How on earth would you manage in there?? I guess you could make a phone call to your bank to transfer money? Or is there a hardship fund?I don’t know, someone close to me is in prison and if it wasn’t for there family they would have nothing in there and their family can’t get into their bank etc as they need to speak to them, it seems like when they get out will have a lot to deal with as in debt, unpaid bills etc
I really don’t know, wonder if anyone who works in prisons would know about thatHow on earth would you manage in there?? I guess you could make a phone call to your bank to transfer money? Or is there a hardship fund?
Thank you my lovely! I’m okay, I do feel quite anxious posting on here plus I’ve been working quite a lot too so briefly catch up when I can. Have reported my older posts but nothings been removed yet but now I’m just overthinking everything I post on here as I value my job soooo much & don’t want to be in a position where I could lose it@eggfriedrice Hope you are ok and haven’t been made too anxious about posting on here xx
omg I’ve only just realised a new SB thread and I’ve got 30 pages to catch up on the old oneWe've missed you @eggfriedrice especially over on the SB thread.
Can you not edit your previous posts on this thread? X
I thought you might. I’m sure just general posts are fine and can’t give anything away. I’ll report your previous posts and maybe others can as well? XThank you my lovely!

Hope you’re okay too though
Yes!! Happy to help report if it might speed things up.I thought you might. I’m sure just general posts are fine and can’t give anything away. I’ll report your previous posts and maybe others can as well? X
Yes. I know someone who had a penpal on death row who always claimed his innocence. I think around 20 years later it all came to light that their evidence wasn’t valid and dna didn’t match his so he got released. Unfortunately he had missed seeing his parents alive and missed his 2 sons growing up. Pretty infuriating that a person lost so much of their life and didn’t ever get a proper apology for it.What kind of percentage of people in prison are innocent? Have you ever come across a prisoner who said they were innocent and you thought yeah I think they are.
You can’t speak to your bank or your own GP or anything like that in prison. If you try and add it to your list of numbers you can call it is denied. As I discovered! When I was there I had left my phone with my dad so he was able to send me money inside from my banking app.How on earth would you manage in there??

My animals was my biggest worry. Luckily my parents adore my pets so took them in while I was away. All the peo0e I knew we’re expecting to be incarc so had made provisions for their animals.I do wonder what happens to peoples pets if they go to prison
it took three years for my case to go to court (no idea why it took that long) so in my case I was able to put money aside for my mortgage for while I was inside. People who had council property were having theirs paid by their local authority. You are exempt from council tax while detained.What would happen if you had a mortgage by yourself but then had to go to prison?
you get a job while you are there. The money is very very little but you can buy toiletries and other things. You are limited on how much you can buy. In my prison you could only buy 3 fizzy drinks a week which was a nightmare for me. But it’s not supposed to be fun. You could buy make up from prison, which had been purchased from Primark. You could also spend up to £20 with Avon. You filled a form out after seeing the catalogue. Took WEEEEEKS to get it though.Few questions please!
So obviously you can't work whilst you're in prison, do you get benefits?
Can you take your own make up/face wash/shampoo?
You can use the Internet I take it..?
Not in my one. Avon or general things like Nivea on the kioskCan you buy toiletries like Clinique in prison?
You can send an email to findaprisoner@justice.gov.ukI noticed someone asked about how do you find out if someone is in prison. I think a friend of mine is in prison. Is there any way I can find out where she is?
That’s great, thank you very much. I’ll give it a go.You can send an email to findaprisoner@justice.gov.uk
if you Google it, it will tell you what info to provide. I had a couple of people contact me this way. I was given a form with their info on and asked if I would allow for them to get my info. i refused one and accepted the other.
