Getting to visit a person in remand prison was a momentous task, I have to go through loops, for I was not related to the person, doesn't have any one here. I have to call, email, fax & BEGGED...& leave a record in their system I called etc. Then when sentenced I called in again..told to email...fax..etc & finally through email I got the time & date. Like I am visiting some prisoner in Gulag...
From all these, it was a learning experience from being arrested...going to courts..being sentenced...visiting someone in prison & through all these, like the saying goes..it pays to be rich. It makes a whole difference...one engages a lawyer..free one...that takes time & processes...so, one will end up more time in remand prison & spend time in remand & may not get the time spent in jail backdated...
But with money & lawyer...it makes a world of difference..the lawyer can poke holes in the system...whereas one is poor...the entire book is thrown at you with full force.....justice is blind & a law is a law....right!
