Just stepped through the gates at HMP Hull?
Take a deep breath. You are out, and you are not on your own. Right now, you’re probably holding a plastic property bag, a £76 discharge grant, and a lot of stress. The next 72 hours are the most critical. Let’s get your day one sorted right now.
1. Your Day One Checklist
- Report to Probation: This is your absolute priority. Missing this is an instant ticket back inside. Get there on time.
- Secure Your ID & Documents: Keep your release papers (licence) safe. You need them for housing, benefits, and bank accounts.
- Protect Your Money: That £76 doesn’t go far. Prioritize a bus pass and immediate food.
