You may use your cell phone in most cases. The phone service is run by ONE company at any one facility. The companies that provide service win a competitive bid contract for 3-4 years. THEY are the ones that set the pricing and the rules in conjunction with the jail or prison. It used to be that you needed a land line to receive calls from the inmate. Now, with everything revolving around the smartphone, the rules have changed. BUT,

that is tough stuff... even though it is hard and you are med you have to make an attempt to NOT say negative things about their dad to them. you can explain the cost and how it isn't possible to visit, but you can encourage them to write him and keep connected (if they want to). Try not to be the reason they have mad thoughts about him so maybe they can have a relationship with him when he is released.

Not usually unless there is some facility-wide punishment that would limit times, however that is not the norm. You can call the facility and speak with the unit secretary and ask what the hours of phone operation are so that you know the rules, too.

I had a similar situataion with 3 step children who i helped raise and remain close to today. Here is all you have to do. The people that oversee things actually want their inmates to leave the facility and never come back. They call that recidivism, where the offender doesnt learn a lesson, they continue with criminal behavior, therefore repeating the incarceration thing. These facilites are judged is by their recidivism rate. Funding flows to the prisons with the lowest

As a general rule, the inmates have to work in some small capacity as part of the programming and participation of the prison operations. Whether it be in sanitation, custodial, kitchen, landscaping, education, construction or other roles, the inmates run the prison overseen by COs (corrections officers). Some prisons have no inmate working as it is intake and assessment, usually at the beginning of the sentence. As a rule, pre-trial inmates do not have to work but each facility has

Violation of probation is a serious offense. You are let out early but you must comply with the rules. The probation officers will work with you if you are straight. BUT, you either have to make an effort to show good faith or you will certainly go back to the detention center you were released early from. You can arrange a meeting with your probation officer and show them your "documentation". It is my feeling that you could show how

At what point in the process is he in? Has he make a plea, is this in trial or going to trial? If he has not advanced to those stages he is entitled to a lawyer AND and investigator paid for by the state or feds (if a federal trial). Yes, an investigator... most people don't know you get the benefit of this too. If you have information feed an investigator you might be able to pull off a minor

The judge has nothing to do with the allocation of good time. The good time credits are set by the State's Justice Department. If the program you speak of offers a sentence reduction for successful completion, tit doesnt matter what the judge wants, they hold zero power over the Department of Corrections as they follow their internal procedures.
