Two month sentence inmates are called "short-timers". The inmates they will do time with are not interested in fighting unless they feel disrespected. Disrespect can come in many forms but if the inmate keeps to themselves and doesn't create conflict, if they keep their mouth shut, their opinions to themselves nothing will happen. As easy as it is to stay out of conflict and just as easy to get into conflict. If he is telling you it is not that bad, he will

Normally, you will have to set up an account for him to call you. Some facilities allow the inmates to buy phone cards at the commissary, if this is so then you can fund his trust account and he can dial direct. If you are long distance, the cost of the calls will be more expensive than if you were local. InmateAid's service takes care of this, if you want us to check your number against the prison's location we

Funeral attendance requires the warden granting a furlough. Furloughs are rarely granted and one to another state is unheard of. The inmate will need to contact the chaplain and their counselor. There will be paperwork necessary to be submitted to the warden for approval. It is not a quick or easy process - and unless your inmate is in a minimum facility with a light sentence left to serve it is doubtful that it will be allowed.

Information doesn't make it's way out of state prison easily. If you are genuinely concerned you should call the chaplain at the facility and let them know your thoughts. Most of the time, it is nothing more serious than a loss of privileges for an incident report, or it could be a group punishment where they disallow phone calls for a period of time.

Absolutely. It does not replace any phone carrier that is in place at the county jail, it makes their calls cheaper by making the inmate's outbound call a local call. There is a big price difference between local and long distance pricing dialing out of a county jail. If your number is not local, email us the name of the jail and your phone number. We will run a diagnostic on the computer to see if there is enough of

Depending on the facility, there are two or three companies that provide commissary packages but only a small number of facilities accept delivery from them. Where is your inmate?

You did not mess up. Drinking that ends up with violence is why there are jails. People who do not know better and need to be caged to protect those that beat their "loved ones". This is not something that will play well in front of a judge.You are not going to get the opportunity to say this in open court, and probably not smart to say it at all. The national pulse on domestic violence is not offering high tolerance, either.  If

That begins and ends with the sentencing judge. Parole is a privilege that can only be offered by the judge in the Judgement and Commitment document. This will detail all the elements of the crime, the sentence and all stipulations attached - call the clerk of the court and ask for the judge's secretary, they have the information and it is available to the public for the asking.
