thanks a lot for answering these questions, we really appreciate it.
so I guess the main thing my wife said to send her is books so she can occupy herself while confined, but obviously there must be some kind of process to to do that but it is probably do able right. Also you say she will definitely need some money for necessities as well right.
one thing my wife is trying to look up now and I might as well ask other people including you is if
1. There are guards at watch over cell areas, shower areas (which we assume have no privacy) to prevent violence or assault or anything like that
2. what kind of questions they ask upon entering and what kind of tests they do, so she can prepare answers and for those tests that will be done on her beforehand.
if you don't know, it is no problem, again thanks a lot for helping shed some light on this

Trauma answered Tuesday January 29 2013, 1:31 am: I'm not entirely sure on the specifics, and I'm sure the level of security varies from prison to prison as well. From what I've heard, there is always at least one guard walking the halls, so if a fight breaks out in a cell, it should be broken up fairly quickly. There are windows in the cell doors as well, and I know the jail in my town has a call button on the wall in each cell, in case anything happens or an inmate needs something. I would assume prisons have something similar. I'm really not sure how the shower situations work, but I'd assume there would be a guard outside the showers at least, and would know if anything happened.
As for questions, generally they'll ask a lot of health questions to get an idea of any preexisting conditions, or anything else they need to keep an eye out for. If your wife has any dietary restrictions or anything like that, the booking process would be a good time to bring those up. She should also prepare all medications and prescriptions ahead of time, if she's taking any. Most of the time, these need to be pre-approved, so it's best to have everything ready. She'll have her picture taken, and possibly fingerprinted. I'm not sure what other tests or questions she may be asked. [ Trauma's advice column | Ask Trauma A Question ]
