Ask The Inmate

Ask a former inmate questions at no charge. The inmate answering has spent considerable time in the federal prison system, state and county jails, and in a prison that was run by the private prison entity CCA.

Subject: Pending criminal charges

This sounds a little fishy. Make sure of what his EXACT charges are because piracy of Internet content like music is one very minor charge that is largely never pursued, child pornography is another - very seriously and aggressively prosecuted. It sounds like he might have been caught with child pronography and he was hiding the pictures in the music files. If this is a federal case (FBI involved) then he could face a lengthy prison sentence in the United

No, Georgia Probation Detention Centers do not typically offer “2 for 1” time like some state prison systems. PDC time is structured differently. It is a highly regimented program, and while it is shorter in duration, there is usually less opportunity for large sentence reductions. That said, you can still receive some time off through good behavior. In many cases, inmates may earn around 15 percent good time credit, which can reduce your total time if you stay compliant

We found two Anthony Perez but neither had an "E" as a middle initial. Because this is a military base and the prisoners are soldiers, the standard inmate locators do not have the entire inmate roster available. You might try calling the facility itself (253-967-0058) and speak with the unit secretary for that information.

Subject: Commissary

Commissary prices are close to what you would find in most grocery stores. Inmates can spend between $50 - $75 per week on average. Some inmates use it as a grocery store and buy a lot, others pick out just their very basic needs. Here are some of the wide ranging items on the list: Instant coffee, sodas of all kinds, chocolate, licorice, Cheetos, Jolly Rangers, nuts, microwave popcorn, cookies, crackers, protein bars, pop tarts and cereal. There are

Federal inmates must go through an Admissions and Orientation (A&O) before they are allowed to make calls or receive visitors. This usually occurs every Wednesday depending upon the amount of new incoming inmates. Inmates are screened by Unit Management and Health Services at the time of arrival and will also be screened by Psychology and Education Staff. Inmates are immediately provided with a copy of the institution's rules and regulations, which include information on inmate rights and responsibilities. For the

Subject: Send inmate mail

We strongly recommend having the inmate ID for all mail correspondence because the staff can reject mail without it. That is not to say they will, but some are more strict with the rules and will use any reason to send things back. We have corrected this in your account and would be more than happy to resend any of them. The ones without an ID go back to 3-28-16. Let us know if he received them, if not we

Most inamtes do their time without ever having to fear for their safety. Others seem to find conflict at every turn. A lot has to do with the type of person that inmate is, are they argumentative, are they mouthy and challenge everything people do?

The guards in most instances are well trained and have empathy for the offenders
