The transfer from Broward County to South Florida Reception Center is a short geographic move but it is still a full transition between two separate systems with their own intake processes. Give it a few days before expecting communication to resume. Here is what is typically happening on his end right now. When an inmate arrives at a reception center they go through a processing and orientation period that includes medical screening, classification interviews, property inventory, and housing assignment. Phone access...

Only inmates that have a smartphone that was illegally smuggled to them. This is a very common occurrence, believe it or not, but it is very dangerous to have. When I first got to federal prison, the cell phones would light up like Christmas when the lights were turned off. Dozens had them and would definitely post stuff on Facebook or go onto dating sites. It's crazy to do because they ALL get caught eventually. I only know of ONE inmate that did his...

Inmates make outgoing calls, not incoming ones. There is no phone line you can dial to reach someone inside a jail or prison directly. The communication only works one direction from inside out, which means your inmate calls you rather than the other way around.

Prosecutors can file charges days, months, or even years after an incident as long as the statute of limitations for that specific offense has not expired. No rule says everything connected to a period of time has to be charged at once or charged immediately.

That is the only format that works for inmates and the only format InmateAid offers. Digital magazines are not an option for this purpose and would not work even if they were available. Inmates do not have personal internet access or devices that can receive digital subscriptions. Everything that reaches them comes through the physical mail system, which...

Missing a court appearance while on bond is a serious, serious offense. For starters, there will be no further bond until her case is heard. The bond is the "assurance that the charged will appear for every court appearance". As for the new charges, my guess is that the judge will be pretty angry when she faces him. Without further information on all that she is facing, my only advice is for you to be patient and let the process...
