Harris County Jail

If you are going to be in the Harris County Jail for a period of months, make the most of it. Take GED classes, work on your drug or alcohol problems, spend time reading, and take any programs or classes available to you. Become a trustee if possible. Don't just sit there and feel sorry for yourself or brood about how life is so unfair. Don't involve yourself in anyone else's problems or disputes. Don't talk about your case with anyone except your lawyer, and that means not your mother, sister, or best friend. Keep your head down, mouth shut, and your mind busy and you will come out of the experience ok.
