My dads sentencing is soon, going on the worst case and he gets a custodial sentence. What, if any personal effects can he take? Toiletries, medication etc
Hi
sorryto hear about your dad. All I can say is I know what your going through as my son is in prison at the moment.
as far as taking things to prison goes. Here in Scotland he was told to pack two jumpers that do not have hoods. Tw pairs of jogging trousers or one pair and a pair of jeans. The jogging trousers cannot have pockets. Two t shirts. As much underwear and socks as you like. Slippers are allowed as is a dressing gown. Writing paper and pens are allowed here toMoney is the most important thing to take with you. They will take the money and put it on the system meaning he can buy toiletries etc while in there. Any cigarettes to have get taken away and kept until you are released.
here is hoping that your dad will get community service etc and you won't need to use this advice. X

Best bet is to ask the prison if you know which one he will be sent to if handed a custodial sentence as I believe it can change between prisons. Money is a big thing as they can have an account and some of the things that they do not allow you to provide they can buy from the prison shop.
My dad is still on remand and not sentenced and I've been told that what happens with him now may change if he is sentenced. Everything from what I can provide to how often we can have contact can change. Judging by what has happened with my dad what you can and can't give him in prison changes according to the whims of the prison on an almost daily basis and not all the guards are even aware of the changes at times.
