r/Prison

I’ve lost many years of my life, my career, my girlfriend my house all my belonging I’ve kept in my house, which costs me a lot of money and memories, my social media accounts and most of my friends, I was arrested and sent right to prison, it really sucks crime does pay.

Be on supervised pretrial service bond with random urine test since may of 2025. Since then all my test have been clean. I’m surrendering to FCI Lompoc II ( no idea if it’s. Camp or like LA county ) and wanted to know if it’s safe to smoke some weed over the weekend since they don’t test over weekends and Monday I’m gonna turn myself in. I’m not gonna go in High , just trying to smoke over Friday Saturday and Sunday . What are the risk?

I teach at a DJJ facility in Florida. Previously I taught in high school for 17 years. We have about ten of our kids getting their GED or gen ed diploma in two weeks. I’m so proud of them!! This is my second graduation being there, I feel more comfortable. I would love to get all the graduates a special book that they can keep with them through life, help them. Any ideas? Thank you for your help!

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.

I just found out a guy I know well is in jail for doing a B&E. He was dumb enough to do it to his own neighbour who lives in the same housing complex and they’re house is literally attached to one another. This happened in Alberta, Canada. He already got an eviction notice for 2 days from now. How much time could he be facing?

Ive been having nightmares every night after being released even tho I only did 4 years and for some reason I have sleep paralysis almost every night ive been out 6 months got a new gf that doesn’t really understand because I wake up not rested and irritated

I have dreams like Im fighting or just like Im in the rec hall chillin it’s weird but it’s starting to bother me cuz I’m not getting sleep Ike last night i woke up terrified and was scared to go back to sleep

Looking for anyone with firsthand experience with FCI Stafford Low. Have an acquaintance with a SO charge going there next week. Thanks.

How do you feel about getting ready to do time, or have done time, and the people putting you there are essentially criminals who don’t give two shits about the law, are above the law, have passed laws making themselves above the law, and think obeying the law is for chumps/peasants? And make so mistake, this isn’t partisan. Every politician that has actual power feels this way regardless of party affiliation. They never prosecute each other.

After 4 and a half years on pretrial, and 3 of it on home confinement, I was sentenced to 37 months on 1 count of Mail Fraud.

My attorney didn’t even show up for sentencing; they sent some dude I’d never met or talked to. I have not received any reporting mail from the BOP, but my PO called me and told me I’d be reporting to Yazoo City, MS.

I'm not sure if it’s the Low or the Camp, but I’m assuming it’s a Low because of my Criminal History Category II score (all possession of weed when I was 18) and the fact that I’m 25 years old at this time.

I’ll be driving 7 hours on Friday morning to surrender, and I’m just curious what I should expect, realistically how long I’ll do, and if anyone has tips? I’d really appreciate it. Thanks guys.
