Yes, it is standard practice for a state department of corrections to place all facilities on lockdown when an escape occurs, not just the facility the person escaped from. The reasoning is straightforward.

Read moreActive warrants complicate a release timeline significantly and without knowing the full details of what the warrants are for and which jurisdictions issued them it is impossible to give a realistic estimate of when someone will actually be free.

The real reason people use InmateAid when they could just as easily send mail themselves is privacy. When you

The expectation that everything immediately returns to normal is one of the most common and painful traps people fall into after release. It does not work that way, for the person coming home or for the people who waited. What does work is focusing on the things you can control. A routine,
