When an inmate arrives at a new facility, phone access does not begin immediately. There is an intake and orientation process that typically takes one to two weeks before your husband will have the ability to place calls. During that window he is being processed, assigned to housing, and meeting with his unit team. Phone and visitation lists cannot be submitted until that process is underway. Here is what you can do right now to be ready when he is. Find out which phone carrier the new facility uses. Most federal facilities use the Trust Fund Limited Inmate Computer System through the BOP, while state facilities use contracted providers like GTL, Securus, or ICSolutions depending on the state. A quick call to the facility's main number can confirm this. Set up an account with that carrier. You do not need to wait for your husband to call first. Creating a prepaid account in advance means that as soon as his phone access is established and your number is on his approved list, he can call without any additional delays on your end. If the calls will be long distance, InmateAid's discount telephone service can provide a local number that routes to your existing phone. That brings the per-minute cost down significantly from what long distance rates would otherwise be. Once your husband has phone access and submits the local number for approval, calls come through at local rates. Send a letter in the meantime. Letters do not require the same approval process as phone access and can reach him during the orientation period. Include your phone number clearly in the letter so he has it when he is ready to call.
InmateAid does provide discount phone service for inmates at USP Terre Haute in Indiana. If you have heard otherwise or had trouble getting it set up, we want to make sure you have accurate information so you can take advantage of the savings. Here is how it works. InmateAid provides you with a local phone number in the same rate center as USP Terre Haute. Your inmate dials that number through the facility's phone system instead of a long distance number, which brings the per-minute cost down to local rates. On a federal sentence with 300 minutes per month, the difference between long distance and local rates represents real money, often the difference between paying $63 a month and paying around $18. To get started, log into your InmateAid account, go to the Discount Telephone section of your dashboard, and add a local line for USP Terre Haute. Once you receive the number by email, your inmate submits it to their counselor or unit team manager to be added to their approved call list. After it clears that approval process, calls come through at the local rate. If you have already tried to set this up and ran into a specific problem, reach out to InmateAid directly and we will sort it out. The service works at Terre Haute and we want to make sure you are getting the benefit of it.
I am a French user but I made a promise to a detainee who was publicized whose name I will not mention a short time ago. He was sentenced to life and despite his young age, we had an exchange when he was still in the old prison where his trial was in progress. After the verdict, it was very hard work to find him. Today I sent him a letter and I hope he will be allowed to reply to me. I hope he is well, I hope that despite what he has done, his mail will be delivered to him because I only count on this site to hope to resume a correspondence with him. Every inmate deserves a contact, no matter what they do, I don't have to judge, it's been done. Inmate Aid, you are now my only link to this person who has been talking about him so much lately... you are also his only hope that his French friend can reconnect with him.
So I'm at home and I decided to enter my first, middle, and last name into Google to see what came back. The very first link at the top was an InmateAid profile stating I was in a correctional facility. That was not accurate. I reached out to inmateaid via www.inmateaid.com/contact and explained the inaccuracy. I also emailed them at aid@inmateaid.com. I did these two things at about 6:45pm. By 7:15pm they responded back to me and had the profile removed. I confirmed it was in fact removed. I am still waiting for Google to remove the search result, but I could not be happier with InmateAid's quick turn around. Thank you!
I just wanted to thank all who operate this site it is by far the coolest thing about this whole unfortunate event that's has taken place in my gf and my life. So thank you very much
Someone I care about is incarcerated and your company has helped us both adjust to each other's absence. I have sent 312 custom-designed postcards to my inmate over the last 2.5 years using your service. I've tried other companies who offer similar services but the quality of their finished products was terrible. My inmate was so excited when I started using Inmate Aid and told me that everyone including staff were impressed with his postcards. I have lauded your services to anyone who would listen, thank you so much for helping me keep in close contact with my loved one. We appreciate you.
Thank you all for the phone line.It was very helpful on saving me money.My boy friend is coming home on the 23 .Thanks so much.
During the last 5 years, my brother, sisters, and I used the service of Inmate Aid. We won't be needing the InmateAis service anymore. It always worked out great and we would like to thank you for the good service.
My review is the service was wonderful and very accommodating, I never knew there was this kind of service before. As I searched the website and got the information I read and reread til I understood how the service work. I followed the step as stated in the information. And immediately the service was working for my inmate. Most importantly when I needed my questions answered they were answered immediately. Thanks again for this great service.
User friendly website and quick process of the services. Also very easy to use. Fenny K.
It's a nice system to have
Inmate aid is definitely the most responsive group of people. Everyone I have dealt with in the last 2 years has been marvelous! Especially Courtney! She is just so human and real (you know, as opposed to reading me that "scripted" response). I recommend you to everyone in my situation. Thankfully, I don't know many...lol.
Thanks for your help. I love this website. I'm glad I have the ability to send pics and letters.
It's great to know about this service and I will surely use it in the future if needed. Nothing against all of you lol but I hope it's not needed. It certainly has been helpful and everyone is very helpful.
