good question! smack him upside the head? but he's not listening and the only way to get his attention is to get out of the situation. If he's doing it when you're around he doesn't respect you enough to stop. Maybe he'll wake up if you walk.

It depends on the quantity and the substance. It also depends on how it was brought in. The guards will want to know how they were smuggled in and who helped. If the inmate is cooperative, then the penalty might be a few weeks in the SHU. If they don't cooperate, there might be actual charges where time could be added to their sentence, new release date and definitely they would be transferred far away from home so that visitation would be

The "next of kin"...

Transfer 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.

The inmate either needs money on their books to make an outbound call, or they can make a collect call (the MOST expensive way to the recipient) OR someone on the outside can arrange to place money at the phone carrier (called Advance Pay). The third option normally has two pricing tiers and this is where InmateAid can make a substantial difference. Some pre-paid calls are as much as $15-20 per 15-minutes, InmateAid can get the same call for $3.00

There are no restrictions on incoming postal mail

Wow, what a fantastic gesture. There are over 2 million people incarcerated in US jails and prisons. There are hundreds of thousands that have no one contributing to their commissary or phone account. We do not have a particular case in mind but if we do, we will let you know.

Being on probation does not automatically disqualify someone from visiting an incarcerated person, but it does add a layer of requirements that have to be addressed before any visit can happen. The first step is disclosure. When you apply for visitation, you are required to disclose your probation status on the application. Do not leave it off. Facilities run background checks on all visitation applicants, and an omission is treated far more seriously than the underlying offense. Honesty upfront

The original judge will be the decider on your guy's fate. Depending on the severity of the charges, it could be a slap on the wrist to several months in jail awaiting trial.
