What To Expect When You Go To Jail For The First Time

It’s hard to prepare yourself for jail when you don’t expect to get arrested (unless you had this coming). It’s terrifying, you’ve seen all the bad and scary from television and movies. You won’t survive.

That’s not true at all. Don’t freak yourself out. It’s best to remain calm and cooperative. Here are some pointers in case you ever need them:

• Watch and listen to other inmates who you will be spending a little bit of quality time with (hopefully only a few hours, if we at Riverside Bail Bonds can help it). These are all different types of people you’re probably not used to and you’ll be quite chummy with them in close quarters. Take it easy.
• Respect others but don’t let yourself to be walked over too. Have your own self-respect to stand up for yourself if needed.
• Be careful not to touch anyone, even if by accident. Don’t touch their belongings either.
• Don’t speak let yourself in on someone else’s conversation unless you’re asked. It’s generally not the best idea.
• Don’t snitch on another inmate.
