Visiting an Inmate

You are scared and angry. You feel betrayed. Your man just called from the county jail saying he would be there for a while, and that you would see why on the news.
He was right. Over the next few days it was on the news. A drug deal went bad; someone had a gun and a cop was wounded. It was serious enough that it could put your man in the state penitentiary for five years.
In the time you had been together, he always earned a decent wage and had taken care of you and the kid he gave you.
Fortunately, you still had your job.
Because the husband of a woman you worked with had been in both jail and prison, you knew that you would soon need to make arrangements for visits. You also knew that your man would be asking you to deposit money to his spending account as well.
This book should give basic answers to many questions you will have.
Or you may be the mother of a college student who just called from a city jail in his university town.
As you would learn later, he was at a fraternity party before the Christmas break. He was drunk and pulled a knife on someone, injuring him.
That would eventually put him in prison for several years.
You and your husband will also want to read this book. You will need to know about visitation, how to make deposits to his spending account, and the rules concerning the mail you can send to your son.
