Just thought of a question?

Have a question?

Subject: Inmate supplies
My friend is in Monroe IL County Jail. Can I send via Amazon some chocolates, cookies and snacks? Or toiletry items, also via Amazon? I am in Europe and cannot call the facility to inquire. Thank you very much for an answer!
No, you cannot send foodstuffs unless they have an arrangement with a commissary pack company. However, we do not see anything showing that they do. You can use Amazon to send them paperback books. Another option would be to put money on their books so that they can shop in the prison commissary which has plenty of options like chocolates, cookies and snacks.

Can my husband put his self on some sort of list were female inmates can get his contact info... Tulare county California
No, there are no lists where female inmates can communicate with male inmates. Any contact or communication attempts between inmates are strictly prohibited. There are, however, services where an inmate can post his name and personal info to prospective pen pals. These are women wishing to write inmates but are not inmates themselves.

How do I know if my husband still talks to a girl i caught him cheating on me with
You cannot get any information from the prison regarding an inmate's visiting list, phone list or who puts money on their books. The inmate's privacy is protected completely. If you suspect that this is still happening, it probably is.

Subject: Commissary
My boyfriend is at the IDOC Northern Reception Center. His status is currently reception. Is he able to buy commissary while in reception? And if I add money to Securus, will he be able to make calls?
The Northern Reception and Classification Center (NRC) functions as the major adult male intake and processing unit for the entire state of Illinois. The NRC contains 1,800 beds in 24 housing units. Within the NRC is also the Stateville Minimum Security Unit. Inmates are admitted to the NRC in reception status. They remain in this status until they are transferred to a permanent institution.

Can i write an inmate, that doesnt know me, to uplift them with some positive words?
Yes, you can, and you have some good reasoning behind wanting to do so. We encourage you to write using our Letter Service, it keeps your personal address anonymous. If he wants to write you back, he can do so to our address and we scan the mail and place it in your Account Dashboard under "Letters from Inmates".

In the state of Louisiana, I think they changed the law so they can reduce the population. And save money. So now the offenders get good time and 25% off of their sentence non-violent offenders if so how much time will they do on a 4 yrs sentence
If what you are saying is accurate, 25% off 48 months is 12 months leaving 36 months of time. BUT, there are some other factors that could make the sentence even less, like if the judge allows this convict to have parole. If eligible they could conceivably get more time off but spend it on the streets as a parolee.

Subject: Prison food
How does the food in prison taste?
Not great. The meal plans are prepared by a registered dietician with foods that meet the daily minimum requirements for calories, carbohydrates, proteins and nutrients. But, they use limited spices and condiments for taste, so the meals end up being somewhat bland.
