Hair dye is a minor infraction especially in a camp, but contraband is a loosely used term in the incident reports. Contraband can be a weapon, drugs, obvious signs of operating a business, gambling records or ANYTHING not on the comissary list. Hair dye seems almost like a nuisance charge, we wonder whose bad-side did your husband get on. Our guess is that the SHU stay will be no more than two weeks and he might have some limitations on commissary purchases

It could be two to six months before he’s released.

LOP is "loss of privileges". If he was moved, it was probably to a disciplinary or special housing unit (SHU) within his complex detention unit (CDU).

If it's available to him and he wakes up, he will more than likely get out sooner than the six years.

InmateAid has been sending postcards, greeting cards, high quality photos and letters for famililes since 2012, without any issue. Some jails will ONLY accept postcards - all jails must accept US Postal Service mail. If you have the correct facility for your inmate, your InmateAid mail will get there, guaranteed.

There will be some sort of form to fill out as you will probably need to somehow gain approval from the jail staff.

Just drop us an email to aid@inmateaid.com and we will make the chages and resend your inmate the thoughtful letters or postcards.

The facilities only forward the mail if the inmate is in the same system, like if they are in federal and get shipped to another federal facility in a different state... that mail WILL get to your inmate, eventually. Same with the state system. Where mail will NOT get forwarded is if the inmate is moving between systems. County jail to county jail the mail will never get there (InmateAid will resend it for you for no charge, just let
