Just found out I have to do 9 months in jail....

Sorry do i need to break out some crayons for you to understand this?  Didn't mean to confuse you! 

Sucks to hear man. 

First of all, it's a sad day in America where people are going to County for any marijuana charge....regardless of the amount.  I could go on all day about how marijuana should be legal, but right now that's not relevant.

I agree with the gentleman earlier who said that boredom will be your biggest enemy.  If you've ever watched MSNBC late night, you've probably seen "Locked Up", where they send their camera men into maximum security prisons across the country.  This is not going to be your reality.

Spend the 4-7 months reading, learning and just trying to better your predicament.  After the sentence has been handed down (barring an appeal) try and accept the situation and stay present in it.  Don't try to grasp for something in the past or obsess about the future...just stay present with the current situation.

Read as much as you can, and try not to worry about the cut off from the outside world.  4-7 months might seem like awhile, but in the grand scheme of things, it's nothing.  You'll be out before you know it, so make sure you take advantage of your time the best that you can.

Good luck man.  It's a shitty situation that nobody wants to go through, but you'll be alright.

I agree DL36.

I think as whole we have eachothers best interest in mind!

I would help most people in spite of not knowing them and would hope someone would help me if I needed it ---- inspite of not knowing me.

Freezy I wish you the best on Monday and the next year ahead.

I know alot about Oakland County.

Who is this "best lawyer money can buy"?

Which Judge?

Where will you being do your time?

County (Pontiac?)

State (Jackson?)

Hugh Jorgan....you are right, it is irrelevant at this point.  On the other hand, I believe this is a perfect forum for expressing one's beliefs about legalizing marijuana.

Ofcourse if it were legal, having 20lbs wouldn't make you the same kinf of money, that's for sure.

Go somewhere else.

money on your books, material to read, a walkman,a girl to visit, and call not one that will drive you nuts are things you need

once your in establish a routine, pick a good cellmate, some people do the time,others let the time do them, 9 moths aint shit it will be the fastest 9 months ever if you keep busy by working out reading, and playing cards, shit last time i was in i even had my girl load my 5dimes account and i was placing bets

if your into weed, fill up ballons grease ur ass w/vaseline and stick a couple up ur ass so you can smoke

keep to yourself dont fuck w/everybody,dont smile,learn how to say no,and dont let anyone punk you, other guys will come up to you to show you ropes, and try to be helpful w/ deodorant soap, and stuff untill you go to commisary, just watch they dont want too much in return

but in a nutshell one thing will help you do time most its MONEY

i been locked up 3x in life and did well over 10 years , it sucks

one thing i hope you aint a rat, cause im not into helping snitches
