Mail is considered sacred in a prison, detention center or jail.  InmateAid's service is not email; it is with the US Postal Service. Inmates do not have Internet access. We estimate that it takes 2-3 business days to make it to the jail. Once there, the staff opens and reads each piece of mail and inspects it for contraband. Any delay that occurs at the facility is out of our control. We make no guarantees as to how long it

Inmates who are serving less than a year will usually have their application for marriage denied with the presumption being that such a short wait will not harm the prisoner or prospective spouse. Each partner must be legally eligible and mentally competent to marry. Marriages may be blocked for security or disciplinary reasons; solitary confinement can block access to marriage. Most states do not allow marriage for inmates on death row; California is at least one exception to that rule.

When you set up a Discount Telephone Plan with InmateAid, we will give you a coupon code to write your inmate and let them know that there is a new number to call, and you'll explain to them how it works. We will even make the coupon good for a picture too.

Most inmates have to make their own purchases within the facility commissary (you fund their inmate trust account). Depending on where, there are some places what contract with outside services to send care packages through Secur-Pak and others.

We do not have that information on this website.  You will have to contact the clerk of the court where your inmate's case was heard or where he was sentenced. Contact the clerk, ask to speak with the presiding judge's secretary. They will have everything you would need to know about the case, the scheduling and the outcome if there was one.
