Yes that is correct.

Nothing is free - prison is a profit deal. They set up the video system because they cannot charge for in-person visits. Now they have a way to charge you for visitation.

The BOP line from InmateAid is local to the facility the inmate is in. The inmate has to pay for each call from their cell coming out of their Trulincs account - they use their money is for calls, emails, and commissary. The 15-minute call to your number is $3.15, the call to the local number is $0.90. You're saving $2.25 per call simply by using our local number (which rings to your long distance number). Our $8.95 fee to

HER desire to change has to be the overriding effort to start over clean. Nothing but "her will" to overcome this will work. All of the love and support is great, but if she doesn't want a different outcome, then nothing will change.

Probably not. There are specific rules against anyone with a prior felony to visitation, anywhere. The only way it could ever happen is with the written approval from the warden and even then it would take a helluva reason for them to allow it.

Inmates are allowed 300 minutes per month (400 mins in Nov and Dec). The money for the calls comes off their Trulincs account that cost either SIX CENTS per minute or 21-CENTS per minute. We get a local number to make the calls 6 cents per minute. This is a monthly savings of $45 for $8.95 (next month the price will be $4.95). If the inmate gets moved, we replace the number at no charge.

Nothing is free. You can reduce the overall cost if you do not use a lawyer, then the only cost is the filing fee is for the court (which might be a couple of hundred dollars)

There is no set time period, it is strictly up to the staff and the pace in which the inmate is prepared and there is space in the program at the time.

Violation of parole is dumb. You put yourself at the mercy of the judge that had leniency for you. The penalty could be as stiff as having to finish the remaining months on the original sentence with no possibility of an early release. Anything less than that, he should consider himself lucky.

Typically he can receive visits on the very first visitation date/time. The visits are very chill, you can bring food for him to eat there and to take to his dorm room along with clothing (not more prison garb). There is hardly any supervision as the idea of being free usually supersedes any notion of screwing up at this point... you're almost home.
