The 1300 inmate Chillicothe Correctional Center is relatively new and has many recreational, educational and vocational programming options available. With the right attitude an inmate can gain a lot of knowledge if they are willing to put int the time. It is not considered a high risk facility but prison is still a serious place. Actually there have been more guard-on-guard domestic crimes

Four months?? That is nothing. You are scared because of the unknown, but this is going to be like "four months of adult camp", not prison.

If his sentence was in a state court (not federal), there is a chance that the judge in the case added a parole provision. If that is in their Judgement and Commitment Order, then they might be eligible for the first parole board meeting at 1/3 of their sentence.

There is no specific time set aside. They transfer the inmate to the jurisdiction where the judge sits and whenever there is a court date, he will be there. It might be a week, it could be three months we just have no way of knowing.

Usually 2-3 business days, BUT there are sometimes delays once in the mailroom. The staff opens and reads every piece of mail before handing it out. We send thousands and thousands a day, if the facility is correct and there is an inmate ID number we guarantee it will get there.

depends on the volume of questions. there are hundreds of the same question asked again and again. we usually do not get to them immediately. try and ask a question that is specific so that it gets answered quickly
