My husband of a whole six days was put into jail yesterday. I've never been in trouble with the law nor have I been very close to anyone that has. I don't know what to do or what to expect. Is he going to be able to call me and when? I know his visitations are from 9am till 4pm on Fridays for two hours. But do I get the entire two hours or do I have to share it with other people? I can barely handle the fact that he's there and not with me, but it would probably be better if I understood things. Please help!

Welcome to our site. Each facility is different. You can generally even look the jail up on line and that will give you lots of info. You'll need to find out if the 2 hour visit is in a room with others (much better) or behind glass and speaking into a phone. Don't feel alone - ask any questions you want. Most of us here have never been in this situation before either and it truly is difficult to deal with but the people on DS are very caring, non judgemental and want to help --- just ask and we'll be here for you. You might also ask others who are in your area for advice. My son's in Tx

He can make collect calls as soon as he's processed. Make sure your phone can accept collect calls.
