How soon after transfer before he can call or get a visit?
After an inmate gets moved from one unit to another how long is it before he can call or get a visit

If it's within the same state prison system, there is little to no downtime for phone calls.

If it's within the same state prison system, there is little to no downtime for phone calls. If you were on his previous visitation list, you might have little downtime there too.
