We are not sure about the cost of your divorce as it relates to your status as "underprivileged". But the concept of divorce sounds like a very good idea. As the father, we suspect the best he could hope for would be supervised visits if the children are under 18. If they are over 18 when he is released, they can surely make up their own mind

When inmates are first brought in, they will go through a series of examinations. They will see a nurse and a therapist that will evaluate their inmate's medical requirements. If it is determined that a mental health program is necessary, they will place them in the requisite program. Your having a "signed waiver" does not give you any rights to make determinations on an incarcerated person. The offender is now property of the state and there is not much you...

Does the phone service work for Putnam County jail in Greencastle Indiana?
Yes it does, very well.…
Yes it does, very well. But please be mindful that InmateAid's service is not a replacement for the service at Putnam County Jail, they use Securus. If you live in Indiana, your inmate calls have been $9.00 plus tax per 15-minute call. With a number from InmateAid, we can get the calls down to only $3.15 - you will still be paying Securus for the calls, but the $6.00 per call savings pays our $19.95 fee in less than four...

All of the mail arriving to the MCI -Shirley mail intake is handled by a very competent staff. They go through and inspect the mail, then create three destination piles before delivering it into the units. If your inmate ID is correct, the staff will make sure that the inmate and the unit match as there is always movement between the different security levels based on conduct, status changes and length of sentence.

Why do inmates leave their women shortly after release?
The best answer we can give is that men are one of two ways.…
The best answer we can give is that men are one of two ways. They are either loyal and never cheat or they always seek the company of as many women as they can. You already know which type your man is. Whichever type he is, prison is not going to change that. Our answer is NOT meant to make you alter your feelings or tell you what to do. It is however a perspective that you will not get...

Is my fiance eligible for sentence reduction with a gang enhancement charges and a gun charge?
Any charge including a gun takes the "non-violent" tag off the table.…
Any charge including a gun takes the "non-violent" tag off the table. Offenders with a gang enhancement and a gun charge are not eligible for any new (federal) sentencing guideline. We are not sure what law you are pointing to, there are no "new laws" outside of the change in federal sentencing guidelines for a narrow group of eligible inmates with low level non-violent drug crimes.
The offender must serve at least 85% of the sentence (providing that there are...

Regardless of whether he answers the warrant now or later, he will still need to return to Iowa and face the original judge who put him on probation. They call this a detainer, where the current holding facility releases the inmate to the jurisdiction where the warrant was written. The likely outcome will be after he finishes his sentence in Illinois, the sheriff or marshal will be waiting to transport him to Iowa to be heard on the violation, and...
