If your daughter has documented records that she is mentally ill, the administration is there to make sure that the inmate's custody level suits their profile. This is not like television, if she is in general population it is more likely that the inmates will take a liking to her and recognize her situation and help her get through this time. Jail enviroment creates an amazing study of the human spirit - it's not all predatory and horrible. It's a

Visitation Information - Eastern Shore Regional Jail General Visitation Visitors as well as inmates are required to follow certain rules established for visitation. A copy of the rules for visitation will be posted near the door to the visitation area. Any violation or disturbance which interferes with the operation of the jail during visitation times, will result in termination of visitation for that day. All visitation is non-contact and will be only on assigned days by Housing Unit.

Try and contact the chaplain or his case manager. It is not an unusual request, if you are very polite you might get it done.

Your husband would not be eligible for bail anyway so Wisconsin will wait for Mississippi for as long as they need to arrange a transfer. It could be a month or more in some instances.

Work release is different than the halfway house. Work release is when you live in the prison but take a bus (Mon - Fri) to a remote location where they work with civilians. When their work day is over, they return to the minimum security camp and sleep. The halfway house means "halfway between in prison and being released from prison." The halfway house is when the inmate is released into the community, they will live in the halfway house

Without knowing what the charges are, we would say that if it was a violation that didn't cause a new charge to be added, the worst case would be that he does the balance of the original sentence at the original facility he was serving time. The alternative could be anything less than that incrementally - maybe light time served?

It could be months, getting an approved housing situation must happen before the Board would consider a release. There has to be a place for this parolee to live - that the parole office knows about and finds it acceptable. She could get denied and you will have to go through the approval process again. We are not trying to be negative towards the release, but we've seen it happen where you think they are coming and it's months before
