Our system is perfect in all detentions centers, jails and prisons. InmateAid helps navigate the rules and nuances that exist in an industry with varying rules and regulations. If it is the phone service, and your inmate gets moved, InmateAid is the only company that will make changes in your account (like a new number if they get moved) at no additional cost. Let us know what you wish to accomplish and we can help guide you through successfully.

The circumstances are about the behavior of the inmate, the amount of time served versus their time remaining (on the low side) as they want to integrate the inmate back into society, and give them an incentive to return to the prison to finish out the remainder of the sentence.

Inmates are released with the money they have earned at their prison job, if there is a balance. Also the same is true for money that is deposited by someone on the outside (that was not spent at commissary) into the inmate's trust account.
