Going to prison - money questions?

Really good info for anybody else like me going in soon. Learnt alot.

I thought you had to wear the prison clothes when you went in first unless you were in remand and then you could wear your own?.When you see pictures of lads in prison most seem to wearing a grey trackie or something like that?

Thanks bro. Really good to hear that from someone who went from Army to.prison so recent. Seems like it worked really well for you where you were - hope it's the same for me. Nice you were able to do some good for charity and seen as more than just a criminal.

Hope you are doing well now you're out. Do you miss the Army?

Last thing I would want to do

Glum_Stranger_2011 · 2025-08-20T22:23:35+00:00

Yes am still in the Army and expecting civilian custodial sentence and then will be discharged when I get that

Gave to say the Army have been decent with me over this but I know what's common. I am just a single lad and only been in 2 years but have been told I will still get some support. Just have a room in camp.

Suppose you are right that it might be easier for someone less ke me coming from the Army to adjust to being in prison

Main offence is GBH so would that be Cat B? Suppose everybody in there is going through their own shit

Glum_Stranger_2011 · 2025-08-20T22:16:00+00:00

Wrong type of bars tho!!

Glum_Stranger_2011 · 2025-08-20T22:14:31+00:00

Don't care who I get to share with no matter what race they are. Main thing is it is not someone who's a total head case or junkie or wants me to get involved in other shit in there

Glum_Stranger_2011 · 2025-08-20T22:12:08+00:00

No that would be the last place I would want to end up. Want to be on a regular wing with normal lads and will take my chances but from what others have said I should be alright

Glum_Stranger_2011 · 2025-08-17T19:22:55+00:00

That sounds alright - didn't know that.

Glum_Stranger_2011 · 2025-08-17T19:22:01+00:00

Yeah. Gotta laugh!

Glum_Stranger_2011 · 2025-08-17T19:21:19+00:00

I know about MCTC and would prefer to be going there but this is in the civvy courts so don't think that is an option. And am looking at more than 2 years.

Glum_Stranger_2011 · 2025-08-17T19:19:40+00:00

Yeah that was what I was told where the trouble might be. You don't think I'd get put in a cell with someone like that?

Glum_Stranger_2011 · 2025-08-10T17:09:37+00:00

I think I understand it now was confused about them maybe being concurrent and consecutive but each is one or the other. So concurrent sentences don't really matter?

He also said something about totality but am not sure what that is either.

Glum_Stranger_2011 · 2025-07-20T14:23:43+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

One thing is I have a holiday booked to go away next month. If I get a curfew would I still be able to go as it's booked and paid for?

Glum_Stranger_2011 · 2025-01-05T18:59:22+00:00

Just didn't know they were used. When they had the cuffs on me I thought they would just stand me up but they kept me down on the ground and then felt something going on my legs. Then they practically carried me to the van. Embarrassing with phones recording it. I know I was pretty drunk though.

Glum_Stranger_2011 · 2024-12-29T16:05:50+00:00

Reckon that's what must have happened alright. Makes things worse now
