The facility will provide a deposit slip to the inmate notifying them that they have money to spend for commissary
Subject: Inmate transfer
My inmate is in solitary and has anxiety issues, is there anything we can do to get him transferred?
There is very little you can do about the housing situation of an inmate. The designation is decided and approved by the administration and they internally document their reasons for every decision. These decisions are not available to the public. Once an offender is the property of the state, there is nothing an outside influence can change. He may petition his case manager for a transfer but the status of SHU is not available for appeal.
If he has been locked...

A 10 serve 2 sentence means the judge imposed a 10-year sentence but built in a mandatory minimum of 2 years that must be served before any parole consideration kicks in. It is a structure used in some state systems that gives the court a way to impose a longer sentence as a ceiling while setting a floor that guarantees some minimum time is served, regardless of behavior or parole board decisions.
For a first-time offender on a shoplifting charge, a...

Traffic tickets alone rarely result in extended jail time. Most people are held briefly until a bail amount is set and paid or until a court appearance is scheduled. The length depends on whether any additional charges, warrants, or aggravating circumstances are attached to the arrest.

Subject: Inmate phone calls
Inmates cannot receive calls. You will have to be on the receiving end of the call. There are several ways that this will work. Collect calls - are about $15 each and the most expensive way to talk. Inmate calling cards - inmates buy them from the commissary and then may dial you direct - the cost of the call is debited off the balance on the card. Pre-paid Account - you will need to set up an account with...

There are several solid questions here so let's take them one at a time.
On the sentence calculation, one third of a 15 month sentence works out to five months. After serving two months, roughly three months remain before hitting that one third mark. Whether one third is the relevant threshold depends on the specific system and the offense. Some state systems use one third as a parole eligibility benchmark while others use different fractions or percentage based calculations. The federal...

The inmate profiles are set up by the member/users of the website. We do not monitor, verify or update the profiles unless requested by the member/user.
If you would like us to create an inmate profile we would be happy to do it for you. We need as much information as possible to locate them. Their name, DOB and state are the minimum amount of information we'd need to get the search going. We will set up the profile for you...

Mail is considered sacred in a prison, detention center or jail and it will get delivered when an inmate is in administrative segregation, the SHU or "the hole". They can also get money into their account but the actual spending will be somewhat restricted to a limited amount of items at the commissary.
