No problem, questions like yours are why we are here. The FMC Lexington is a medical facility which basically can handle long term care inmates.

You have all the control because you "can" walk out. He can't. You showed him that you could and his natural reaction is to try and gain some measure of dignity back by having his mom message you with his show of control. Three years is a long time together, if you want to work things out, you will need to send some love letters which talk about the issue and take some blame and apologize. If you want someone...

Not on the Internet, but there are programs that are coming in through the electronic tablets that are available through commissary. This is not wide-spread but it is very clever and we would like to see it available in more facilities. Inmates may download courses on their tablet that they purchase from an accredited university. The course is overseen by the education department who forwards the results back to the college for credits earned towards a degree.

By the short sentence imposed, it would appear that the PO had a little more sensibility with a positive THC test than if another drug found. Your girlfriend needs to think before smoking until her parole time is over. Then next violation is going to be a lot longer. It...

Can I still visit my boyfriend if I'm on probation, but NO pending charges?
The probation part is more the issue than a pending charge would be.…
The probation part is more the issue than a pending charge would be. Depending on the visitation approval process, we strongly urge you to check with the staff at the facility to make sure. If they run your information through NCIC, you will not be allowed visitation. You would then have to petition the warden for special permission. If that is going to be the end result, we would advise you to go straight to the warden before the screening....
