Closing Advice

Interview with Mary


JM: Is there anything else you would want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to jail?
Mary: Just take it day by day. realize its not the end of the world and if you just abide by the rules you will get out sooner. the time will fly by fast. as for family, just be there for them. listen to them. listen to their frustrations. listen to their cries, etc...

JM: Is there anything else you would recommend to a future inmate?
Mary: do your time smartly. be careful. make friends not enemies. realize that it will be over sooner than you realize.
