“Ask the Inmate” is not a direct communication link to a particular inmate, it is a question and answer forum between you and a former inmate who knows how things work on the inside. To communicate, you can write letters or send photos - you will have to go to your My Account area and click on the Inmate Page and then click "Letters". You will be able to communicate to them through there.

Calling 911 is not the brightest idea. There is no access for the ambulance to get to an inmate unless the prison calls them first. There is capable medical attention in all of the facilities. The process is that there are a few days set aside when a doctor comes into the facility to see inmates on a "call out" basis. If your inmate has an issue, he needs to fill out a form and give it to the counselor

You can call the facility and ask to speak to her counselor. Being her mother, you should be able to get some definitive answers on a release date and the terms of her release.

Reading posts from others is not going to put your mind at ease. This facility is for short-time inmates. Generally speaking, when inmates get close to the door, there is a lot less nonsense going on. No inmate wants to jeopardize their release date by doing stupid things. The facilities are all non-smoking but getting cigarettes in prison is not hard. They are expensive but smoking goes on, he just has to be careful not to end up in the

We estimate that it takes 2-3 business days to make it to the jail. Once there, the staff opens and reads each piece of mail and inspects it for contraband.

We make no guarantees as to how long it will take as there are thousands of facilities and none of them do things the same way.Please be patient, if the ID number and facility are correct we are

Inmates can use the commissary once a week as soon as they are there as long as there is money in their trust account. Letters are much the same thing, the stamps are bought at the commissary so once there is a account funded, the inmate may shop once a week. We estimate that it takes 2-3 business days to make it to the jail. Once there, the staff opens and reads each piece of mail and inspects it for

There is a possibility but the circumstances laid out by the judge will dictate whether it's even possible. If the judge allows for parole, then there is one potential option for early release. There are "good time" credits which exist for all inmates. The caveat is that they have to remain in good standing with the prison staff, with no incidence reports or trips to the SHU for bad behavior. The good time usually represents about 15% off. Finally, if

The inmate pages are created and maintained by the member/users of the site. We do not monitor or verify this self-generated content. If you want to use the service on the website, you will need to set up a profile. If you need help, please send us the inmate name, inmate ID, state and facility name and we will set it up for you.

It depends on how badly they want you. If it is a minor offense like a fine, they will probably not have the sheriff or the US Marshal bring you in. Usually that type of offender gets caught in a traffic stop or something like that. Why not just pay the fine and not have to worry about the added cost associated with getting locked up like bail and a lawyer?

Norco is a prison in the California Department of Correction and Rehabilitation (CDCR) system. If his calling privileges were delayed in Wasco, it might have been that he was new or awaiting the list to be verified and approved - being transferred within a system will usually carry over their approved phone lists. We would not anticipate as long of a wait this time.
