it's no picnic... as they say, "do your time, don't let your time do you"
Read moreThis happens more often than you would think, and it is usually a simple fix. Most inmate phone systems have a feature where pressing a certain key during an incoming call, often a number on the keypad, triggers an automatic block on that number. It is easy to do accidentally, especially if you are fumbling with the phone or hit a button while trying to answer. The good news is it is not permanent. Call the facility directly
Read moreGood news. The service works the same way for state prison as it does for county jail. Here is how it works. Every facility uses a phone carrier, and that carrier sets rates based on the phone number being called. Those rates vary depending on the number's area code, carrier, and location. InmateAid's system runs your number through an algorithm that checks the carrier's own rate calculator and determines whether a different forwarding number can connect you to your

En casi todos los casos, existe una amplia variación de precios según su ubicación. En la prisión federal, las tarifas son de seis centavos por minuto para un número local, 21 centavos por minuto para una llamada de larga distancia.

Read moreThere is no set timeline, and that is the frustrating reality of transfers within the county and state system. Once a sentence is handed down and a placement is determined, the facility needs two things to move him: an available bed at the receiving location and a transport arrangement. Both of those depend on factors outside anyone's direct control. If the detention center has open beds and a transport run scheduled soon, it could happen within days. If beds

Probation violations go back to the judge who handed down the original sentence, and that is where things get complicated. That judge already showed leniency once by putting your son on probation instead of sending him to prison or jail. When a violation brings someone back into the courtroom, the judge's goodwill from
Read moreIt happens constantly, and it is one of the more predictable problems in county jail environments. Drugs inside jails and prisons are far more available than most people on the outside imagine. The demand is there because addiction does not stop at the facility door. People who were using heavily before they came in are still dealing with that dependency inside, and where there is demand, someone will try to meet it. Smuggling attempts come through visits, mail, staff,

Here is a link to the Securus' Rate Calculator (https://securustech.online/#/rate-quote). This rate calculator allows the customer to see what the rates are... in many cases the savings are 50-75% off.
