No. CityTeleCoin cannot tell you what phone services you can or cannot have. They have no authority over your personal phone accounts, and they cannot require you to disconnect a number that has nothing to do with their system. What InmateAid provides is a local phone number that forwards to your existing phone. That number lives entirely outside of CityTeleCoin's platform. It is your number, on your phone, and it is none of their business. What is actually
Read morePhone time in the federal Bureau of Prisons system works differently than most families expect, and USP Beaumont follows the same national BOP rules. In the federal system, inmates do not purchase phone time the way you might buy minutes on a prepaid plan.

Read moreRDAP is absolutely FREE to the federal inmates. It is a great program and one that if completed will give the inmate one year off their sentence plus a guaranteed six months of halfway house.

Read moreYes, you will receive a phone number. Here is how the whole process works from start to finish. After you complete your payment, InmateAid assigns you a local phone number and sends it to you by email. Orders placed overnight are processed first thing in the morning, so if you ordered during off-hours expect the number to arrive within an hour or so of the business day starting. Once you have the number, the next step depends on
Read moreGood news here. FCI Talladega's satellite camp shares the same facility infrastructure as the medium, which means the discount phone number you already have set up will work at the camp without any changes on your end. When an inmate moves from the main compound to the satellite camp at the same complex, they are still dialing out through the same facility phone system. The number your family set up is already on the approved dial-out list, so it
Read moreIt depends on where the letter was addressed when you sent it. If you sent the letter to the facility your inmate was leaving, it may not follow him. Facilities do not reliably forward mail to a transferring inmate's new location, and there is no postal forwarding system in place the way there would be for a regular home address change. Mail sent to the old facility after an inmate has been transferred often gets returned to sender.
Read moreSubscriptions do not automatically forward when an inmate is transferred. The postal system and the prison mail room are two separate things, and neither one is responsible for tracking down a subscriber who has moved facilities. Here is what typically happens: if your friend is transferred within the same state prison system, some mail will follow for a short window while the forwarding order is active. But that window is short, inconsistent, and not guaranteed for publications. Magazines and
Read morePrison politics are real, but how much they affect your loved one depends heavily on a few specific factors: the custody level of the facility, whether it is state or federal, the nature of the charges, and the individual's age and background. The higher the security level, the more pronounced the group dynamics tend to be. At a maximum security state prison, racial and geographic groupings carry genuine weight and can affect where someone sits, who they associate with,
Read moreWhen you send a letter through InmateAid, we handle the printing and mailing on your end. Your letter is printed, properly addressed, and sent directly to the US Postal Service, which delivers it to the facility's mail room just like any other piece of mail. From there, staff opens and inspects it for contraband before it reaches mail call and gets handed to your inmate. The reply process is straightforward and works the same way regular mail always has.
