Research for fiction SUCKS

So I’m trying to write a scene in the book where Patrick comes back to kidnap the twins. Except he’s in prison or supposed to be.

Thankfully, I have very little idea of how the prison or judicial system works, so off to Facebook I go to one of my cop groups.

Turns out he can be released on bond. I should’ve known this from all the Law and Order shows I’ve watched.

This works. Thank you for the information.

I love learning new things, I always have.

It has to be believable. I get this. But, I just want to write the story.
