A podcast about what it’s like to go to prison in Canada. This is my own first-hand account. This is me, telling my story of incarceration. I’ll guide you through getting arrested, going to court, going to prison, living out a significant amount of time as an inmate, and then rejoining society. I’ll take you through the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of prison life. From the clothes you wear and the food you eat, to the day to day routines and the instant changes in reality, this podcast will cover it all.

Most people know the things you can’t have in prison, but what exactly are you allowed to have? What do the institutions provide, what can you bring of your own, and how do you get it? This episode explores the personal property that federal inmates are permitted to have with them while they are incarcerated in Canada. Some items are important to some but not to others. What would you bring with you? In this episode I will offer up the best advise I can give surrounding personal property. If you are on your way to prison or know someone recently incarcerated, this episode is for you.

Bail granted, surety decided, now what? What can I do? Where can I go? Who will still be around? Life changed hard for me during this time. I am grateful to have been granted bail no matter the major life adjustment. Days are long yet time is fleeting. There is so much work to do to get ready for court. How do you even get ready for something like this?
