FCI Jesup does have the Residential Drug Abuse Program (RDAP), which would reduce the length of an inmate's federal sentence by 12-months (plus 6 months of halfway house) if eligible. Eligibility begins and ends with the Pre-Sentence Report that is proffered to the judge prior to sentencing. If there is no mention of drug use or alcohol dependency or abuse in this report, there are no other options or appeals that will get the inmate into the program.

You only need the name of the facility and your phone number. The inmate's name is not necessary.

I was in federal, county and a private facility and there were female guards in all three places. It was uncomfortable in the maximum security setting as they oversaw the pod area, we had to shower in the open, right in front of their control room window. 

It depends on the circumstances of the conviction. If there was a guilty plea involved, part of the language in that plea would have included a clause that forfeits any right to appeal at a later date.

Absolutely, 100% as long as you selected the correct facility. But even if there was a mistake, or the inmate got transferred, InmateAid will resend the mail again at no charge. The Company has served over fifty million users since 2012.  Read the testimonials, there was one that should give you great comfort: "My nephew was recently moved from a facility to a new one but I had just sent an electronic postcard to the old one & inmateAID

The short answer is "yes", but there is a little more to it. One of the reasons InmateAid offers the Greeting Cards service is that the process follows strict guidelines for incoming mail. Most store-bought cards have glitter or other affixings that might cause it to be rejected in the mail room of the prison. The selection of cards on InmateAid are delivered on a postcard that meets the standards of every facility in the US. For 99 cents each,

Most inmates in the SHU are allowed visitation in a limited form. The SHU inmates are allowed mail and one phone 15-minute call per week. The SHU is a nasty existence. Solitary confinement could make anyone a little crazy. When I was there, every minute felt like an hour... time just drips slowly.

No. There are no visitations for former inmates, people on probation, parole or with felonies allowed. They may apply for special dispensation to the warden. The warden is the only person at the facility that can override this very strict rule.

You will need to contact the inmate's counselor and tell them the situation. You will then be able to send the un-signed check to the facility where they will have your inmate endorse the check to be deposited in their commisary/phone account.

Depending on where the visit takes place, the general rule is that you may bring twenty dollars in coins and/or small bills and it must be brought in a clear, see-through purse/container. Some places allow you to bring a little more money, but the rules are still the same. Also, remember that this is to be used for the vending machines, you must make the purchase, don't let the inmate even touch the money whatsoever.
