Going to jail for the first time is difficult - especially if you come from a very conservative background and have not had a chance to meet anybody who has been incarcerated before. My goal is to share a little information about the process of incarceration so first-timers can know what to expect.

Another common misunderstanding that most first-time inmates have is that they are different from everybody else who is in jail. While it is true that some offenders (especially repeat offenders) may not have learned lessons from their jail experiences, most people who are incarcerated are really trying to become better people just like you are. You will definitely meet people similar to yourself in jail - try to be the type of friend to them that you are looking for. This will make your time go a lot faster.
