He was drinking and driving, got stopped and blames you? This sounds like a "him problem". If he is that arrogant to do something wrong and blame another person without taking any responsibility himself, we think it might be a good idea to let him cool off for a while. If he isn't going to write you, he's the one missing out. You are free to come and go, and since you can't visit - go about your life he...

This is a situation InmateAid was designed to help with, and there is a workable solution even from South Korea. The fundamental rule does not change regardless of where you are stationed. Inmates initiate all calls; they cannot receive incoming calls. Your inmate dials out through the facility's phone system and the call routes to whatever number is on their approved list. The solution for overseas situations is to set up a local phone number near the facility that forwards to a...

A lot is happening in this situation and breaking it down piece by piece gives the clearest picture of what to expect. DVI Tracy is a reception center, which means your husband is still being processed and classified before getting a permanent housing assignment. The mentions of Folsom or Corcoran are significant because both are high-security Level 4 facilities and that designation reflects the validated gang status and current SHU placement. In California, the term validated means the California Department of Corrections...

Inmates that have money on their inmate trust accounts can purchase stamps and envelopes at the weekly commissary. If they do not have money on their books, the prison will provide indigent inmates with all the materials necessary to send out mail to their loved ones. If your inmate writes to you directly, using your address, the cost of the mailing is a 49 cent stamp. Many of our members use the Inmate Response Mail service through InmateAid. Your inmate would...

This is one of the most frustrating gaps in the Texas system and unfortunately, it is not unusual even when everything has gone right on the inmate's end. The Intermediate Sanction Facility program in Texas is designed to be a shorter intervention for technical parole violations rather than a full return to prison. Fast track designation is supposed to accelerate the process and a 60 to 90 day timeline with program completion, a confirmed release address, and an approved parole plan...

This is a question worth asking and the answer is straightforward. InmateAid accounts are created and managed exclusively by the person on the outside. Inmates have no login access, no visibility into account balances or payment history, and no ability to initiate or authorize any charges. The platform is designed as a tool for family members and friends to send services to their inmate, not a system the inmate interacts with directly. Everything on the InmateAid side, selecting services, uploading photos,...

The higher the number, the higher the security level of the prison. G5 is maximum security. Inmates are designated by the department of corrections after they are sentenced. After an inmate has begun his sentence, there are intervals of behavioral and advancement analysis done. This is used to determine if the inmate is showing signs of accepting incarceration and working on improving themselves. This improvement is rewarded by lowering their security level status and making them eligible for downward transfer,...
