IDK... I worked in a jail for about 6 months. Detention officer. (Don't ask...long story...I grew up in a weird area.) I still have the uniform!
Anyway, it wasn't THAT bad, and she's not with the general population. I know I wasn't an inmate, but really... People have been through worse things than a few weeks in a county jail.
Lame? Annoying? Not fun? Sure. Traumatizing? County Jail? Meh. I don't really see it as "traumatizing" as compared to her crimes. Drunk driving? Running people over? Yeah, now that's traumatizing. But hey, I don't have sympathy for people who drink and drive. Being HIT by a drunk driver is far more traumatizing than a repeat drunk driver spending a few weeks in county jail, away from general population.

Maybe she'll learn some humility.
