I'm new here and frankly, scared to death of going to prison. I'm not sure how long I'll be there, my trial is this summer and no plea has been offered yet, but I'm guessing 7 years at least. I've never gotten in a fight in my life, I'm a shy, giving person, and all I can think is I'm gonna get killed when I get there! It's state prison. I know I sound like a whimp - I guess I am. I've been a mom and wife for over 20 years and this is all so new to me. I was in county jail for 6 weeks and survived it, but prison just sounds too overwhelming to me. Any words of wisdom for the scardey-cat?
