Depending on your sentence and the time your case manager thinks you'll need for reentry, halfway house time can be as little as a month or two to as much as one full year. When you are sent to the halfway house you are still under the supervision of the federal government and time there is part of your sentence.

Most facilities do not have a limit. Our software knows the limits and will only allow you to send as many as they do.

MIght be Securus blocking your line to prohibit you from saving money. Here is what the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has to say about their illegal tactics:  Commission Ruling Opens Doors For Low-Cost Call Routing Service For Inmates And Their Families  https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-323495A1.pdf Petition for Declaratory Ruling of Securus Technologies, Inc - EDOCS https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-13-1990A1.pdf

The First Step Act has retroactively released about 3,000 inmates last month that qualified for the reduction in their sentence. Inmates have an opportunity to get their sentence time reduced and participate in recidivism programs. To prepare for their release, the Justice Department worked with probation offices to create individualized release plans to ensure a smooth transition. These plans included drug treatment, post-release employment aid, and youth mentorship, among others.  The Justice Department also announced sentence reductions through retroactive application of the 2010 Fair Sentencing

If you have a record, you will not likely be able to visit. It sounds like the probation violator isn't interested in bettering his life and moving away doesn't look like it solved the problem. We wish you the best of luck.

Sounds like it's time to speak to a divorce lawyer

You would only know by checking previous filings with the Court to see the name and signature of the attorney on the documents. There are no other methods other than getting that information from the defendant/inmate

It means he wants to look at you. That is a good thing, don't you think? InmateAid has a great service where you can take selfies (even a little sexy if you want just no nudity) and we turn them into beautiful 4" x 6" glossy photos and mail them for only $1.49.

If you are really worried, we would advise you to call the facility and ask to speak to their counselor to see if they have any recent restrictions.
