Its not really a question so much but I would like to find out if the one that I wrote to appreciated it and if he even wants me to write him again. Ive gotten nothing back so how do I find this out?

If the letter did not get sent back, he definitely got your letter. Since we don't know what is going on in the relationship, but we would encourage you to keep writing and see what happens. If he is a little angry, give it some time. I can tell you for a fact we love every piece of mail that comes in, even junk mail LOL.

When I go to valley state prison locator it says my mans out date is 10/03/2019 he’s telling me it’s octotober 31 2019 so is he lying

Why would he lie about this, in order to stay in an extra month? Sometimes the inmate release date changes slightly for a variety of reasons. If he is lying about this, it might say something about the relationship

Hi there! I am expected to turn myself into a CRC. I have not been able to reach anyone at the facility, but I’m just looking to find out what to expect. Close? Cell phone? Do I get to work right away?

This will be the longest day of your life. The reception centers are for admissions and orientation of new inmates. You will have to sit and wait for hours on end as they process you into the system. You will not need clothes, or cell phone (are you kidding?!?!). Your work assignment will come several days later or more. You will be assigned a number, a bunk, and a locker.

Am I responsible for letting the inmate know to call and what number to call? If so, how?

Yes, you are responsible for getting the number to your inmate. You can use one more "expensive call" to relay the number, you can try to contact the facility to see if they will pass it along (the rules prohibit it, but some of the COs will if you're nice on the phone) or mail the number in a postcard or letter. We offer a free postcard, just email us at aid@inamteaid.com and we'll send you a coupon code.

In the discount phone lines settings my phone number is my personal number and the routing number is the number inmateaid emailed me. Is that correct?

Yes that is correct.

is there a free way to video or text message inmates in Lawrence county Alabama jail

Nothing is free - prison is a profit deal. They set up the video system because they cannot charge for in-person visits. Now they have a way to charge you for visitation.

Can the BOP phone work with their cell phones?

The BOP line from InmateAid is local to the facility the inmate is in. The inmate has to pay for each call from their cell coming out of their Trulincs account - they use their money is for calls, emails, and commissary. The 15-minute call to your number is $3.15, the call to the local number is $0.90. You're saving $2.25 per call simply by using our local number (which rings to your long distance number).
