Going to Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville soon

[lookinattyme]

Hi everyone.. I've read so much up here... and what I've learned most is that you have a tremendous support system here. My twin and I have been sharing this account, and there are a few post here from her.. so try not to get too confused.

I'll be going to Marysville in about a month. My stay there should be brief (six months). I am scared to death, I've never been in trouble before. I'm older (37), and very petite... what does that say for the kind of stay I can expect?

My lawyer says I'll probably just report to county (CCNO) the night before getting shipped out (I hope). A big question I have is what should I bring with me??

Also: Can I smoke? can I take smokes with me? pictures? books? how long do I have to wait to see my family? and what the heck is COmmunity Controlled Probation? will I ba able to move to another town while I'm on it?

Thanks in advance for any help avavilable!
