A cross-state transfer for someone serving 60 to 70 years for murder while in protective custody at a maximum security facility is extremely unlikely, and understanding why helps set realistic expectations. Protective custody exists because the facility has determined the inmate cannot safely be housed in general population. That designation alone signals to any receiving institution that this person comes with significant management considerations. Moving someone in that status is not a simple administrative transfer, it requires coordination between two separate...

An inmate's ability to block contact is more limited than most people assume, and they have zero control over their administrative information. On the administrative side, inmates cannot change their name in the system or alter their booking number under any circumstances. Those designations are assigned by the jurisdiction at intake and are fixed. The facility controls that information entirely, and no inmate request changes it. On communication, the picture is a little more nuanced. An inmate can request that a specific...

Yes, InmateAid's discount phone service works at facilities across the country including Morgan County Missouri in Versailles. Here is how the savings actually happen. Every county jail contracts with a phone carrier through a government bid process, and because there is no competition built into that system, the rates end up far higher than they should be. InmateAid works around that by providing a local phone number that your inmate dials instead of your regular number. Since local calls are cheaper...

Fifteen days without contact is genuinely hard and the anxiety that comes with a transfer and continued silence is something families deal with more than anyone talks about openly. Here is what is likely happening and what to expect. When an inmate is transferred from one facility to another, in this case from the Denver Reception and Diagnostic Center to a facility in Canon City within the Colorado Department of Corrections, there is almost always a processing gap before full privileges...

Yes, our services work at every facility in the United States. There are some instances where the phone service does not save money - if that is the case we do not issue a number, we simply refund the transaction. But everything else is reliable and convenient - there is nothing like it on the internet. If you would like an honest estimate of the phones savings, if available, send us your telephone number and the facility name and we will...

It happens more than it should, and the motivation is almost always the same: someone facing their own charges decided that pointing a finger at a family member was worth it if it reduced their time. The system creates that incentive on purpose, and some people take it without a second thought about who they are burying in the process. There is no crime more contemptible inside than bearing false witness against someone who trusted you. Anyone who has done real-time...
