Read moreYes. If your situation changes, whether your inmate is transferred to a different facility or you need a number configured for a different location, InmateAid can set up a new line for you. Email aid@inmateaid.com with the updated facility information and the team will establish the new service.

Read moreGetting released on a $50,000 bond without any payment is not realistic. The bond system exists to ensure he appears at all court dates, and the court will not simply waive it. A bail bondsman can secure his release for approximately 10 percent of the total bond amount, which in this case would be around $5,000, and may also require collateral such as a car or real property. That 10 percent fee is not returned once the case resolves. If

Violating that condition tells the court that its orders were ignored, and judges

Standard visitor approval runs every applicant through a criminal background check, and a felony conviction combined with active probation will block approval through the normal process.
