What to take to prison

drinkswineoutofamug · 18/01/2017 21:38

Will be brief, daughter due to be sent down. Any one have a clue what to pack? Do we pack a bag? I've looked on line and it's a bit vague . Any help greatly appreciated.

Will that affect her court case?

drinkswineoutofamug · 08/10/2017 18:40

It was something to do with how dependent she is on drugs? I’m not sure. It’s part of her pre sentencing report.
Court is Wednesday. I’m at work.

Hey Drinks how was DD today? Is she ready for court on Wednesday?

Are you at work? Hope all is well

Hiya cat , just got home from work to find her cooking tea 😱 wondering what she wants . She’s also done all the housework .
She says she’s going to pack her stuff tomorrow just in case. I can just drop it off at styal, if that’s were she will go back to. Not sure if that’s they only yoi in the northwest. Or how it plays tbh.
My manager came to me today to see if I needed to talk, I told her no, I’m good. Explained everything I have said to you guys and she told me that I know where she is if I need her.
Can’t get down , got a stupid essay for uni to write!

What is the charge she's answering in court today? Is it assault on you? Apologies if I have missed out on some of your posts.

Ear plugs, flip flops, books, pens & paper & envelopes. Take money for the prison account/ shop as food is usually bad and tobacco is always useful. Takes weeks to set up your prison account. My brief experience of Wandsworth was only postal order so takes ages to process. Everything had to be bought inside as visitors aren't allowed to bring things in anymore.

I only have real experience of european foreign prison where conditions are a lot worse than UK. Battery powered Radio was a lifesaver but I think Uk prisons have TVs in the cells?

whyowhyiwhy · 11/10/2017 15:33

Chaplain are usually excellent- a real lifeline. They helped get medication too as was a delay in this for Wandsworth

MyOtherProfile · 11/10/2017 15:36

Things moved on a bit whyowhy

whyowhyiwhy · 11/10/2017 15:40
