Magazine deliveries to correctional facilities move on a different timeline than standard mail and in progress does not mean something has gone wrong. Here is what actually happens behind the scenes. When a magazine subscription is ordered through InmateAid, the order goes to the publisher who then mails directly to the facility. Publishers operate on their own printing and distribution schedules, which do not always align with what you would expect from a standard online order. A new subscription can take...

First, the 7th violation is going to raise some eyebrows with the court. Someone, somewhere is going to make an example out of her and give her some real time in a real penitentiary. Maybe it is what she needs? Secondly, sneaking drugs into a jail creates a whole new scenario that will be part of the pre-sentence report filed before her ultimate penalty is determined. Introducing contraband is a felony and 30-days in the SHU is not harsh; in fact,...

The actual determination of being sent back to jail or not lis with the judge who presided over the original case. This is where the word of the probation officer has little weight. They are not the final decision maker. They may very well said, "I'll recommend to the judge to please defer sentencing in lieu of enrollment to a rehab center."

The first step is filing the divorce petition with the family court in your jurisdiction. That filing initiates the case and generates the documents that need to be formally served on your spouse. Service of process is the legal requirement that the other...

Inmates that have money on their inmate trust accounts can purchase stamps and envelopes at the weekly commissary. If they do not have money on their books, the prison will provide indigent inmates with all the materials necessary to send out mail to their loved ones. If your inmate writes to you directly, using your address, the cost of the mailing is a 49 cent stamp. Many of our members use the Inmate Response Mail service through InmateAid. Your inmate would...
