The BOP release date on the website is the real number and it already has the 15% good time credit built in. What you see there assumes clean conduct throughout and no additional credits from programs like RDAP. As long as he avoids incident reports, that date stays intact all the way to the door. Here is how the math breaks down on 78 months. With the standard 15% good time reduction already applied, he is looking at
Read moreThe most reliable confirmation is hearing back from your inmate directly, but when that response has not come, it does not necessarily mean your mail is not getting through. Inmates receive mail more consistently than most people on the outside realize. Facilities treat incoming mail as a protected form of communication and make genuine effort to ensure it reaches the right person. If you have been sending through InmateAid consistently, the letters and emails are almost certainly arriving. What
Read moreWhat you can send depends on the facility, but here is a practical rundown of the most common categories and how each one works. Letters. Letters are accepted at virtually every jail, prison, and detention center in the country. They must be addressed with your friend's full legal name, inmate ID number, and the complete facility address. InmateAid prints and mails letters for you, or you can send them directly through the postal service. Photos. Photos are permitted
Read moreTV tends to pick the most extreme situation that could happen. If they were to film a day in a jail, it would put you to sleep. Nothing really goes on... it's wake up, eat, clean your cell, watch tv, eat again, watch tv, play cards, read a book, read a magazine, play basketball, do puzzles, eat a third time, watch tv - read - play chess, go to bed. Tomorrow and tomorrow are all the same... like the movie Groundhog

It is the state agency that oversees all of North Carolina's correctional facilities, including state prisons, community corrections, and juvenile justice operations. For anyone trying to track an inmate's release date in the North Carolina system, the NCDPS offender search is the most reliable and current source available. The database pulls directly from the department's own records and reflects the most up-to-date release date calculation including good time credits and
Read moreYes, and it is more common than most people on the outside realize. A significant portion of the incarcerated population does their entire sentence completely alone. No visits, no phone calls, no letters. Nobody putting money on the commissary account, nobody checking in, nobody counting down the days with them. They go in with whatever connections they had and watch those connections quietly disappear over months and years until there is nobody left. It happens for all kinds

Read moreNo, the Sumter County Prison uses Bealls Communication. The calls are $5.45 per 15 minute call. If you are local to Americus Georgia the same call to a local number is only $1.85. If you are not a local call, we can get you an Americus number on a non-contract basis, month-to-month for $19.95. If your inmate calls more than once a week, the savings will pay our fee. If you speak everyday, you will love this service. If you want to
Read moreDo not go. This is one of the most certain ways to get arrested outside of walking into a police station. Every visitor to a correctional facility goes through an identity check before they are admitted. That is not optional and it is not cursory. Staff run every visitor's identification through the NCIC, the National Crime Information Center, which is a comprehensive federal database containing criminal records, felonies, outstanding warrants, and records of confinement from jurisdictions across the entire
Read moreMany of the inmate profiles are created by the friends and family members of the offender. The information is not independently verified by InmateAid unless requested. The profiles are created so that the member of the site may communicate and interact with their inmate of choice. Therefore, we suggest that the release date on the NCDPS is the accurate one. We apologize if the date posted here gave you false hope of an earlier release, but that is not the case. We have
