Yes, I had a couple of pen pals that rode out my bid with me. One I met in the visiting room (she was visiting another inmate) where we had a physical attraction. That penpal seemed more real to me, I made greater efforts to let myself be more open than the one that just started writing me (from a news account of my trial). Neither went beyond the intimate letters and occasional phone calls. They bought me magazines and

Yes, we would be ahppy to help you locate your loved one. We need their name and the state you think they are incarcerated in. Was the crime a state or federal crime? Also, if you have their DOB, that might help. Sometimes the information is very recent and we would have to refer you to a pay service that has the freshest information. It's about $20, but if you are really in need, that is the best option.

Yes, eyeglasses are permitted in every classification of prison and/or jail. Just be sure to disclose that you are bringing them so that they do not see you passing the inmate something which is certain to cause a big ruckus.

There is a California State Statute that permits the prison mail room to hold incoming mail for inmates up to three weeks. It does not happen often, but they have that right and sometimes they enforce it.

If they are scheduled for release on the 28th, what is the court date about? If another county is picking him up, then he has a "detainer" on him. That is when another jurisdiction requests a hold on that person so they can bring them before the judge in their county that issued the warrant.

Yes, the inmate profiles are set up by Users of the site. They can set up an inmate profile or use one that is already on the website. There are no restrictions, but one User cannot see if another User is connected to the inmate you are following. There are a lot of famous inmates doing time. Users like to reach out and write them or send them pictures or other things. Aaron Hernandez, before his death and OJ

Inmates benefit greatly from all the services inmateAID provides. Getting released...it feels unbelieveable, better than sex... until you have that again for the first time :))

Yes, we have more than one person write. When you're locked up you have nothing but free time. To us, the more letters, the better. For calls, in federal inmates may only talk 300 minutes per month (400 minutes in Nov. and Dec.), state inmates can talk all day if they have the funds on their account. Many penpals will send money so that the inmate will call them. Some do, some don't We don't mean to play mind games,

Yes, they make it easy. Once you get a name or two, you should use this service, everyone does as it's cheaper and recognized by the jails and prisons

The federal system will allow the prostetic leg. We cannot find a state system that disallows prostetic limbs, and unless there are come county jails out there that prohibit it for some archane reason will don't see it as a problem. The only thing they will NOT allow is a toupee.
