As a general rule, juvenile facilities only allow visitation from the immediate family. It has nothing to do with your age, it's limited to mother, father, sister, brother and grandparents only.
Read moreA standard traffic ticket and an unpaid fine on their own will not prevent you from being approved for visitation at a California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation facility. Those are minor infractions that do not show up as disqualifying factors in a background check for visitation purposes. The only scenario where this becomes a problem is if an unpaid fine led to a missed court date and a bench warrant was issued. That is the question worth sitting
Read moreFirst, congratulations for being there at the finish line. Ten years is a long stretch for everyone on both sides of those walls, and the fact that you rode it out says something real about who you are. Now for the honest version of what comes next, because you deserve that more than you deserve reassurances. The technology gap alone is jarring in ways that are hard to fully anticipate. Smartphones, apps, contactless payments, streaming services, the way

Read moreIt is possible but not the most likely outcome, and the specifics of why he is on probation matter more than the probation status itself. When an inmate is approved for home placement, the supervising agency does not simply rubber-stamp any address submitted. They review the proposed residence and the people living there as part of determining whether the placement is appropriate. A household member on probation is a flag that gets attention, not an automatic disqualifier. What

Here is what is actually happening when that message plays. The federal phone system runs every call through an automated monitoring layer that listens for specific keywords, unusual call patterns, and other triggers. Think of it like a search engine running in real time against the conversation. If the system detects a word or phrase on its flagged

Only inmates with long sentences (along with a perfect record while incarcerated) are eligible. Our advice is: if your relationship is strong, marriage is not going to change anything. If you are getting married for other reasons, we would recommend waiting until you can have a proper ceremony.
