From the looks of these guys, the Will County jail is giving Disney World a run for its money for happiest place on earth.
We here at the Shorewood Patch put our heads together and couldn't come up with anything good about going to jail.
You're locked up. There's not much to do. We hear the food's lousy. You're going to have a case you've got to fight, which means you have to go to court, and unless you're broke enough for the public defender, you need to go out and get a lawyer who's going to charge you an arm and a leg.
No, there doesn't seem like there's anything good about this at all. Which makes us wonder about and admire these gleeful men and women beaming at the camera for their mugshots on the way into the county jail.
