Everything InmateAid sends is print. Physical magazines printed by the publisher and mailed directly from the publisher to your nephew at the facility. That is the only format that works for inmates and the only format InmateAid offers. Digital magazines are not an option for this purpose and would not work even if they were available. Inmates do not have personal internet access or devices that can receive digital subscriptions. Everything that reaches them comes through the physical mail
Read moreMissing a court appearance while on bond is a serious, serious offense. For starters, there will be no further bond until her case is heard. The bond is the "assurance that the charged will appear for every court appearance". As for the new charges, my guess is that the judge will be pretty angry when she faces him. Without further information on all that she is facing, my only advice is for you to be patient and let the process

It could be a co-defendant he cannot be placed in the same facility. But if this is happening often, it could be that he was a confidential informant.

He was probably taken to the SHU where they held a Disciplinary Hearing with a single Officer (the DHO) presiding. The DHO evidently found him guilty.

Read moreThis depends on the bed space at the processing center and the transfer schedule of the marshals. As an example, I was in county jail for 8 days, then transferred to a CoreCivic facility for 89 days and then air marshaled to Oklahoma City for one night before finally getting to the prison I was designated to. Be patient, they never seem to be in a hurry.
Read moreThis is a serious concern and worth pursuing directly with the facility, but how you approach that conversation matters as much as what you ask. Facilities are legally required to provide inmates with necessary medical care, and failing to treat a documented chronic condition like hypertension or high cholesterol can rise to the level of a constitutional violation under the Eighth Amendment. That is the legal backdrop. In practice, medication gaps happen for several reasons. A prescription may not
