Originally written behind bars, Fun in Jail delivers the true story of inmate #243459 as he and his fellow felons make the most of a mad situation in the Psych Ward of L.A.County Jail. After getting (Busted Again - 3:57) the Lad gets processed in L.A. County Jail, (Too Far Gone - 4:17) and lands in the Psych Ward alongside a troupe of heavily medicated minstrels (Sold Down the River - 4:12). A contemptuous conversion occurs, (Radio Moses - 7:12) where the Lad faces his devil, a.k.a. himself (Messin' with Us - 3:37). The reality of doing time then sets in, (Sunday Morning - 3:39) along with the specter of new charges from the old flame, (Playing for Nobody - 4:05). After Double Drawers, The Bathroom Boss, and the rest of the convict choir offer a welcome respite, (Black Santa's Swan Song - 3:58) our hero is now in danger of becoming one for himself (Jailhouse Hangover - 4:11). Legal dictates and moral choices force a decision in his case, (Why Worry Now - 4:15) where both the Lad and his cellmate, Kill-Joy Jerry, find a bonafide key that might get them out (Lucky Day - 3:45). Yet they both have to pay the price to get that baby to turn (The Bridge - 3:59). "Like a shank in a birthday cake, Santana is a welcome surprise indeed" - Alex Zaitchek, New York Press.
