“What to do before heading to jail in 6 hours? #PreJailPrep #LastMinutePreparations
Hey there! If you’re facing some time behind bars in just a few hours, it’s crucial to make the most of your remaining time outside. Here are some tasks you should prioritize before saying goodbye to freedom:
Financial Matters
– Notify your employer or clients about your situation
– Set up automatic bill payments or contact creditors
– Inform your family or friends about your situation and any financial responsibilities
Legal Preparations
– Contact a trusted lawyer to discuss your case and potential legal options
– Gather important legal documents or paperwork you may need
– Update any emergency contact information with your lawyer or a trusted individual
Personal Affairs
– Make arrangements for pets, dependents, or loved ones who may need care
– Gather essential personal items like medications, contacts, and clothing
– Write down any important contact information or notes for when you’re away
Did you put money into canteen?
Probably sex
Freeze your credit, pay bills in advance if possible. Arrange your pick up ride and may clothes that are fresh!
don’t empty your fridge, leave something for the moment when you come back, a present for the future, for me that would be a beer haha
Put a lot on money on the canteen because the trays suck ass. Over cooked crap with no flavor and feels like your eating rubber. The next thing is get the hygiene pack. No one wants to be stuck with someone that smells. And get good shower shoes. You really don’t want to be bare foot on that floor.
Go around and put $20 bills in all your jacket pockets so when you get out you will get that pleasant surprise everytime you use one.
Pets?? Also, ask the post office to hold your mail or get someone to grab your mail for you a few times a week.
Final phone calls? Limited in jail i assume.
Open the doors to your fridge and freezer so it doesn’t mold or stink when you get back.
Have your mail held or forwarded to a family member.
Bring a couple hundred in cash for your books.
If you’re a female, wear a bra with no wire, a couple of them.
Write down numbers, you’re not going to remember anyone’s after getting there.
And Remeber it’s temporary. Just mind your own business and it’ll be done soon. Good luck.
This is a random tip but, if you have loved ones get them to download the flikshop app. They can snap picks and write a short message right from their phone. You’ll get a postcard in the mail with the photo and message. I think it’s like $1 per post card but can keep your morale up.
Good luck.
Pet, plants, cancel subscriptions, unplug all batteries from things, place some insecticide, plug sinkholes, tell neighbor, write your parents.
And listen to this one. Bring books & earplugs. If books are not allowed give friend to bring it to you later on.
3 months are short you’ll be fine. Good luck.
Bring cash with you (can be deposited into canteen). Let anyone important know to expect collect calls, not being able to reach people is awful. If you are a long haired person put your hair up with lots of hair ties because they can be hard to come by. Take out any piercings or they will do it for you. Have someone come by to check on your house weekly.
double check if you’ve closed every window in your house so it doesn’t rain on your stuff
Maybe have arrangements for you when you get out, like who is picking you up and bringing you fresh clothes
Dont drink or do drugs before, some places will keep you in holding cells that are not comfortable.
Also, why in 6 hours. Dont show up too late, 3rd shift is full of under trained staff.
Dont take anything with you that you wont need. Charge your phone and turn it off before going. If your taking it in.
Take your hair down if you have false hair.
Trim your nail if you have long nails.
You might be able to take some cash and put it in your account during intake.
Be polite to staff, if you think cops have too much power, you haven’t delt with prison staff. Most will give you what you throw at them. So if you want to be treated politely, act politely.
Have a list of your phone numbers.
Write one on your arm with sharpie just incase your not allowed anything.
Ware clean underwear.
Shower and brush your teeth.
Take any piercings off that you can. They might force off some
write yourself a welcome back letter so you can read when come back home, be gentle with yourself
Go eat a giant cheeseburger at your favorite spot (or whatever food you enjoy)
Take money with you, so you have some when you get out. Also put money on your account in jail.. jail is so much more tolerable when you have simple things like chips/soda/soups to snack on.. Also if the gaurds are cool we hosted poker tournaments with 1 or 2 “item” buy ins.
I feel like if you have done everything on these lists from other comments already, relax. Take a bath, watch a movie and listen to some songs.
very important –
Bring cash in with you. That can be turned into your canteen (depending on the jail anyways).
put on several pair of socks & boxers/briefs. I can’t speak for other jails, but the 3 counties I have been locked up at – they let you wear your socks and your boxers. also they **don’t give** you socks/briefs either, so wearing several pair going in makes things much easier if you’ll be there a while. You can rotate them out and wash as needed, and when letting them air dry you’ll have other ones you can wear.
Again, I’m sure some jails are different, but across the 3 states I’ve been locked up in , it was the case. And you have nothing to *lose* by wearing extra socks/boxers as insurance anyways.
Note: longer socks are great because you can tuck your pants in them so that they’re not dragging on those musty floors. Best of luck brother
Did you delete your search history?
Did u pack your suitcase?
Freeze your credit.
Write down phone numbers for people you might want to call while in jail, since you probably don’t have them all memorized
why are you going to jail dont answer if u dont wanna though
Why are you going to jail?
Saw a tiktok from a woman who had been to jail before and was telling her story. She mentioned staying far away from anyone on the inside who is sick/coughing, because the medical care inside is apparently bare minimum, they’ll just give you a tylenol and tell you to stay hydrated.
Good luck bro. Never been but just try to Take the time to refresh your mind. Do a little meditating since you’ll be bored anyway. just sit in silence and observe where your thoughts take you. Stay motivated by setting some fresh new intentions and goals for you to kick life’s ass in 3 months.
Godspeed
Put your mail on hold.
I would masturbate in peace one more time
Wear in 5 pairs of underwear and lots of socks. So you don’t gotta buy shit.
Arrange somebody to put money on your commisery
Cancel all digital services.
Get some POBox numbers. You’ll see who your friends are. Can be good can be sad lol.
Find out how much you can spend on canteen per order. Calculate your time and monies needed to cover your vacation.
Leave some money with someone reliable. Emergency for unexpected expenses when you get out. (Reconnection fees and whatnot but mostly beer money😜)
While you’re locked up…
Take care of your feet. Don’t get callouses those socks shoes are hard, first thing to buy are shower slip-on sandals. Wash them regularly, all precautions to prevent catching others athletes foot/fungus.
Buy the quality hygiene stuff, feeling good in jail makes a difference.
Shared toilet, clean before and after each use.
Write down all of your important phone numbers on a piece of paper and bring it in with you. Once you are booked in, they’re not going to let you go back to your property and get numbers out of your phone. Also, make sure to put on a white shirt, white boxers, and white socks. Alot of jails won’t let you keep anything that has color to it. Good luck in there. I know it don’t seem like it right now, but 90 days will be over with before you know it.
Saving this post so you I can comeback to your profile 3 months later for how it was. Do make a update post op when you’re back. Wishing you power and strength. Love from Asia.
Weird suggestion, but I would tug one out
Put money on your own books if you can.
Leave your fridge and freezer doors open and them unplugged.
If you don’t do this they will stink when you open them again.
Leave the fridge and freezer doors propped open.
Plot twist, he isn’t going to jail but is having a waking dream about going to live with his ex wife during covid.
Turn the water off
Pack your prison wallet full of goodies so you can make friends
Tell the post office to hold your mail, unless you have someone that will be picking it up.
