Read moreWhen an altercation occurs at any correctional facility, including Halawa in Hawaii, both participants are typically removed from the general population and placed in the Special Housing Unit. That placement comes with immediate and significant restrictions on all privileges, including phone access. In the SHU, phone access is reduced to one 15-minute call per week. That is the standard allowance across virtually every correctional system and it applies regardless of which facility or state the inmate is in. One
Read morePC or protective custody or administrative segregation is also known as the SHU, special housing unit, the hole, solitary confinement. Therefore the rules are the same for all inmates in the SHU. There is only one phone call per week, limited commissary, limited rec and limited showers. So, to answer your question - "yes they will have to wait unit it is their day to call." Mine was on Friday.
Read moreThe facility itself is not formally notified when you set up a phone account, and there is no alert sent to staff or administration. The system that handles inmate calls is run by the private carrier contracted to that facility, and account activity on your end is not their concern. What does happen is that the inmate typically receives a receipt through mail call. It is a straightforward notification that an account has been established, delivered the same way
Read moreIf they are moved within the same system, like federal-to-federal or state-to-state the mail will get forwarded. If they cross over or are sent to county for court, then the mail will be returned.

Your person needs to formally request an interstate transfer through their West Virginia parole officer. That request gets submitted through the compact process and Florida's
Read moreSelling a house before a prison surrender date is entirely doable as long as you start the process early enough, and the real estate process works the same way it would under any other circumstances. Contact a local real estate agent who works in your neighborhood. An agent familiar with your specific market will know what comparable homes are selling for, how to price yours competitively, and how to move the sale as efficiently as possible given your timeline.
Read moreThe rumor that Florida does not extradite is false. Florida extradites aggressively and does not limit that pursuit based on distance or state lines. Felony warrants including probation violation warrants are pursued by Florida regardless of where the person is picked up. Alabama, Alaska, or anywhere else, Florida will send transport officers to collect someone on an active felony warrant. The state has a well established extradition process and treats probation violations seriously, particularly because a violation represents a
Read moreBeing a racial minority in any prison population requires the same fundamental skills that determine how anyone survives inside, and the core of all of it is respect. If your ex grew up in the hood and understands street culture, he already has the most important tool available to him. Prison social dynamics are built on the same foundation as street dynamics in many ways. Knowing how to carry yourself, how to give and receive respect, how to read
Read moreEveryone is different. When I first got there, I was buying all kinds of snacks and candy. I thought having those sweet things to eat, would make me feel better. But the more time I did, the more I got into working out and getting into great shape.
