Sorry for your troubles brother. I can feel your pain, I go to my second trial Monday at 1000am for a felony possession of Heroin. They are talking about taking 10 years of my life because I had a problem that didn't get anyone killed or destroy any property. Got pulled over for a busted headlight and the cop saw a box of insulin syringes that I got from my dad, who was a diabetic. It had photos in it of my family.
He got lucky and found a bag under my seat that I had forgotten to throw away. Posessiin f heroin and 4 weeks in jail before I posted bail. Now the prosecutors being a birch and screaming for the Max to "set an example" as this is her first time trying a drug charge. She is trying to deny first time offender status even though I have never had a prior. Just to get a notch on herbl belt.
I wish you all the best, keep your head up and your nose clean in Prison.

Isn't that intimidation? Take or deal cause if you dare asking for a jury of your peers we will nail you to the wall!
That's what this sounds like to me
That's pretty much what you get everytime you go to court. Someone tells you what the deal is, tells you what it could be, and then asks you whether you wanna take it to court or not.
How she rolls.

Thanks. At this point I figure life is life. But this weekend I am doing everything I can just to enjoy life while I can, "just in case". You got any big plans for tonight?

They don't fuck around, the courts hate to be challenged so if u ever decide to go to trial u better damn well have a good lawyer and a full proof case, otherwise they'll fuck u over.. U can't beat a system who's foundation is corruption, ure better off just keeping ur head down and ur mouth shut..

Good luck OP.
I just narrowly escaped a similar circumstance by taking the first deal they offered, I've never seen deals get softer with felony drug charges, only rougher.
I would've taken the first deal without a second though, but that's me.
Good luck, I think I read you said two years? That's not bad, hopefully if you're a good prisoner they'll only make you serve 9 months to a year.

It's just a felony of up to two years. My lawyer seems to think somewhere between 0-1. I'll find out tomorrow. But two years would be the maximum sentence and I highly doubt I will be given that. Probably sentenced to 8 months get out in 6. Who knows though.

Still better then 5.
Stay positive. It's going to suck super hard and only thing you can do is look on the bright side. Lots of people go in for 1-2 Years and fuck up on the inside and get another 5-10 years on their sentence.

Prisons nowadays are very different than they used to be. Keep in mind though that there are rules in prison. Not sure if you are a political person, but prison politics are very real and it's best to know the rules. You don't have to partake actively in the politics but familiarizing yourself with them is best. Each institution has it's politics and rules and even if you are running through it solo, knowing them might help you stay out of a fray.

Just incase you haven't found out already commissary is cash on the inside. If you have a good amount on your books don't flaunt it this can lead to unwanted attention as well. Buy wh a you need and get what you want but never in excess.
I personally am funding my attorney right now but if you want to give me your info, if things work out well with my own legal circumstances, than I would love to put some money on your books.
Prison is a whole other world. Go in like a sponge and listen to what the "old heads" have to say. Then pick and choose what advice to take.
