The process is simple. You wait in the parking lot and he comes out to you.
There is no check-in process, no paperwork for you to complete, and no reason to go inside the facility. Release processing happens entirely on the inside. Staff complete the discharge paperwork, return his personal property, issue any remaining account balance, and walk him through the final administrative steps before he is released. When everything is finalized he walks out the door and you are right there waiting.
A few practical things worth knowing for the day. Release processing does not always happen at a precise time even when a specific date is confirmed. Bureaucratic delays, paperwork backlogs, and the general pace of institutional administration mean he could come out earlier or later than expected. Build flexibility into your schedule for that day and do not make time-sensitive plans immediately after the pickup.
Bring your ID in case anyone asks who you are in the parking lot, though staff rarely engage with people waiting outside. Have your phone charged and accessible in case he is given a chance to call or text before coming out.
Eleven days is close enough to start preparing practically for his return, not just the pickup itself but the first days and weeks after. Having a plan for the transition, knowing the conditions of any supervision he is under, and making sure the home environment is ready are all worth thinking through now while there is still time.
He is almost home. Park, wait, and be ready to see him walk out that door.
Here is an example for the Union County Jail in PA. They use SecurusTech. The calls through them are $10.70 per 15-minutes. InmateAid will get you a number that makes the same call for only $3.15 for 15-minutes. So, we are a thorn in the side of these companies that have a monopoly on the service. The savings of $7.55 per call will wash away the $19.95 fee we charge in only three calls - to get the correct number for the lowest price, other companies like ours come and go. They use names like the real phone companies to confuse you. Don't be confused, simply email us and ask if a discount is even possible because over 30% of the facilities do not even have savings possible. But they won't tell you this.
