Is there a list of personal possessions/clothes to pack for prison?

So, the big day is on Wednesday and despite asking my solicitors and looking on the internet, I've not found a definitive list of what you are able to take to court for a possible time in prison.

I've also read you can bring cash for your in prison account, but no one states the top limit of this amount to take with you?

Has anyone either got a link to the information I need or can let me know from your own experiences from going to court.

Thank you.

Fortunately I didn't need my bag, but it was humbling to pack it anyway! I used the 2 links above and the 48 hours in custody article on StopSo to get a good idea.

What they don't tell you is when you go to court and have your bag opened and checked, the Razor, which is allowed in prison, certainly isn't allowed in the court, so might as well not bother buying that!

I got the best outcome for my amount of images (3 year community order, 5 year register/order 45 days RAR and 80 hours unpaid on 1007 images including 110 cat A).

Hi
All I can offer to you now is is my support for you to have a rethink on your offence, and for you to undertake anything and everything that will demonstrate, to not only the "authorities and society"; but yourself and those close to you that rehabilitation is not a myth!

Move on with your life with positivity, but never forget.
