General inmates can access air-conditioning in buildings designated for chapel, programs, classification, medical and administration. There is also a gym. As an aside, the new institutions are designed with air-conditioning, but many current FDOC facilities were constructed prior to air-conditioning being commonplace and were instead designed to facilitate airflow to provide natural cooling within them. Housing units with air-conditioning make up approximately 24 percent of FDC’s housing units (dorms).

An inmate can only lose part or all of that good time, not gain more ...unless they decide to cooperate and give someone up to get some time shaved.
Read moreThere are three reliable ways to stay connected, and each of them serves a different purpose. Letters and postcards are the most consistent option. A letter costs almost nothing to send, reaches the inmate through regular mail regardless of what is happening with their phone account, and gives them something physical to hold, read, and reread. If you want him to know you are thinking of him and reaching out, a letter is the most direct signal of that.
Read moreThe biggest no-no in jail is to talk about your case. People in jail have usually not been sentenced yet. Jail is not prison, it comes before prison. Inmates in jail are still fighting their cases, as are you. Talking to them about your case could end up putting you away. If you tell them something juicy enough, they'll call their attorney and provide the information they heard from you. The hope is that ratting on you gets them a lighter sentence. Prosecutors will
Read moreYou can pay someone's bond in most circumstances but when a protection order is involved, the situation requires careful attention to the specific language of that order before you do anything.

Read moreThe honest answer is probably not, and almost certainly not in the way you are hoping. Conjugal visits, which are the only form of genuinely private time allowed between spouses in a prison setting, are available in only four states in the United States: California, Connecticut, New York, and Washington. Every other state has eliminated the program. If your boyfriend is not in one of those four states, marriage does not create any right to private time together regardless of
Read moreWhen the Arkansas parole board approves release with a votech stipulation, they are doing two things at once. Granting parole and investing in the person's ability to succeed on the outside by requiring a marketable skill before the gate opens. That context matters because it reframes the wait from punishment to preparation. The timeline depends entirely on which vocational program he is enrolled in and how far along he is when the parole approval comes through. Arkansas Department of
Read moreWhen the parole board approves release with a stipulation to complete a vocational training certificate before going home, the timeline depends on two things working together. How far along he is in the program and how long the specific votech certificate requires to complete from that point. Vocational training programs in state correctional systems typically run anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on the trade and the curriculum. Common programs like welding, carpentry, electrical, culinary arts,
Read moreThe typical path after extradition back to the originating state runs through the county jail first before any transfer to state prison occurs. When someone is extradited back to Kentucky from Pennsylvania they will almost certainly be transported to the county jail in the jurisdiction where their original case was handled. That is where the parole revocation hearing takes place before a judge or parole board. Until that hearing is complete and a formal decision is made on the
