The stigma attached to having a loved one in prison is often very overwhelming. It is a sad world where I have to protect my identity in fear of repercussions to my career for choices I have not directly made.

@Nye_agbe It is a pain that is never-ending. My son has been in for 12.5 yrs. 2.5 yrs to go, but a life licence after he's released. It really is a life sentence of pain 💔 Love to you all 🩷

I can't believe he's been in prison for 3 years now. It feels like he was home yesterday but at the same time like our lives have changed drastically since he was here. We have memories together during the time apart, but they just look different to the norm.

The time before that they refused him because he had pending immigration matters... even though foreign national prisoners are supposed to be considered for D cat 😒

We find out on Tuesday if he's got his D cat. Last time they refused it because they decided he should do a course they are offering, which isn't part of his sentence plan. He's done the course anyway, is enhanced and has lots of good references 🙏🏾🙏🏾

You don't commit to your circumstances you commit to each other.

I had a conversation with a woman yesterday who has written publicly about her partner's incarceration. I hugely admire her for this, especially the way that she links her professional career with her lived experiences. I truly hope that will be me one day ❤️

I'm not sure who needs to hear this but... It's okay to tell your loved one in prison that you are too tired to speak on the phone. It's okay to have some time to yourself after a busy day. You don't need to stay on the phone. Your mental health matters too.

@FamilyTiesHMP It was our first one and it was so good. A real taste of family life and what it will be like when he hopefully gets his D cat 🙏🏾

We have our first family day today. This is a 3 hour visit and will be the longest we have spent with him since he was home in 2020. Nervous and excited!

IMO As prisoner’s LOs we have to be realistic and honest with ourselves/others. I see so many people minimising crimes 🤦🏻‍♀️. I agree no crime is clear cut, however our partners did commit a crime and by minimising it/giving excuses we are hindering their rehabilitation 🤷🏻‍♀️

We had the most perfect visit yesterday with our daughter after her not seeing her dad for over 7 months. She didn't talk a lot but was smiling loads 🥺

Does anyone else just have a memory of their loved one and zone completely out? Detach from the world for a minute..

@Nye_agbe I wish I could say how great that is… but they call you a resident and treat you like a prisoner. I’d rather be called a prisoner and treated like a resident - but the gesture is a step forward I suppose

I just received an email from my partners new establishment saying "residents book their own visits". This really warmed my heart. 1. Calling him a resident is so humanizing as opposed to prisoner! 2. He gets to take ownership of his visits ❤️

@bootyfuldancer7 Oh sorry to hear that 😞. It's so stressful. You would think when a compassionate transfer is requested they would prioritize it!

@Nye_agbe That's amazing news! My partner and I are 4 months in waiting for a compassionate transfer due to my MS and we've been told it's sat in a pile for 2 months. He's in Aylesbury and I'm in Bristol. So happy for you 💓

After fighting for and challenging a move since January ... He has finally been moved to our local prison! We couldn't be happier! Now our daughter can see him after over 7 months of separation ❤️🙌🏾🥹
