He is likely to be placed on a Vulnerable Prisoner Wing. If he has never been in prison before he is likely to be placed with a trusted prisoner,who will guide him through the system. VP prisoners do not discuss their offences among themselves. Most want to stay quiet & deal with their situation. He can give requested contact details for phone calls& visits. You can set up an email account.

I was so scared for my son,but he has coped well,made some friends & regularly attends the gym. Once you establish contact, the fear subsides.

However I hope he doesn't get a custodial sentence.

LFF helpline & Prisoners Families helplines are very helpful & supportive.

Best wishes.

good advice EBP

i was terrified when my son went to prison. He has served most of his sentence in sex offender training prisons.

i feel has made him flourish and definitely take stock of his life. No doubt held its hardships but he's been ok. Now (at long last) on a treatment plan and by all accounts it's going exceptionally well.

All I can say - it's not as bad as you fear - but let's hope it doesn't happen xxxxx
