Ok g walk can you keep that kind of stuff to yourself . Dont try to comment on some situation if you dont know full story

Well we know what you are telling us which you are now trying to claim tax back for working in the hse for 12 years, why would anyone in their right mind think they would be entitled to claim tax back.

If you want helpful comments then give the full story.

the op isnt answerable to anyone on this forum, theyve done a wrong in society, and they have received punishment as such, via our legal system

Apologies if I missed it but I didn't see anywhere the OP saying that they are the person going to prison?

youre obviously going in for a reason

He dosent have to share his full story. Hes on here asking for advice. Well obviously hes going in for a reason and that reason is none of your business. He has come on here for advice and not to be put down. Some people can be so THICK. Op keep ur head down and ul be fine. Everyone has a bad patch in life but u will rebound from this. All the best

No he doesn't have to share his story, but if he's going in for child porn or some such, he's in for a much different ride than if its white collar crime. But point stands as above, keep clean, keep busy and do everything you can to never return.

It won't hurt ya OP to watch this fairly recent vid on YouTube

This guy was interviewed on the Moncrieff show a few months back. He wrote a book on his experiences in jail in England and a survival guide, might be of some use. Best of luck OP.

A big factor is if you have previous convictions.

If you don't and unless you have basically killed someone you will more than likely avoid jail.

Hi op
No advice to add other than keep the head down, engage with any education/work available there and keep safe.

People make mistakes. Sh@t happens and life isnt smooth for everyone but you sound like a decent person who deserves a chance so hopefully it wont come to prison time.
Take care

OP,
You may be entitled to a tax refund in the current tax year. Normally tax credits are balanced over the year so if you don't complete the year in employment you may have some unused tax credits. In effect you will have overpaid tax.

The quickest way to recoup the tax is through an annual return on Revenue myAccount site. You will have to provide bank account details but I guess you can set all this up in advance, if not done already.

All of the above is outside of a conviction/jail situation - I honestly don't know if that changes anything.

Hope it all works out for you - we all make mistakes in life.

Unless you have a prior history of convictions or have committed a very serious crime like killing or sex crime then you won't be going to prison.

Even if you get a custodial sentence for a minor crime you will likely be bought to prison, sign in, sit in a waiting room for a few hours then be released on good behaviour or some other excuse.

Ehm, if the OP is looking to "get his affairs in order", then he has been told to expect prison. Defence lawyers do not tell their clients to get their affairs in order over minor offences with a clean history. From what we know, there's a chance the custodial sentence will be suspended but from the OP's comments (and apologies, OP, if I am misreading), it looks like a slim chance. If it was expected that it would be a short sentence, he wouldn't be told to get his affairs in order.

We don't need to know the details of the offence etc. but if the OP is expecting prison, it was a serious offence.

OP, I do not have anything to add beyond what has been already advised in relation to taking any work that is on offer, kitchen, laundry/cleaning etc. And workshops, education and training with a view to securing employment after your release are very beneficial. There is more optimism and willingness to employ ex prisoners after release these days, although it is still very difficult.

It will depend on what prison you go to but you may not have a cell to yourself, at least initially. Hopefully you will have a single occupancy cell and won't have to share but expect to be sharing.

Single cell now. Sharing ended.

Everywhere? News to me clearly but I've not been on a prison visit in years as I have zero criminal practice. If so, it's good news.

I thought for example Mountjoy would never be able to have single occupancy.

Connor is that you ? (for the day that's in it)
