Malcolm Galdwell books, "Tipping Point", "Outliers" and "Blink" are recommended for business philosopy-type reading. For fiction reading, i like the authors Stuart Woods, Vince Flynn, Harlen Coben, Lee Child, John Grisham, Daniel Silva, Michael Lewis and Sandra Brown. There are tons of titles for these authors. The prison/jail rules require buying paperback books from the publisher like Amazon, don't try and send them yourself,they will definitely get returned.

You can call the Clerk of the Court of the county where the case was tried. 

He will definitely get credit for the six months he did in county. He probably has to do 85% of the sentence (assuming he stays out of trouble and remains incident-report free). That would be 25.5 months. What jurisdiction did he get sentenced in? Where did you see the release date (that might not have figured in the good time as of that listing)? 

This sounds like a state inmate that has been transferred to a contract prison in another state due to several possible reasons. One is overcrowding, the other could be if he has a codefendant in the same prison (they separate them), third could be disciplinary, it could also be that they have a court date and need to be within a reasonable distance from the courthouse.

No, in-person visits only. Please go to https://www.inmateaid.com/visitation/rankin-county-ms-jail for the exact times and days.

We don't know the facts, but it sounds like he did something to jeopardize his release date. You can call the facility and ask to speak to the counselor, if you are a close relative they might confide in you.

No. The inmates are entitled to privacy in prison too. If you think he is calling someone, you know him better than anyone, he probably is.

Pushing people away during incarceration is more common than most people admit, and the reasons are usually understandable even when the outcome is painful. Shame, pride, a desire to protect loved ones from the reality of the situation, or simply the emotional difficulty of maintaining relationships under those circumstances can all create distance that feels permanent but often is not. A letter is the right first move for a reason. A phone call puts the other person on the

Inmates are not permitted access to the internet. However, there are some services where an inmate can pay someone on the outside to do their posts for them. BUT, if he is harassing you, you can call the facility and ask to speak with the warden's secretary. Give them the details and request a call back or you are going to the local police. This could become a serious issue so be careful

Missing the court date is not a good thing but if he was already in jail on another warrant, it shouldn't affect him for missing. BUT, there is always more to the story and if his court dates about domestic violence what was the warrant for?  Because of the limited information, we have no idea how long he'll have to sit.
