How can you help someone who finds themselves arrested?
It is important to understand that a person who has just been arrested didn’t expect to be here. He has been stripped of all of his possessions and his rights. This is extremely traumatic and it is probably the lowest point in his entire life. He is embarrassed and feels isolated from the rest of the world. At this point there is one thing you can do that can really make a difference. Allow him contact to you. He doesn’t need a lecture at this point because he has probably been harder on himself than anyone could possibly be. He is worried about everything in his life right now because he has not control. He doesn’t know what his future holds and just needs to know someone is out there that will listen. Try to maintain contact in any way. If you can visit that would really help. If that isn’t possible at least let him call you so he can hear someone from the outside world. You can also write to him just to keep him current on the activities of the people he cares about on the outside. All the inmate needs is to know that he is still loved and is not forgotten.
How can I help him cope?
It doesn’t matter who the inmate is, everyone is traumatized by prison. It is difficult to cope with the lack of freedom and privacy as well as the uncertainty of their future. They need support from the people they love. Besides visiting, phone calls, and letter writing you can also send money to their commissary account so they can have a few comforts of the outside world. They can purchase snacks and personal items to make life in prison a little more acceptable. You can put cash into kiosks that are present in most lobbies of the jail and the money will go immediately into the inmate’s account. If you can’t do that, you can send a money order to the following address with the following information:
Inmate’s Name and ID number
Inmate’s Cell Block and Unit Number
Marion County jail
204 North Washington
Salem, IL 62881
If you don’t indicate all of this information on the money order you will probably get it returned to you. The quickest way is to deposit cash if at all possible and you will know the funds are immediately available.
