When an inmate is paroled to a district, they are released under the supervision of that district's parole office rather than a specific address. District 1 in Nebraska covers the Lincoln area, and the relevant parole offices are listed below. Your family member will be reporting to one of these offices as a condition of their parole. Contacting the appropriate office can help you confirm their reporting location and get information about how to reach them during the supervision
Read moreHaving a family member held by ICE is a stressful and often confusing situation, especially when you are not sure how basic things like phone calls work. Here is what you need to know. ICE detention facilities, including contract facilities like South Louisiana Correctional Center, use the same type of contracted phone systems found in most jails and prisons. Your brother can make outgoing calls, but he cannot receive incoming ones. All calls originate from his end. To
Read moreVocational programs including welding certifications are available at certain facilities, though not universally. Whether your family member can access one depends on the specific prison, the custody level, and what programs are currently offered and funded there. Federal facilities generally have more robust vocational programming than state or county facilities. The Federal Bureau of Prisons operates vocational training programs at many institutions that lead to certifiable trade skills, and welding is among the trades offered at some locations. State
Read moreAbsolutely. Inmates are fed three meals per day albeit not always the "tastiest". These meals are engineered by a nutritionist that are guided by a minimum standard set for nutritional value and calories.
Read moreSome facilities have changed their mail policies to accept postcards only, eliminating standard letters entirely. Hillsborough County Jail in Tampa is one facility that has made this switch. The reason is typically security related. Postcards are easier and faster to inspect for contraband than sealed envelopes, and facilities looking to streamline mail room operations have increasingly moved in this direction. If letters you sent are not reaching your inmate, a policy change at the facility is one of the
Read moreStop cooperating immediately and hire an attorney. That is the short answer, and it applies regardless of how far cooperation has already gone. Here is why this matters. The offer being described, release on recognizance, delayed sentencing, reduced charges, and a substantial sentence reduction, is significant. That is exactly the kind of offer that needs a defense attorney reviewing every word before your family member says or signs anything else. Prosecutors make these offers because the cooperation has value
Read moreEvery word. Mail is one of the most anticipated parts of an inmate's day, and a letter from someone on the outside gets read carefully and often more than once. Boredom and isolation are two of the hardest parts of incarceration. A letter breaks through both. It is a tangible connection to the world outside, and most inmates will tell you that receiving mail is one of the few things that genuinely lifts the day. Do not worry about
Read moreNot every facility can be serviced with a local discount phone line. Coverage depends on the phone carrier contracted to that specific jail or prison, and in some cases a local number simply cannot be obtained for that area. When InmateAid is unable to procure a local line for a facility after a customer has placed an order, we issue a full refund. You will not be charged for a service we cannot deliver. If you are setting
Read moreWe have looked high and low for those titles. No one has a subscription listing for them. One is out of the UK and the other is "underground". Many other titles in this genre are available for subscription. the onlty advise we have to offer is that a high number of questionable adult magazines get rejected for the partial nudity going too far for their rules
Read moreThe committed date is the date your inmate began serving their sentence. It is not the release date. To put it simply: the committed date marks the start, and the release date marks the end. They are two separate fields and neither is required when setting up a profile on InmateAid. If you enter both dates, InmateAid has a countdown feature built into the profile that shows how many days remain in the sentence. It is a small
