Subject: Education & vocational training
Yes they do. As you can imagine, the best classes are the ones that you show willingness and openmindedness to learn from them. The challenge is getting your loved one to accept that they need to have feedback. Once they agree that it's goiong to benefit them, they will gain a lot of knowledge and it will make them better parents when they get out.

The jail is rated for 630 inmates/detainees and employs a staff of approximately 120. The local population averages 275-325 inmates/detainees. We do not have a current population number to report.
Subject: Release questions
If you mean "good time" credits against the release date, the answer is "Absolutely". All inmates are afforded 15% good time at the beginning of their bid. Only bad behavior and/or incident reports can take that away.
Subject: Send inmate mail
InmateAid will redirect it if it comes back for ANY reason. The facilities do not always forward mail (lazy), they stamp it "return, inmate no longer here". We just fix the inmate's profile and remail it, no charge. If you know of something like this is going to happen, let us know and we'll fix it now and send it again before it comes back to us.
Subject: Prison food
Yes absolutely. The prisons and jails have licensed nutricians on staff that set the daily menu and are responsible for the make-up of the food-stuffs and calories that are provided to the detainees
Subject: Inmate phone calls
Depends on the three-way...:) if we are tlking about a 3-way call, then my advice would be to NEVER attempt it. The phone companies provide the prisons with the latest detection technology that sniffs out three-way calling. It is 100% against the rules of all institutions and loss of phone privilege for six months or more is the penalty. The people that get away with it do so for only a few calls before getting caught.
With InmateAid's Discount Calling Service, we...

Maybe he's buying candy, or snacks, or sneakers or medicine - it most certainly would be a very uninteresting list. Inmates are entitled to privacy - that includes the commissary purchases, or who sends them money, or who is on their call list or who is on their visiting list.
Subject: Treatment vs.incarceration
IOP stands for Intensive Outpatient Program. It is a structured treatment program designed for people dealing with substance abuse or mental health issues who do not require around-the-clock medical supervision but still need more support than a once-a-week counseling session can provide.
The way it works is that participants come in for treatment sessions several times a week, typically three to five days, for a few hours at a time. The schedule is intentionally designed to be compatible with holding a...

The straightforward answer is that getting on that list as a girlfriend is going to be very difficult, and at most juvenile facilities it is not permitted at all under standard policy.
Juvenile detention centers deliberately limit outside contact to immediate family during placement. The reasoning is that the time inside is meant to be a reset, a period where the young person works on themselves without the distractions and social dynamics from their life before detention. Girlfriends, friends, and peers...
