Supporting a friend who’s gone to prison

[taleofbluehalves]

A good friend of mine went to prison this week. He probably deserved it to be honest within the parameters of what the judge had.

It was still sad still that a moment of madness at a time of some significant problems, led to prison.

I’m determined to help as much as I can. He’ll be punished enough.

Anyone had experience of this?

In all seriousness how long has he been sent down for and where?

7 years down south.

7 years down south.

I meant what type of institution? Young offender or is it somewhere with a serious rep? Take it he has no previous experience to call upon? Seven years is a long time to go away - has he a family and kids on the outside?

I don't believe people are sentenced to seven years for something trivial
Come on, what has he done?

And respect for staying a friend

well at least you don't have to make sure wife and kids are ok and get that info to him - I suppose its going to be all about you being in touch as much as you can be with him and keeping his morale up when you do - make sure other friends rally round too. Needs to know he isn't alone.

Too be fair this thread is about supporting him not what he’s done. He did a stupid thing and he knows it.

Yeah think we’ll get a co-ordinated approach so we can support him.

I would like to think that I would support a friend who had been in trouble unless it was along the lines of a Jimmy Saville.

What can you do other than visit him and write?

Suppose you could organise a jailbreak.

Seems you can leave voice mails and send emails. It’s all new to me to be honest.

Bake him a cake with a file in it

Fly a drone in for him with a load of booze and drugs.

Get him to email/text/write to his victim(s).

Should have egged and floured them instead

Run onto the pitch during the game at Wembley and cross your wrists - he will appreciate that
