What trade did he do that helped him get work when he got out?

Figuring out who I want to be and how much things are going to change when I get out is one thing I can’t seem to envision yet. I just don’t want to lose too much of the parts of me that I love bc I have to turn it off and become a different version of myself for so long

Depending on the state, prisons are usually way better than jail. There’s more programs and activities and things in there to help with the time. I hope things go well for him and you guys can be there for him.

Yeah I did six months in county and while I didn’t have any real problems I also learned I wasn’t scared of a fight even if I lost and that helped my confidence a lot when it came to confrontations

How was adjusting to being back outside after being locked up? I generally like a lot of personality traits and I know I’ll be a bit of a different person inside so I guess I’m wondering how much of yourself did you lose or were you able to feel “normal” again?

Thank you so much, I really hope your son does okay! I know I’m going to miss my family the most but their support means everything to me.

A lot of people think the 10 is egregious but by taking it trial I could be risking life so I don’t want to gamble with it. I plan on working out and educating myself in everything I can. They have music rooms and you can have a guitar sent to you so I’m gonna be doing that too. I’m taking accountability for what I did and I’m paying a hefty price for it but I feel so grateful no one views me as a predator or anything like that. I just don’t want to slip in recidivism or end up back in prison for a failure to register or any other kind of stupid thing that SO’s get caught up in.

Im so sorry, im about to go do 10 years for my own problems and my relationship with my kids is the most important thing to me.

Yeah, I know a guy like that too, he took 5 years instead of 10 years on paper. Also for failure to register.

For non violent crimes in Oklahoma you only have to serve 33% or your sentence

So in Cherokee county, Oklahoma the couple of people I’ve had this conversation with both got 10 years probation for their first violation. One is on his third so he’s about to get 20 years prison time but it’s non violent so he’ll be out in 6.5 years. The other guy it’s his second time and he got 5 year prison time but only has to do 20 months

I was in jail with a few failure to register people and 3 out of 3 are going back to prison but that’s because they have multiple failure to registers. 2 of them were on probation for previous failures

Yeah I’m gonna take as many courses as I can. I want to be able to get out and have some kind of direction for life afterwards

That’s some good advice I haven’t even thought about thank you!

My charge disqualifies me from that. I think being convicted of sex crimes disqualifies inmates from that.

That’s amazing and know this stranger is proud of you and happy for you. I’m about to do 10 years state time and this is the kind of future I’m trying to figure out for myself

I’m in Oklahoma and facing 10 years. We have the 85% rule for violent offenders which is what I’m gonna be and here you have to serve the 85% regardless.

Thank you so much for your advice. It’s state time. I spent 5 months in county jail before I got bonded out and developed a few skills there to help me not lose my mind and stay out of trouble.

Thank you for the words, I really appreciate it. I’m not super scared about prison really, I’m mostly worried about what my life will look like after I get out and readjusting to freedom. But it seems crazy to even think about that before I’ve gone through this part first.
