I can think of a couple things I've done that would have been at least 5 years. My friend got 4 for trafficking, but didn't learn his lesson and kept it up inside. Got 9 added. Oops! He's in a good space mentally and I think it helps having a stable person on the outside to talk to... get aclimated to reality. His dad is around, but he's not a citizen so not sure how that's going to work with him living there and pops not being legal. It's going to be an adventure trying to get him on his feet. But his mind is in a good spot. I can tell he doesn't want to go back, and is ready to be an adult. It sure would suck to have to grow up overnight like that.

I was really impressed when I asked what he wanted to do when he got out. He just wanted clam chowder in a bread bowl, and then go somewhere quiet. Nice to hear he didn't want to score some blow, get some hookers, and take off to vegas before meeting his P.O.

Any tips anyone has on transitioning from prison back to the outside world are welcome! Neither he nor I have done this before.

Take it slow and allow him to get his feet under him. Help him learn to deal with life in the real world and by being a friend that he knows he can count on. It's not going to be easy, but you have the heart to make it work.

:peace:

Take it slow for sure. He has been living in an Institution eating, sleeping, shitting, walking when he is told to. Just be his friend and try to keep him moving towards a goal. Job, house, hobbies etc etc. Just learning how to socialize with the general public will be a shock for him. If he has lots of support from his friends and family he should be fine. You're a good friend Jig, most people won't think twice about turning their back on a criminal.

I personally haven't been but I have family that have done time. The hardest thing imho is as mentioned here, support of the right life. It is very hard to fly straight since it's usually tied to extended check ins to a parole officer with a laundry list of dos and don'ts at times that make it impossible to hold down a job (a do). Of course they often have been dreaming of burning a doob for years which can hang em up on their first ua. If he is "time served" he has a much better chance to focus on normal life. With support he won't get as depressed about having to get back in the workforce and avoid wanting to do what got him in trouble in the first place. That part is hard as it turns out, I have one cousin that really had a hard time with that, he went back twice because as my grandma says "he has sticky fingers" lol That made it hard for family to trust him, the whole burn me again shame on me thing. He is doing well now, I attribute it to those of us that despite his past still gave him the benefit of the doubt and believed in him. I always try to encourage him to look to the light and not let others doubt into his heart!

Your just the right man Jig! You have this nurturing spirit, I have seen it! My prayers are with you man.

I didn't realize there was a word for it! I remember the last time the one cousin I was referring to said "I can't do it, I'm just going back" and he did!

I'm sure you'll fill the bald spot. Haha... wish I could just veg my hair a little longer to cover my bald spot. Yeah man that's looking real good. Happy plants!

Could you take a kinda close up of the plants... I just wanna see what they look like. And what's it look like under tha screen, did you pull all the growth out from under there? That'll keep the airflow nice down there and keep humidity down... plus you wont have little popcorn buds way down the plant. Just big ones in direct light. I usually pull all that stuff off the first week or so of 12/12. It also keep the stretch down because the plants are a little shocked.

Had a great time today. Worked lots outside. Got my first yard work blisters on my hands of 2013. That means good days ahead. Talked to and saw just about every neighbor... we were all out enjoying the sun. The plants are real happy and I've been meaning to snap some pics.

My buddy gets out the pen in less than two weeks. I'm super excited for him. Shit that must be a wild change going from being 21 and living the high life in the street, heading away for a long time, then coming out at 34 with nothing but some clothes and your gate money. So glad I never got popped for all the shit I did. Thanks angels! :)

Inktristing! I usually waited till after the stretch to trim below. I wanted to see/know what all was gonna be above the screen first. I see some heavy leaf trimming coming soon too, too much canopy covering my buds!

When I was a kid I sold weed and speed, I got out of that lifestyle when I was 20. Not 3 months after I stopped my closest friend (drug friend) went to jail, he got 3 years and served 18 mos. I know without a doubt I would have been with him when that went down and who knows what type of life I'd be in now. I have a couple other friends who went to jail, and 3 friends who died from drug related issues.

My cousin is older than me, hes like 50, he's been in jail more of his life than out. He started with juvy back when he was like 15 and its just been a never ending cycle. He doesnt know how to live or cope on the outside. His longest stint was 14 years, was addicted to crack and beat his GF. She was a minor which compounded it. He found god at some point, and was really seeming to have shit straight. He met a girl through like a penpal type shit, actually married her and had 2 kids through conjugal visits. This is all while locked up still.

He got paroled. Due to the nature of his first arrest there was some type of order that he couldnt be around children. So he meets his PO at a Dennys or some shit with his wife and kids, and they arrest him for breaking parole, by being with his kids! Weird shit, so he went back in for more years and after that I think he just lost it. He ended up not being with the girl anymore or seeing his kids. He got paroled again, my dad was trying to help him out with some church related shit and he seemed ok. Somehow ended up back in northern cali and doing drugs again, decided he wanted to go back so he took his PO hostage. He's been in ever since, this was over 10 years ago.

I rambled a bit, but the moral of the story I guess, it can be very hard for a long time ex-con to make good on the outside. Good luck with your friend. Theres only so much you can do.
