It depends on the inmate's location and if they actually allow care packages. Not all facilities have a relationship where care packages are allowed to be sent in to inmates. You might try calling the facility and ask to speak with the case manager, counselor or unit team secretary to get more information.

This sounds more like a halfway house arrangement. However, if he is still in the prison, then he has a very trustworthy position, one that should make you feel good about the progress and programming that he has done. There are VERY few instances of "unsupervised work release". We see this sometimes in the minimum camps of the federal prison system (BOP) where inmates are working mostly unsupervised on many of the military bases around the country and then coming

That is a great question. It's been that way for decades. The federal system has an email program now called Corrlinks. It's free for you to use, but the inmate pays per minute that they are in the system. That is a great way to remain in contact. There is a bonus of an extra 100 minutes per month for November and December - so they have 400 minutes for the holidays.

This means that your inmate has been well-behaved and earned a custody/security-level status reduction. The work camp is a detail that is reserved for the most trusted inmates. Their living conditions are more like an army barracks than a prison. There are no cells and very few if any fences. Their daily routine starts to resemble more like a normal citizen than a typical inmate (where movement is restricted and rules are tight). We think you should view this as

He will most likely not get the mail, most institutions will not forward the mail to transferred inmates. If you send us an email to aid@inmateaid.com with the new location, we will make the change in the inmate profile and resend the letter for you at no charge.

We do not have any information about the inmate (name, etc.) so whatever we offer herein is just a guess. In the federal system, the inmates MUST serve 85% of their time. There are two possible exceptions.  One, if this person is a cooperating witness or offers substantial assistance in another case that results in the incarceration of other individuals, he could get as much as 50% off his sentence. This would not happen until the other individuals were sentenced and incarcerated.  The

We think that some of the logic applied in your question may not apply to your inmate. Our knowledge is that inmates in cells are in a completely different security level (low, medium and high) than inmates who live in dorms. The dormitories are for minimum security inmates with short time sentences, no incident reports and mention of violence in their criminal history. Other inmates that are moved to minimum security probably have other factors that make them eligible for

Inmates do not have Internet access. This site is for the loved ones to organize the various services available for inmates to receive. There is no other place on the Internet where you can go and do everything you'd want or need to do for your inmate.

The problem with any violation is that the original judge is likely to hear this motion for re-incarceration. They look down on violations as it makes the judicial system feel like the offender took the "break they were given" and just defied them. When you are on probation or parole, there is NO excuse like "being unaware" or "not knowing they needed to inform probation of a change of address" that would sit well with a judge. The offender is

Inmate transfer requests can happen after a minimum amount of time served in one location. It might be 6-18 months depending on what type of system and where they are incarcerated. Inmates must have a clean disciplinary record with zero incident reports to be considered for transfer.
