You cannot send books from home. They are very security-conscious and require any books to come directly from the publisher. [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_lc?node=283155&tag=inmatecom-20&camp=15329&creative=394453&linkCode=ur1&adid=1NK4T3Z8XDKYJ0S12D53&&ref-refURL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.inmateaid.com%2Fpages%2Fdetails%2Fsend-books-to-an-inmate-in-prison-or-jail) is a trusted publishing brand and therefore our partner in helping folks send books into the prison or jail. To send a book, you have to enter the inmate's name, ID number and the correct address of the facility. You have to buy "new paperback books", the used books are sold by third party affiliates and those

You can search the [Georgia Department of Corrections Inmate Search](http://www.dcor.state.ga.us/GDC/OffenderQuery/jsp/OffQryForm.jsp) to get the correct Inmate ID number.

There are several state and county facilities that have arrangements with companies that deliver commissary baskets to inmates. You didn't mention the institution where your brother is incarcerated - if you look up that facility in our directory, there are buttons right there for ordering if it is something that they offer.

We are certain that he will appreciate them but most facility mail room staff will censor any nudity. It's best to send those kind of pictures with something on, you can make it sexy but going further than that will most likely get returned.

Parole boards are vested with almost unlimited power to decide who gets out of prison when, and why. Hearsay, rumor and instinct are all fair game. The law directs the board to take into account “the inmate’s culture, language, values, mores, judgments, communicative ability and other unique qualities.” In many states, the boards’ most basic workings are shielded by law from public view. Boards are not obligated to give any but the most cursory reasons for their decisions, which include

This is an ARREST ORDER for someone who has been indicted by a grand jury or an affidavit from law enforcement personnel

All of the facilities do things differently. To be certain, you might call them to ask what their procedures are. Typically, you will need to go through an NCIC background screening process to gain approval. Felons or co-defendants are usually not allowed for visitation. Unless you are a close family member with a criminal record, you might gain approval by petitioning the warden for a special exemption. The approval process sometimes requires the inmate sending you a form

That would be up to the original and most recent judge presiding over the case. Most parole/probation violations are sent back to complete the original sentence. The offender was given some leniency and had time taken off their sentence. Going in front of the judge that gave him a second chance does not turn out well in most cases.

Depending on the prison system that your inmate is in, the typical offender serves 85% of the time imposed. This 15% represents "good time" credited when the sentence begins. Assuming that the inmate has all of their good time intact, 85% of 480 months is 408 months of which 360 have been served. That leaves 48 months or exactly four years left to be served.

The rules for most of the state systems are that books may be sent in by the publisher only. Things might be slightly different as the Fulton Reception and Diagnostic Center is a stopping point before the inmate's designation. We would recommend calling 573-592-4040 to make certain they can receive books.
