That Florida address is InmateAid's corporate address, and it appearing on your letter instead of your Tennessee address is by design, not an error. Privacy protection is one of the core features of the service. When InmateAid sends a letter on your behalf, your personal address never appears on the envelope. The return address is InmateAid's Florida location, which means anyone handling that envelope at the facility, including staff and other inmates, sees only the company's address. Your actual
Read moreA contraband cell phone in a North Carolina correctional facility is a serious infraction, and the consequences play out on two separate levels. At the federal level, the law is clear and significant. The Contraband Cell Phone Act makes it a federal crime to possess a wireless device in a federal prison, carrying up to five years of additional prison time. North Carolina state facilities operate under state law rather than federal jurisdiction in most cases, but the trend

Read moreYes in most cases. Where that is not an option, an InmateAID number is a land line that can forward to any cell phone anywhere. The inmate dials a land line and it rings on your cell phone. You still pay the carrier for the call, but in cases where our numbers are used, the price of the call from the carrier is reduced by up to 80%.
Read moreThe most direct source of that information is your husband himself. Once an inmate reaches a work camp with a release date approaching, they typically know their out-date or have a very clear sense of the timeline. If he has not told you the specific date, asking him directly on the next call is the fastest way to get a concrete answer. From your end on the outside, calling the facility and asking to speak with a counselor is
Read moreIf the system your person is incarcerated in requires phone bill verification as part of the number approval process, that requirement applies across the entire system regardless of custody level or facility type. Moving to a work camp does not exempt an inmate from the verification requirements that govern the broader DOC phone system. The rules travel with the inmate, not with the facility. That means if phone bill verification was required at the previous facility, it is still
Read moreThe Discount Phone Service is not a replacement for the phone service at the jail or prison. Each facility as only one carrier. That carrier can set their rates to whatever they can get away with. We have discovered over the many years of helping the families of inmates that a "different phone number altogether" may make the calls from your inmate cheaper. We provide you the best number for your inmate's location. That number is given to the

That office maintains all case filings including charging documents, and you can contact them by phone or in person to ask what is on the docket under his name. In many jurisdictions the court's website also has an online case search function where you can find basic case information by name or case number at no cost. If you
Read moreThe timing is the issue. When someone is first booked, the information does not flow instantly to every database. VINELink, state DOC websites, and county jail rosters all update on different schedules, and fresh arrests can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days to propagate fully across all systems. Finding her on VINELink is a good sign that the booking is in process, but the facility's own public roster may simply not have caught up yet.
