My 19 year old son just arrived at Grady Co Jail. Is he in danger physically?
Not really.…
Not really. Most of the jailhouse violence you hear about is remote and isolated. It is not the norm. There are things of course that will change that quickly. If your son keeps to himself and internalizes his thoughts and actions he'll get out without as much as an argument.

how long does it normally take for a magazine subscription to be delivered to prison
There are many publishers and they all have a slightly different response to this question.…
There are many publishers and they all have a slightly different response to this question. The rule of thumb is it takes about 8-10 weeks for the first issue to deliver. If you ordered from a subscription card inserted in a store magazine, the paragraph about delivery also suggests it "could take 8-10 weeks for the first magazine to arrive." The facilities will only allow magazines sent directly from the publisher. Our partners are honest and responsible.

Can everyone in prison see why each one of you are in there?
No.…
No. Inmates do not know the other inmates charges unless they speak about them. Our strong advice is to keep your crime to your self as well as your out-date. Inmates that are trouble-makers will have their people on the outside research what they can find on certain inmates. They will use the information if the crime is something they do not "approve of".

Maybe, depending on his crime, his in-prison behavior, the length of time left on his sentence. Furloughs are rare but if he's been a model inmate there is a chance they escort him to the hospital bedside for a couple of hours, but they are not going to "let him out early" for this reason.

Federal visitation is run very much by-the-book, and for an FCI Low facility you will have "contact" with your inmate. Upon arrival you will enter and give your ID (you will have already gone through an approval process beforehand filling out a form your inmate mailed you). Once you are accepted for the visit you will proceed through a metal detector like you'd see at an airport. You may hug and kiss upon greeting and leaving but do not let...

Does my husband who is in prison have access to the internet
No, absolutely not.…
No, absolutely not. However, there are inmates that have illegally obtained smartphones and can get access for a brief time. Inmates caught with a cell phone are subject to harsh disciplinary actions including loss of all privileges (commissary, telephone, visitation and possibly freedom because they will certainly spend the next 6-12 months in segregation in the SHU). There is a chance the inmate will catch another charge which could add upto another FIVE YEARS to their sentence, plus they are...

Background checks are usually pretty quick, it should not take longer than five business days. One thing to note, the facility notifies the inmate of the approvals, not the person applying. Therefore, you will have to hear back from your inmate to know when.
