Yes. Sentencing status has no bearing on whether InmateAid can reach him. Whether someone is pre-trial, awaiting sentencing, already sentenced, or mid-transfer, the letter service works the same way. InmateAid routes mail through the US Postal Service to wherever he is currently held, and pretrial and pre-sentence detainees in county and detention facilities receive mail the same way sentenced inmates do. Send the letter, include his name and inmate ID number in the addressing details, and it will go
Read moreInmates do not have access to the Internet, there are some places that do have an email system. All inmates have access to writing materials and stamps (even if they have no money on their books). Your inmate will have to be the one to tell you that they received something from you.
Read moreYes, there is a cost in both directions, and it is worth understanding what you are actually paying for before deciding whether it makes sense for you. First, these are not emails. InmateAid uses the US Postal Service. When you send a letter, it is physically printed and mailed to the facility. When your inmate writes back, they address the reply to InmateAid's office in South Florida, where it is received, scanned, and posted to your account dashboard. You
Read moreHalf of 16 months is 8 months, and working from his original custody date of July 19, that puts his estimated release around March 19, 2017. The math is straightforward: 8 months from July 19 lands on March 19 regardless of when he arrived at Kern for reception. The reception period at Kern is a classification and intake phase, not additional time on top of his sentence. The time he spent in county from July 19 forward all counts

Read moreWritten explicit content generally makes it through. Mailroom staff are primarily looking for specific types of problematic content, not adult material between consenting parties. The things that get flagged and confiscated are communications related to the inmate's current criminal case, anything that looks like running a business from inside the facility, threatening or violent language, anything that mentions contraband, escape-related content, or material that reads like terrorist or extremist communication. Sexually explicit written stories between adults are not on
Read moreWe are not sure that the new early release will benefit offenders that have violence in their case (a gun constitutes violence), sorry to say. The issue with having a prior incarceration is that the judges are harder on repeat offenders. Your fiance has all the elements (repeat, gang, firearm, ex-con) of someone that is not a great candidate for leniency.
Read moreReally?? Do you think prison is a dating service? There is zero contact with female inmates by male inmates. Unless they are in a building with windows facing the interior, where they might catch a glimpse of a female inmate, there is no interaction. Inmates do not have access to the internet; there is no inter-communication between inmates online - if they use email (some places have it), it is a closed system with a very strict analytical keyword surveillance.
