It doesn’t matter if it’s a spouse, a child, a close friend, or a member of your extended member of your family, having a loved one in jail hurts your heart. You want to do everything you can to make life easier for your loved one. The problem is knowing what you can do that will make things easier.
Let Them Know You’re There for Them
Getting arrested is terrifying. Your loved one doesn’t know how long they’ll be in jail, how they’ll deal with the charges, what the possible sentence will be, or what their future will look like once they’ve dealt with the charges. Perhaps worst of all, they don’t know how their loved ones will react now that they’ve been arrested.
While you can’t predict the future for them, you can at least put one worry to bed by letting them know that they are in your thoughts and that you support and care for them. The sooner you do this, the sooner your loved one will start to feel a little more relaxed about their current situation. Knowing that they have at least one person in their corner can do wonders to ease their state of mind.
Be Prepared to Accept Phone Calls
One of the problems your loved one will encounter while they’re in jail is calling people. They have to make collect calls. Many people hang up as soon as they learn about a collect call, sometimes they don’t even wait to hear who is calling. If you know a loved one has been arrested and get a strange call to your number and find out that it’s a collect call, you should accept it. Not only will your loved one feel better once they’ve connected with someone, but they will also likely want to use you to relay messages to other family members that may not be able to receive collect calls.
Research Bail Bonds Options
Even if you aren’t in a position to help your loved one financially, you can at least research some bail bond options. Take a look for bail bonds companies that provide payment plans, work quickly, and offer zero-percent interest bail bonds. In addition to collecting the names of promising bail bond agencies for your incarcerated loved one, you can also contact the bail bonds agency and learn what you’re loved one will need to secure a bail bond.
