Read moreA DR is a Disciplinary Report, also called an incident report, and it means your boyfriend was written up for a rule violation serious enough to be classified at the felony level internally. That classification is significant because it places the infraction in the most serious category the facility's disciplinary system recognizes. The specific language "viol. statute felony crime" typically points to possession of contraband that rises to the level of a criminal offense rather than just a prison
Read moreThis is a situation where calling the facility directly before you make the trip is essential, and the person to ask for specifically is the corrections officer who oversees the visiting room. There are two separate questions wrapped into this one. The first is whether the facility has any policy about service animals in the parking lot or on facility grounds while you are inside visiting.

Read moreTransfer decisions are among the most difficult things for families to influence from the outside, and the system offers very little transparency about why a specific request was denied. After 23 years of incarceration and 11 years at the same facility, a denial feels particularly frustrating, but the reality is that these decisions are made internally and the reasoning is rarely shared with the inmate or their family. That said, there are still some steps worth taking. Your
