No one plans on getting arrested, but it is important to realize that there are many things in this life that occur that we do not plan on. This is why being prepared is so incredibly important. Whether you think you could end up behind bars or you think it is something you will never have to experience, we suggest that you are at least have a bit of information that could help you. At Affordable Bail Bonding, we have dealt with clients that come from all walks of life, many of whom never saw themselves as someone who would be taken into custody. However, sometimes life throws you a curveball and you simply have to adapt the best you can. In this post, we will offer up three tips that could assist you if you somehow find yourself in your local Salem jail.
Tip 1: Memorize a Few Important Phone Numbers
At Affordable Bail Bonding, we receive numerous phone calls from defendants who have no idea what their friends’ and family members’ phone numbers are. While it was very common to memorize phone numbers before everyone had cell phones, these days, we don’t have to know phone numbers off the top of our heads. Unfortunately, being arrested is one instance when you absolutely still need to know how to contact those who you can rely on. With that in mind, take the time to memorize a few key emergency numbers so that if you do find yourself in a predicament, you know who to contact.
Tip 2: Don’t Say Anything Incriminating While On The Phone
Every single ongoing call from a jail is recorded. If you are talking to a friend, a loved one, or your bail bondsman, make sure that you do not say anything that could potentially harm your case. In other words, stick to the basics when making phone calls from a jail. Tell them why you were arrested, what the is that you are being accused of, which jail you are being held at, and what the cost of your bail is. That’s it. Anything more is likely to have a negative effect on your case.
Tip 3: Don’t Talk About Your Case With Your Cell Mates
Jail is not the place to make friends. While we would, of course, suggest that you remain polite and courteous to other inmates, you need to be sure you don’t talk about your case with anyone who is also being detained. It is not uncommon for jailbirds to trade information about others’ cases in exchange for a reduced sentence.
