Violation of parole is dumb. You put yourself at the mercy of the judge that had leniency for you. The penalty could be as stiff as having to finish the remaining months on the original sentence with no possibility of an early release. Anything less than that, he should consider himself lucky.
Read moreVisits at a halfway house can begin as early as the first scheduled visitation period after arrival, which is significantly faster than anything available inside a correctional facility. The environment at a halfway house is fundamentally different from prison visitation. There is no glass partition, no pat-down, no rigid time limit enforced by corrections officers watching over every interaction. The atmosphere is relaxed because the halfway house operates on the understanding that residents are in the final stretch of
Read moreYou can't get married at that facility. The city jails are short term facilities and have no provision for inmate marriages whatsoever. Marriage for an inmate would only happen to long-term offenders in a state or federal facility for an inmate with a clean incident report history.
Read moreState and federal prison have different rules on calling. In the state prisons, most inmates have unlimited talk time as long as there is money on the account.

During that window, the inmate is being classified, assigned to a housing unit, and briefed on facility rules and programs. Phone lists, approved visitor lists, and commissary accounts are all set up as part of that process. There is a way to potentially speed things up. Inmates who are proactive about communicating with
Read moreThe only way you'll know is if your inmate tells you. You cannot get a copy of or information regarding to any of the inmate's visiting list, call list, commissary spend, or people that send your inmate money or mail. Believe it or not, inmates have a right to privacy just like you.
Read moreThe inmate uses their commissary (and pay others for theirs) to inventory all of the popular items available and then sell to all the other inmates. The other inmates use the inmate's "store" to supplement their needs between commissary visits, or inmates that are on commissary restrictions. The items you buy from the inmate store come at a premium - in most cases, you get one item and pay back with two of the same items.
Read moreMost prison state systems and the federal (BOP) facilities give the inmates their best possible release date which includes good time. That is 15% off the sentence calculation.
