If the facility you need is not listed on Western Union, it usually means they do not service that jail or prison. Western Union only works with certain systems, not all facilities. When that happens, you still have a few options: 1. Use the facility’s approved method Most jails and prisons have their own required way to send money, such as: Money orders by mail Other services like JPay or Access Corrections Kiosk deposits at the facility

Tuberculosis testing is standard at intake in most county jails. STD testing is not. There is no routine screening protocol for sexually transmitted diseases in county jail settings. If a specific incident occurs or an inmate presents with symptoms that warrant medical attention, a provider can order testing and treatment on a case-by-case basis. HIV testing may be conducted under those circumstances. Other STDs such as herpes, which can remain latent without obvious symptoms, are generally not part of

The InmateAid photos are printed on 4x6 high gloss photo paper - approved for all jails and prisons. These are NOT a printed postcard, they are delivered safely in an envelope directly into the facility. Make sure that you have the inmate's ID (if applicable) and allow 1-3 business days for delivery.

Three denials is a clear pattern, and the honest answer is that there is no reliable workaround. When someone is on probation, most facilities treat visitation applications with significant caution, and a non-family relationship like a boyfriend does not carry the same weight as a spouse or immediate family member when decision-makers are evaluating borderline cases.

If your husband is reporting to a halfway house in Ludlow, Massachusetts, he is entering what the Federal Bureau of Prisons calls a Residential Reentry Center (RRC). These programs are designed to help inmates transition back into everyday life before full release. Here is what you can expect: What the environment is like: It is not prison, but it is still structured and supervised He will have rules, curfews, and required check-ins Staff monitor his progress and compliance

Every situation is unique. We have a large number of members using 1000 minutes a month or more. State and county inmates can usually call as much as they want. Federal inmates get 300 minutes per month and 400 minutes for the months of November & December. The problem is the high cost of the calls. If your inmate is calling you long distance, look into getting a local number from InmateAid Discount Telephone Service and reduce the price by

No. The InmateAid discount phone number is not a collect call system and should not be used as one. Accepting collect calls defeats the purpose of the service and will not produce the savings you signed up for. Here is how it actually works. InmateAid provides you with a local phone number that forwards to your existing phone.

Yes, federal inmates are reviewed regularly through what is called a Unit Team meeting (often just called “team”). At facilities run by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, these reviews typically happen about every 6 months. During this meeting, the inmate sits down with: Their case manager Counselor Unit team staff They review: Behavior and disciplinary record Work performance and program participation Overall adjustment to the facility Does this lead to a transfer to a lower
