Lost xx

Hopefully you wont need it but incase you do

Write down all contact names and numbers

Some cash (it can be paid in to there account for credit towards canteen and phone)

Clothes, nothing black or white,

They can have 10 tops, tshirts, sweaters, sweatshirts, hoodies are not permitted, socks, underwear, pair of slippers or flip flops ( to wear to and from showers), PJS as the weather is changing

Medication has to be approved, so it depends on what they have to take but that will be approved from the prison medical team

You can set up email a prisoner once you have there prison number, set up video calls, visits, also pay money in to there personal account on pay a prisoner

It's a lot to take in and as I said hoping you wont need all of the above x

Feel free to message me if you need more information xx

Prison List

So sorry you are having to contemplate this.

Alist of contact numbers,including family & solicitor is very important.

once settled in prison,they will be given a prisoner number & this will be used on all communication & approvals.

Also happy for you to pm me for more info. My 29 year old son has been on remand for three months.

Sending hugs

Fingers crossed for you. We were told our son would definitely serve a prison sentence but buried our head in the sand as regards preparation, which caused stress as we were left to deal with it.

i think with hindsight sorting out finances ie. freezing bank accounts and phone contracts etc before hand. I had to terminate his job which was horrible, but he carried on working for as long as possible so that couldn't be helped.

Prison provides all the basic clothes. You can buy a massive range of goods with your canteen spends which includes clothes. But tends to be expensive.

Yes talking about phone contacts is important.

im here too for advice too/ just message me x
