The Fulton Reception and Diagnostic Center (FRCD) is the first stop for newly incarcerated inmates confined in the Missouri Department of corrections. Depending on the assessment of the offender, they will be classified based on the age, crime convicted of, length of sentence and risk of flight. This classification will place them in a security category that aligns with the type of prison (maximum, medium, low or minimum security) they will do the balance of their sentence. During the first

Each inmate has a billing cycle for their phone use. It begins on the date of their internal approval to use the Trulincs system. It can be any date of the month and the renewal is on that same date the following month. If your inmate's date is on the 15th, then on November 15th, they will get 400 minutes to span until December 15th when they would recharge for another 400 minutes. With this question, InmateAid is offering

This depends on where they are being held. Most long term facilities have many options for vocational and educational improvement. It could always be better, our advise is to get your inmate involved in all the programming the facility offers and if able, enroll them in college courses offered by legitimate universities under the "distance learning" programs.

This depends on where they are incarcerated. The federal system is by far the best for medical attention and the state system is adequate... but the rule of thumb is to "not get sick", unfortunately that is easier said than done but it is minimal attention at best. Most facilities will charge the inmate some sort of fee for medical attention that is taken from the inmate's commissary account. If they are indigent, then the state or feds will pick

The "prison" conditions are the same for men and women. The problem is not the prison, it's the inmates that are there are there at the same time as your loved one. Sometimes, they run smoothly and others not so much. The main problem is boredom and how each inmate deals with it. If your inmate is able to compartmentalize their feelings and thoughts, their time will go smoothly. Never put themselves in a position where they can be isolated by

No good! Cell phones in prison or jail is a new charge, a felony thanks to the Obama Administration. If they are in federal, the punishment is probably 6-12 months in the SHU (disciplinary segregation), no phone privileges, no visitation, no commissary and at the end of the SHU stay, they will be shipped to a higher security facility most likely hundreds of miles away from the nearest family member to add another hardship to the folks that care about

Lousy, but it offers all the essential nutrients and vitamins that are required for the daily minimum. It's prison, hard to expect much more. Inmates can supplement their food intake by buying food stuff at the commissary. Inmates that have money on their books can buy tuna, chicken, salmon, beef, mackerel and summer sausage (like salami) to make their own meals.

The best thing I learned was that i never want to go back. I also learned about the things in my personality that led to getting in trouble in the first place. There are no short cuts in life. If you make a practice of taking short cuts to achieve something, there's going to be a time where it catches up. That is when you realize you've gone too far. Things have to change in your thinking before you get

There are stipulations attached to an inmate transfer request. Depending on the facility, the inmate would have to be there a minimum amount of time (9-18 months) there before a transfer request would be considered. If their "problems" are live-threatening, the inmate can always go to their counselor and request administrative segregation. This would be a last resort as it is total isolation, but it is done in cases where the safety of an inmate is in question and the
