Advice for a First-Timer
Hey all. Not going to prison but jail for 9 days in Palm Beach, FL in a few weeks. Just looking for some advice on how to get through, stay busy, stay WARM, stay sane and safe. Yeah it’s Florida which is on my side weather-wise but it is FREEZING in there. I’ve read that most jails only allow you to bring prescription glasses and medication, and maybe some basic white clothes. I’d like to have my Big Book and maybe a Bible, but from what I’ve read these have to be purchased directly from a publisher or distributor. I know Bibles are available, not sure about anything else. I know to bring cash, not quite sure how much. As a female, I’d also appreciate any advice. I tried to make it a point to not be in there during my cycle because mine are bad and I don’t want to deal with it in there, but God forbid.
Thanks in advance. I take accountability for and own my mistakes and, while I do want to get it behind me, I am not just looking to fly through it and no longer think about it. I plan on doing my best to use the time for self-reflection and growth. Daily gratitude lists and prayer if I’m able to have a pen and paper or similar supplies.
