Today was the day [I Hate Court Hearings]

My sentence hearing was today I’m in shock I’m about to spend 8 years in prison I feel empty knew this day was coming all year still doesn’t seem real I have 90 days to turn myself in. I have 90 days before I spend nearly a decade behind bars my nana could die before I’m free. I’m going to take these years to grow as a person and really better myself though. I hope to get into programs so when I do get out I’ll have a certificate or something and could start a career and turn myself around. I’m going to spend the rest of my 20’s in prison I’ll be 31 when I’m released I’ve been crying all day but know I did it to myself I’ve had so many chances and opportunities I got out of a prison sentence last year and only had a few months in jail instead I should have learned then. I had a really good friend on here who has refused to talk to me since my last arrest in December. I have family who has cut me off I’ve lost so much and did some many bad things I can only deal with it and move on I’m in such a surreal headspace right now I don’t know when I’ll turn myself in but I know it’ll be within 90 days and that haunts me

You could get early with good behavior.

My lawyer has told me I’ll most likely only serve half but I’m not giving my hopes up@cherokeepatti

@SW-User I guess it depends on several factors but know someone who got convicted the end of 2018 and she was out of prison after Christmas this past year. I don’t know how long her parole lasts

@SW-User I don’t know how things work in the states as I’m from the U.K. But there’s one guy you can look to for advice YouTube Larry Lawton he’s a former jewel thief he helps people in your situation he did time and was abused but he turned his life around and now helps people avoid crime

I’ve watched some of his videos this year and I’ve watched a lot of Jessica Kent she is a female who was in prison for the same charges I have and she explains a lot about female prisons I’m not ready this shut watching these videos has helped a little @Mattbennet
