I get sentenced on Friday and am expecting 2 years in prison. This has been the worse thing to happen in my life but it has been hanging over me for a while and I knew that this day would come. I know I did wrong and if I could change things I would but I know I can't and will have to do my time.
Do you think that prison works? As I said I know what I did was wrong and would be willing to do days of community service or go on a tag or something like that which would mean I'd still be there for my kids and be able to earn. They are 7 and 5 and they are going to suffer which I don't think is fair.
What is the point in putting people in prison and destroying families when they know they are wrong. I'm not looking forward to prison and am worried about whan goes on in there but I can handle myself so I hope I will be OK.
Also wondering if anybody on here knows anybody who has been inside and how they managed and how they're getting on if they are out? I feel bad now and just can't imagine what it is going to be like in court when I get sentenced and if they handcuff me. I'm not even sure if I want my girlfriend there as I think it would be better if I handled this myself.
