Subject: Release questions

There are too many variables in the information provided to give you an reliable answer. Usually, the release statement is what you can rely on and if he has to be in a treatment center, then that is where the bus ticket will take him. In residential treatment, they often times will allow a portion of the time on home confinement but again, there is no way to give you an answer that we would be comfortable telling you is

He could be in segregation for several reasons, but the only one that would delay his release is if they gave his a disciplinary charge and took some "good time" credit away. They can use the term "investigation" and keep an inmate in segregation for as long as they want.

Mandatory Supervised Release, commonly referred to as MSR, is a term used primarily in the federal system and in some state systems to describe the period of supervision that follows release from prison.

Mandatory Supervised Release (MSR) is the end portion of a federal sentence. This has replaced parole which does not exist in the federal system any longer.

Subject: Send inmate mail

The two things that determine whether a letter reaches the right person are the inmate ID number and the facility address. Get both of those right and the letter will find its way to your inmate. Get either one wrong and it will not. Inmate names alone are not enough. Facilities process a high volume of mail and route it by ID number, not by name. A common name with a wrong or missing ID number creates real risk

When a facility goes silent after an inmate is injured, the frustration for families is compounded by the fact that the people who are supposed to be responsible for your loved one's safety are the same ones refusing to communicate. Here is what you can actually do. Contact the chaplain. This is often the most overlooked and most effective channel available to families.
