    Me too......Prison.......LOL .......fortunately as a repairman not as an inmate. It was a male prison though, your female prison story did just elicit a few fantasies from the deeper recesses of my conciousness.

        You were given an escort in a women's prison? I had heard these things go on sometimes, but had never confirmed a story about it until now... You may want to post elsewhere though, the thread was about the worst place you've been sent.
        Cthulhu for president! Why settle for the lesser evil?

            I used to go to Camp Pontiac, which was a minimum security women's camp and I would not want to be left alone, even there. I felt less of a threat in the men's prison. =^..^=
            If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
            1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
            2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
            3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
            4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
            5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                Re: Where is the worst place your boss sent you?

                I don't know about worst, but the scariest place I've been sent to is a very small outback community/town called Woorabinda. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the town; this town is an aboriginal housing community.

                I had to do an install out there for two machines at the police station. I was warned about the place, but thought all the guys were joking.

                After a long drive, alarm bells started ringing. The first was a large metal sign stating that "Beyond this point is an alcohol free zone, and all personal alcohol is banned. Fines apply." Further along the stretch of road heading into town there was a small red sedan that had crashed into a tree. The hood was up, windows smashed, tyres flat. Littered on the sides of the road were cartons of XXXX beer. The cheapest beer known to mankind.

                When I got into town, it was quiet. No cars driving around, just lots of townsfolk strolling about barefoot with hoodies. Graffiti as far as the eye can see. houses with smashed windows.

                This place freaked me out. I'm only 22, and I'm a massive introvert and hate conflict, so, yes. I was freaking out. I parked out front of the police station and unloaded the machines. Inside was a aboriginal lady who was being detained for some reason. Wasn't about to ask. Eventually she was placed into a cell while the officer typed up a report. As the minutes went by, she grew more and more restless. Shouting. Swearing, banging on the door and throwing the metal cup around.

                I don't really want to drive out there again.
