r/Felons

I’m raising $1,000 to help a friend pursue paralegal education while she’s incarcerated.

She spent two years on pretrial release and stayed sober. During her two years of incarceration, she completed RDAP at camp. She’s working to make positive changes and prepare for life after release.

We’ve raised $200, and we’re trying to raise the remaining $800.

I know that education alone doesn’t guarantee what someone’s future will look like. But I believe investing in education and preparation is a practical way to support rehabilitation.

If you’re able to contribute, I’d be grateful. If not, sharing the fundraiser can help it reach someone who might be interested.

Thank you for reading.

So I have a list of felony's actually. Like 7 or 8 grand larceny and a stolen vehicle and a drug charge. I'm expecting to get a lot of time. I'm out on bail right now. When I do get sentenced and have to go to prison what can I expect as a first timer. Here in Nevada by the way. Any help would be amazing. When I was doing the crimes I didn't even think about the consequences. Stupid me. Now I'm regretting it to the max. Thanks I'm advance for any advice.

Hello,
My brother is gonna be going to prison in Texas, I believe at the John Middle Unit operated by TDCJ. I know nothing about prison really other than what I’ve seen on TV, and it’s really eating me up. I love my brother, he’s really just a dumbass sometimes, who wants to be bigger than what he is, and that is what has led him to be in the situation he’s in. I believe he caught a robbery and assault charge. No one got hurt or murdered or anything, it was more of a fight.. but he’s got a record of doing dumb things.. so he will have to serve some time now*.*

Honestly I just don’t* *want him to get graped. And like I said I know literally nothing about navigating the prison system. Any help or advice anyone can give I would really appreciate it, about what to expect and how to navigate this situation with a loved one.

Thanks.

My uncle is locked up and I have reason to believe he’s been using black in there. I just want to know if there’s something I can do to help him because he’s coming with me when he gets out at the end of next year. I don’t want him to go back because he’s been in and out since 19 years old and he’s 31 now. I know that he’s using because I used to use and can see the signs.

Is there a way I can ask him otp without asking directly (don’t want to get him in trouble)?

What are steps he should/could take when he gets out to best help him succeed ?

Is there anything I should be aware of?

Do you know of any programs in California or Nevada to help felons get reintroduced back into society so it doesn’t feel so shocking?

What did you do to help your situation and what are some mistakes you made that he can learn from?

I am also on probation so I’m trying to do the best I can without putting myself at risk of relapse. Thank you for anyone who can help I’m just extremely worried for when that time comes and I know he is probably too.

Is there any one here have to do the jail time or (know someone) because of the false accusations or do the jail time for the crime you didn’t commit?
How you felt about it ? How did you pass the jail time ?

What’s your story ?

Lawyers on TL, how would you advise someone who's arrested because of mistaken identity to get off the hook?

If he doesn’t get into anymore trouble between now and 4-6 months before May 2027, and works on his 3 codes (1d,3d and 5d-the reason he got denied on his first parole) during his time right now. What are his chances of getting approved on the second one (May 2027). His sentence max date is 04/2028.
Thanks so much.

Hi there. I don’t post often to Reddit, but I had a genuine question. My SO has been on parole since June 2026, and today got charged for CPCS7 (possession 7th) during a traffic stop. I don’t believe he called his PO yet (he will tomorrow am first thing) but I’m sure the cops will be contacting the PO today. He said the cops would put in a good word because he was super polite and didn’t give them any BS.
Should we just expect his parole officer to come to the house tomorrow to do a home search? Has anyone had a residence search and know what they entail? Like, I heard they search common spaces like kitchen bathroom bedroom, but do they go into EVERYTHING in the kitchen/bathroom? (We have so much stuff in our pantry and linen closet- it’s going to be awful cleaning up after they flip everything) And do they go into the basement? Our basement is pretty packed and I REALLY don’t want to have to clean up the WHOLE house.
Plus, to top it off, I’m really scared, no, petrified and super depressed, anxious beyond belief that he’s going to go away again. He has 2 out of 3 years left and I couldn’t function/hold it together the 9 months he was gone before he got out on parole. Idk how I’m going to be if he goes away 2 more years. Any insight about parole home searches would be great. The more details, the better. Thanks in advance.

Hello. I have run across a few companies that don’t check federal and some that have. I wanted to know if the dark web has any services to help pass a background check. I feel like you can just about buy anything on there but I don’t know where to it or if that is even an option. Thanks.

When I was locked up the worst part was the used panties they have us While wearing then it felt like someone had wore then already
