If you are getting ready to turn yourself in for an arrest warrant, feelings of anxiety and uncertainty are perfectly normal.

☑ Play a Game<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

You might be thinking this is a crazy idea; but in fact, it\nworks!  Since a jail cell has nothing in\nit expect a toilet, bench, and sometime a sink, there is not much to use for\nentertainment.  This is where your\nimagination can come in handy.  Below are\nsome fun (or at least distracting<\/em>)\nmind games to play by yourself in order to keep you amused until your bail bondsman\ncompletes their duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

⏳ Pretend you cannot hear and create a funny or new dialogue that follows the lip syncing of jail staff and occupants.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be quite funny, but keep it to yourself so you do\nnot cause a disturbance.  This is\nintended to be a SILENT game.  It is not\nrecommended to upset, insult, or disturb the jail staff; and especially other\ninmates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

⏳ Think of something VERY funny….But do not laugh or smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a fun way to test your mental focus.  Laughter leads to endorphins which cause your\nbrain to be in a happier place.  Doing\nactivities such as this can keep your spirits high while passing the time.  Also, this upbeat attitude could be helpful\nto other inmates in your cell too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

⏳ Remember a huge event in history; then try to imagine the world today if it never happened at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a great brain teaser that can certainly pass the\ntime.  This is a great game for anyone\nwho enjoys history.  Imagine the world\nwithout a popular invention; such as microwaves, cell phones, or even something\nfunny like soda pop!  This thought could\ntransform into thousands, taking up plenty of time during your jail stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

☑ Contemplate a Legal Plan<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

When you are in jail, use your time to consider legal options following your release from jail.\u00a0 Think about your next steps, like hiring a lawyer, discussing your case with family or employers, and more. Perhaps you can think about how you will cover your work schedule, babysitting for the kids, court appearances, attorney fees, and more.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jail gives you ample time to clearly think about all these aspects that a jail stay can affect.\u00a0 This time allows you to sit, uninterrupted, and focus on your next steps once you are released.\u00a0 Sometimes with good behavior, a jail employee may allow you to have a phone book while you are locked up.\u00a0 This is a great place to start looking for attorneys and any other potential services you may need following your release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
