The committed date is the date your inmate began serving their sentence. It is not the release date. To put it simply: the committed date marks the start, and the release date marks the end. They are two separate fields and neither is required when setting up a profile on InmateAid. If you enter both dates, InmateAid has a countdown feature built into the profile that shows how many days remain in the sentence. It is a small

No, your husband cannot see your InmateAid account. Inmates do not have access to the internet, so anything you create or do on the website is private and only visible to you. What InmateAid does is act as a bridge for communication and services. For example: When you send a letter or photos, they are printed and delivered by mail When you set up phone services, it helps lower the cost of calls he makes to you

Every situation is unique. We have a large number of members using 1000 minutes a month or more. State and county inmates can usually call as much as they want. Federal inmates get 300 minutes per month and 400 minutes for the months of November & December. The problem is the high cost of the calls. If your inmate is calling you long distance, look into getting a local number from InmateAid Discount Telephone Service and reduce the price by

Yes, federal inmates are reviewed regularly through what is called a Unit Team meeting (often just called “team”). At facilities run by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, these reviews typically happen about every 6 months. During this meeting, the inmate sits down with: Their case manager Counselor Unit team staff They review: Behavior and disciplinary record Work performance and program participation Overall adjustment to the facility Does this lead to a transfer to a lower

In most cases there is no limit to the amount of photos an inmate may receive. In the cases where there are limits, we post the number allowed on their Prison Facility page.

In the federal system, holiday phone minutes are handled as a temporary increase to the monthly allowance, not as separate deposits on specific dates. If your husband’s cycle resets on the 28th of each month, here is how it works: His normal allotment is 300 minutes per cycle During the November and December holiday period, that allotment increases to 400 minutes total per cycle The extra 100 minutes are included automatically in each monthly cycle that falls within that timeframe So

We process thousands of letters with a VERY high rate of success. The phot feature is absolutely the most popular of all our services because so many family members promise to send inmates photos and never have the time to get them posted. We make that easy for you. It usually takes 1-2 business days to get to the facility. We are in a major postal hub and the letters travel pretty rapidly through the system. The only delay

Violating an order of protection is treated seriously by the court system, and the outcome on Wednesday depends on several factors: the specific nature of the violation, your husband's prior criminal history, and how the judge who issued the original order views what happened. The judge presiding over Wednesday's hearing is almost certainly the same one who issued the order of protection. That matters because judges who issue protective orders take violations personally. They view it as a direct

Mandatory Supervised Release, commonly referred to as MSR, is a term used primarily in the federal system and in some state systems to describe the period of supervision that follows release from prison. The concept exists in state systems as well, but it typically goes by a different name: probation or parole. For your brother's purposes, the answer is yes, the same general principle applies. State inmates serve a supervision period after release that functions essentially the same way

“MSR” can be confusing because it means different things depending on the system. In the federal system, the correct term is Supervised Release, not MSR. Federal inmates: Serve about 85 percent of their sentence in custody May spend the last portion of that time in a halfway house or home confinement Then begin Supervised Release, which is ordered by the judge and happens after they are fully released In this context: There is no parole in the federal system
