard first-person tales of encounters with the polizei from the drunks, about once a month while I was in Germany. (80-87).

..."Griner was asked if she felt a burden for coming home before others who have been wrongfully detained.
“If I could have went and got them out or any of that, of course, I would have,” Griner said.
“It hurts, because no one should be in those conditions,” she added. “Hands down, no one should be in any of the conditions I went through or they’re going through.”
Griner last played with the Mercury in 2021, helping the team to the WNBA Finals, which they lost to the Sky.
Before that, the seven-time All-Star had played all nine seasons with the franchise since being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 WNBA Draft.
She won Olympic gold medals at the 2016 and 2020 Games. The 2024 Olympics are in Paris next July and August."
