What to take to prison

[drinkswineoutofamug]

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.

Stay strong op. I'm sorry your dd is going through this. She sounds very vulnerable as most of the female prison population is.

OP. I hope she matures and takes the time inside to turn herself around. She's very lucky to have you. X

I think prison maybe a good thing . It will get her away from partner and maybe get some help.
Good luck with tomorrow .

Drinks, as someone who was a troubled teen once, you sound like an incredible mum.

Oh OP huge hugs x

Oh sorry OP . I hope somehow it all turns things around for the better for her but for you as well - you deserve better than all of this. And I hope one day she realises what a wonderful mum she has.

The ex sounds utterly toxic.

Thinking of you today OP 💞

I'm so sorry for all the stress you are going through OP. Hopefully prison will give her space to reexamine her life away from the corrosive influences she is surrounding herself with currently.

I hope (against hope) court goes well today.

Oh drinks. Sorry to hear your update. You must be so stressed and worried at the moment, please remember to look after yourself during all of this. Make sure you have real life support too.

Just wanted to add my virtual support. Look after yourself too.

Oh shit Drinks,I hope you've managed to get some sleep.

Fingers crossed the time away from the idiot GF may end the relationship and give your Daughter the push to make things better for herself.

Good luck with today

Thinking of you op xx

You sound like a very good mum

Oh no I really wish I had seen this yesterday!

Get the following items to her as soon as you can

Watch
Radio
Underwear
Clothes (if remanded she can still wear her own clothes until sentenced)
Deodarent, toothpaste, shower gel, toothbrush, make up, hair bands
Pens, paper, envelopes, pencil crayons
Books
Magazines

You sound like a lovely mum x

I've not heard anything. Ironic that I was only asking for advice then this happens.

As for her meds, a reception nurse will confirm her medication with her community gp and task the prison doctor to prescribe it all. We are very used to organising medication for new prisoners, she will be looked after in that respect.

Oh OP, you sound like a great Mum. Best of luck for you and your daughter today .

When I hear off police about court and IF I can get there in time, I will take a rucksack with some bits in.

She is very lucky to have you as her mum. I hope something good comes out of this in the end (e.g. getting out of that relationship which sounds quite dysfunctional) and hope its not too tough for her in prison, sounds like there are quite a few factors involved which led to this so I wouldn't place too much blame on her.

Oh god ! The ex obviously has a fair bit of influence over her , she sounds very controlling ( been through all this with DD). If only they had enough confidence and self worth to see this, but they are young and there is time for them to mature and hopefully learn.

Massive hugs Op

I don't have any words but for you.

Phoned the police they said she's due in court at 1pm and gave me an area, but not which court! As I knew her charges they confirmed them.

I will keep you all updated.

Hope all goes as ok as it can today OP

Nothing useful to add but I'm thinking of you
