SO, YOUR LOVED ONE IS FACING ARREST
LAUGH IT OFF
Few things are more paralyzing than a loved one getting arrested. But if you’re waiting for a knock on the door or that fateful phone call reporting the handcuffs have clicked, don’t lose hope — as a friend or family member, you can show your support in plenty of ways. 1. STAY IN TOUCH. We can’t stress this point enough. In our experience, nothing eases a person’s mind like knowing their friends and family are just a phone call, text message, or email away. If you have a loved one who may be arrested soon, reach out to them! Ask if they need anything, and let them vent their fears and worries. 2. CHECK IN ON THEIR MEDICATION. If your loved one is struggling with a mental illness or other condition that requires medication, one important thing you can do is make sure their prescription gets to them no matter where they are in the criminal justice process. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), the ideal option would be for your loved one to inform the jail staff of their needs. However, if necessary, you can contact their psychiatrist and ask them to reach out to the prison or police (this is completely legal). If they refuse, reach out to your loved one’s doctor next. “It is best to do this in writing and then follow up with a phone call,” NAMI says. “This will ensure a written record of your request.” Be sure to mention your loved one’s diagnosis, the type of medication, and contact information for both you and related medical professionals. 3. DO YOUR RESEARCH AND OFFER RESOURCES. Making sure you’re calm, collected, and informed can go a long way toward helping your loved one feel the same way. Do your research on the arrest, bail, and hearing processes here in Georgia, then share links and resources with your loved one. Knowing they can come to you for answers will be a huge comfort! The fourth thing you can do almost goes without saying: Make sure they have a great lawyer at their side.
