Last April I had five weeks of Grand Jury duty. I wore a kilt every day, no problem.
One of the things we did was a tour of the Wash. County prison. I was wearing a kilt in the lockup and but had no contact from any of the inmates and no coments from the gards. So I guess I have been kilted in a prison but never arrested.
I've been careful to not do things that would get me arrested. I have no desire to see the inside of a jail.
I got arrested once, about a year ago. I was doing something stupid (exploring an abandoned factory), but they tried to get us for felony burglary (we hadn't taken anything.) Luckily the charges were dropped and I was charged with just "criminal mischief", which is a misdemeanor.
I spent ten days in county jail, which was the most awful experience ever. Four people crammed into a cell designed for two (I had to sleep on a mat on the floor, next to the head.) No books, no nothing. Luckily I wasn't kilted, but either way, it was an awful experience.
