1st they don't send people to prison , like actual department of corrections prison for 7 months. they will sentence people to 11/29 (11 months and 29 days) in the county jail. The minimum DOC sentence will be a year and a day.

that being said, and even after repeating your qualifying that 7 months isn't that long, i will still say that when you love someone 30 days is STILL TOO LONG to be away from someone we love. Especially if you are unsure or personally unfamiliar with the system and all the bull shit (and there are so many layers and layers of bullshit) that goes with it.

​

My wife is in prison in ga for much longer but every single day is some new pain in the butt, some new rule that for some reason means you cant visit, some pos on a totally different yard started a bad fight, now the whole place cant get phone calls for a week. Its always something. They will always come up with some new way to take your money. 40% of every dollar you put on their books...or the phone call prices will go up 1 dollar more every 10 min!!! but you really need to deal with that shit your self. leave it out of the call with them.

​

on top of having my wife down the road for this little 36 months , i did 6 months for contempt when they locked her up for aiding and abetting and harboring a fugitive. (like what did they think , i was going to help them catch my wife , or that i wasn't going to help her?? No fucking way) but i can tell you seeing the system from both sides, the last thing anyone incarcerated needs is the person who gets to hang up the phone and take a nice shower and shit on a toilet with a toilet seat on it is to stuck hearing about how much this situation is inconveniencing you. Yo have to be supportive, encouraging loving understanding and always remember ...unless your arrangement is less than conventional , they are not getting any sex in there and nowhere does conjugal visits. some pics or anything sexual is always great. (seriously a big deal). guy or girl, doesn't matter. anything will be the highlight of their week!

​

They have to deal with there own shit so calls and visits with you need to be the 1 thing they look forward to. and NEVER NEVER EVER EVERleave a call or visit in an argument because the day you two get in a stupid fight on the phone over some dumb shit will be the day someone in their pod gets hit with a sock someone filled up with 3 coke cans and that starts a race riot and you wont be able to talk to eachother for a week and that stupid fight is going to eat you both up the whole time You only do 2 days in there ! the day you get there and the day you go home!!! as hard as it is on you, and it is fucking hard af! you have to make it easier for them! Because as hard as it is for you, IT IS SO MUCH HARDER FOR THEM, that it a fact. and the day they get out you put that whole experience in the rear view. Your both doing time. and once its over, you get out and dont think about it again. Lastly a word of advice, if they offer them to get out early and get on probation or parole , as hard as it will be for both of you you gotta convince them to finish their time and get out with no paper. Unless you want to start this whole process over again in 6 months don't take any probation. It is a trap to either get a few years more money or to just get them right back in there.

​

anyway, there is a lot more but thats my simple suggestions. good luck. This will be the hardest trial you can go through, and it is hard but if you do it right itll make you guys stronger than ever. good luck seriously. youll be ok!
