Just thought of a question?

Have a question?

Subject: Offender phone calls
How can i call an inmate if am in another country or continent?
In all situations, the inmate must initiate the call. The cost to the inmate to make an international call is pricey. You can reduce the cost by acquiring a US number and relaying it to your international one. InmateAid does part of that solution by getting a US number.
Subject: Visitation
Can you visit someone you don't know or should I write to them first?
No, you will need to have some contact with that inmate and find out if you need to be on "their visiting list" to gain access.
Subject: Offender phone calls
Does this phone services work in north platte ne county jail. And does work for video calls to
The phone service works for inmates and their loved ones in the north platte ne county jail and if you are going to talk a lot, then it makes sense to try it. This service does not include video calls, yet.

I have read reviews about this site after I purchased letter and pictures to be sent and there is alot of mixed reviews. How do I know my inmate is getting what I supposedly have sent?
We have been in business since 2012 serving over one million families of inmates every month. Comparatively, we have a very small percentage of people that complain. Of those that do, we try our very best to make them happy. If you read carefully, it usually has to do with the phone service where they do not READ that this is not a replacement for the service at the jail or prison, but a service that makes their service to your...

Subject: Bond questions
Why would someone be held on a no bail if they are not a flight risk never had a FTA ALWAYS SHOWED UP FOR COURT DATES and has a paid attorney
The short answer is "ask the attorney WTF happened". If what you are saying is true, the attorney dropped the ball, big time. But, most times there is another side of the story. The prosecutor probably presented some alarming fact-based theory where evidence or affidavit has given them the tool (with the magistrate) to get a no-bail hold on an individual.

Subject: Visitation
If I've been to jail years ago and I am not on probation am I allowed to visit with someone in Chowchilla? Also is there visiting right now with the Coronavirus going on?
CDCR has launched limited video visiting to allow friends and family to safely connect with incarcerated people, beginning at five institutions by Nov. 28 with more added through the end of the year. In-person visiting remains canceled statewide until further notice as part of the department’s COVID-19 response. Under the new system, each inmate will have the opportunity for a free 30-minute video visit every 30 days. Visits will take place on weekends and holidays, between 8:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. The...
