InmateAid was created for the online user, NOT the inmates as they are not supposed to have access to the Internet. We know that smartphone use is rampant in the prison systems so we say "not supposed to". All of the ways that a loved one on the outside can make an inmate's sentence easier to ride out is on InmateAid. You can send money, write your inmate a real letter, add some photos (these are printed out on high gloss 4...

It is very unlikely that the facility will accommodate a request for that but he should ask the kitchen staff first to see if they even receive lemons - if they do he can make a deal with one of the inmates in the kitchen to get them for him.

What you are seeing is frustrating, but it is not unusual with probation violation (VOP) cases, especially when there is a new charge involved.
