If you misbehave in Thompson, or have too much fun, you might be invited to spend the night in the city lock-up.
According to jailer Simon Birch*, no detainee has ever been sodomized by unruly cellmates or brutally beaten by enraged police officers.
"That just doesn't happen here," says Simon. "It's very peaceful, and our lodgers have a good rapport with the cops. If you want violence, I suppose you'd have to look in Brandon or Gimli. Thompson is a peaceful town."

I've heard that they serve tasty Mcdonalds Egg Muffins there.
