I am a 47 year old guy facing prison for a crime with no victims, but a crime none the less. Other than the one thing I did, I have led a peaceful life and am caring and kind.
This will not only effect me, it will also devastate my family, friends and church. In addition, I am Type 1 diabetic, so a five year term is a death sentence.
I simply cannot handle this. It is impossible, and there’s only one way out.

Five years is a little rough. But its doable. I have a friend who is in prison for like a 45 year sentence…. so he will die in there and never get a chance to get out.
five years you could do.
I know it sounds rough but 5 years is doable. Lots of people do bigger sentences then that.
But I wish you peace no matter what you choose.
Peace my friend
Thank you, PC43, but not as a Type 1 diabetic. Most die within a couple of years, if not a few months. At the very least I would likely lose my sight and my feet to the disease. I have been researching it. The guards, medical staff, and certainly other inmates don’t care a whit about anyone’s health – why should they?
There’s only one way out of this.
I will pray for a miracle ! Thanks for being brave enough to share!
Thank you, Yebobpa. Right when my faith was the strongest I have ever had in my life, this happens. I offered God my heart and soul – my entire life – and now I am losing everything, including any ability to serve him or even survive.
Please hear my heart , and know that I am not being trite when I say God can use you there even more. I am a true follower and lover of people. I will be here anyway I can. I have suffered for years with suicidal ideation. I just happen to be in a good place atm.
Man I feel sorry for your situation. I can understand how hard this must be. Yes a 5 year prison sentence is enough to break a lot of people… and you having Diabetes on top of it surely does make things worse. I dont know what to tell you. I hope by some miracle you are able to make it through this…. or find peace in some way.
Good luck.
this certainly is a serious situation you’re facing.
how much time do you have until you start serving your sentence?
Is there a chance of early release? As a healthcare pro I have seen how difficult the disease can be. Hang in there mate
It will probably be 5 or 6 months before they arrest and charge me, but the lawyer I spoke with is an expert and said chances are likely for a 5 year minimum sentence. I am trying to get all of my finances in order because when that happens, my life is over.
We all deserve a second chance, I hope you gets yours
