The CDCR has up to three weeks to hand out mail - by state law. It is by far the worst state for delays but they are backed up by a legislative statute that gives each mail room supervisor the right to delay mail delivery - by three weeks. 

The phone service at the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility is set up through bid process covering all of the Oregon DOC facilities. Telmate has the contract for all inmate outbound calling and to tape record the calls. Therefore, you have to use them to receive calls - they are the only provider. The choice is whether you pay Telmate for a long distance call (to Eugene) or a local call (to a number we would provision you). Here is how

If they are taken into custody without being Mirandized, there is a motion your attorney can file for release based upon this - but be very sure that this advise actually fits the facts in this case.

FCI Edgefield is a new prison that also has a satellitecamp. Your boyfriend's sentence might place him in the camp which would make his time a lot less stressful. Good time is automatically given to the inmate, only bad behavior and rule breaking can take it away. A twenty-one month sentence would be reduced to just under eighteen months. The halfway house will be between 1-6 months - more likely 2-3 months. We thing that he will do about 15
