How can I relay a message immediately to an inmate that I need him to call me
Not normally. You can call the facility and speak to a counselor or case manager and ask nicely if they will relay a message. The rules are usually against this, but if you ask nicely, they might pass along your urgent message.

Will his environment for his one year sentence be safe? Will he be able to make use of his time reading books etc. Could he be raped? Will the environment and situation break him down? How will his experience be? I
You are speaking to someone that did 66 months. A one-year sentence is considered not too rigid or hard on the inmate. Time will fly by once they get into a routine. He will be able to read magazines and books to his heart's desire as he has plenty of idle time. Prison rape, although evident in some places, one-year sentence inmates are normally not in the type of facility where this is more likely to happen. Short-timers are often in...

are inmates allowed to bring anything w them when transferring to this jail from another
Yes, when inmates are getting transferred, they are told to "pack out". This entails getting all of your property in one box and "packed" for shipping to the new locale. Most of what may be packed are letters, photos, reading material and some items bought at the commissary

What happens when you’re in custody

My Fiance is an inmate at Willard drug treatment campus, how often can I visit him? Can he call me everyday? When the inmate first arrives is he given a phone call?
There is an orientation period that could take a couple of days. It is after this time that the inmate will be able to make outgoing phone calls to people on his call list. He is not given a phone call when he gets there. That is something that happens at a county jail, this is a state facility. Once he is all set up, he will be able to call you often, even every day.

how long after getting booked can you contact the inmate
You can contact the inmate via mail only, immediately. Once they get settled, they can set up their call list. This might take a 1-2 day or maybe a week to get accomplished. They cannot receive calls, only make outbound calls. And they can also set up their visiting list.
