He will most likely not get the mail, most institutions will not forward the mail to transferred inmates. If you send us an email to aid@inmateaid.com with the new location, we will make the change in the inmate profile and resend the letter for you at no charge.

That is actually a better sentence than one year (the judge did him a small favor). Any federal sentence over one year qualifies for "good time credit". Good time is 15% of the sentence which is granted upon arrival. This is the best he will do, he can only lose this good time by getting into trouble while there. He will do 311 days and then deal with whatever supervised release time that was on his sentence.

Inmates that have money on their inmate trust accounts can purchase stamps and envelopes at the weekly commissary. If they do not have money on their books, the prison will provide indigent inmates with all the materials necessary to send out mail to their loved ones. If your inmate writes to you directly, using your address, the cost of the mailing is a 49 cent stamp. Many of our members use the Inmate Response Mail service through InmateAid. Your inmate

It depends on the level of custody the prison where your cousin is headed as the higher security has longer term sentences with inmates who have little to lose when they fight.

The same could happen on a street corner, a restaurant or a store. The likelihood of altercations will depend on

We have answered this questions many ways in previous questions. It depends on what survival means to the specific inmate.  Prison is what you make of it. It can serve as a beneficial learning experience or it can be a living hell. Every inmate has a choice. An inmate can survive prison by simply following prison administration rules and respecting both officers and fellow prisoners. Offenders can make life harder on themselves by refusing to follow the direct orders of

Yes it is a good feeling to have your sentence reduced unless you have to cooperate with the government to get the reduction. Then there is a measure of guilt for putting someone else behind bars and making them miserable because you can't do the time you "earned" for your own crime (our opinion). If you get a reduction for taking the RDAP program, then there is a greater measure of accomplishment as you got the reward for helping yourself

Unfortunately there is nothing anyone on the outside can do to intervene on prison matters. Discipline and punishment is meted out by the rules of the institution and all the inmates know them the minute they are first brought in. If there is a suspicion, the system has it's way of doing things and it will have to run it's course.

Usually there is a hug and light kiss upon entering and exiting but no touching during the visit. The protocol is standard but there are some visiting room guards that are either less strict or over-the-top strict... be careful not to disrespect the ones that take themselves too seriously.

We do not have any information about the inmate (name, etc.) so whatever we offer herein is just a guess. In the federal system, the inmates MUST serve 85% of their time. There are two possible exceptions.  One, if this person is a cooperating witness or offers substantial assistance in another case that results in the incarceration of other individuals, he could get as much as 50% off his sentence. This would not happen until the other individuals were sentenced and incarcerated.  The
