But what if you were sent to jail for illegally changing your pressure settings?

I'll just leave this here, and say that I hope whoever's in charge of jim's incarceration is kinder towards their fellow man than he is when his karma catches up with him.

I'd never let them take me alive, so I wouldn't need XPAP in jail. They better have a subpoena taped on their battering ram. Jim

If I were you, I'd just spend the rest of my life in bed... but then someone could probably find that felonius too!

Unless the OSA is treated that is actually a b-a-d idea.

Anyone tries to find pockets where there are none, might wind up missing some fingers!

One thing is that jail is not prison, so things should be easier, especially if it's a small town.

In our town, the courthouse is on the town square, with the jail behind it with a small grassy area between them. I used to work in an office on the second floor overlooking the walk between the two buildings. So we got to see the perp walks. And the prisoners out in their orange jumpsuits or black and white striped outfits, mowing the grass and trimming bushes, washing the deputies' cars, taking a cig break on the steps, all of it without a guard or deputy in sight. Prison is awful enough that these guys were always on their very best behavior!

We had a case a couple of years ago in a small rural county in our state where a computer nerd was in jail for 90 days on a DUI, and he was running the sheriffs office computers for them. Then he got out and they scraped together enough money to hire him as their consultant. Everyone was happy until the state found out and they got in trouble. That's small town living for you -- not so different from Mayberry, RFD!

Do you have one of the big (semi) rigs? Hopefully it will protect you.
