Inmates do not have Internet access. InmateAid is a service that will help you, help your inmate by placing all of the services that you could use, all in one place. Also, information is difficult to come by and sometimes you want to help but just do not know how. InmateAid is set up to link your inmate to you, making it more convenient and organized to get the help to them that you want.

Information doesn't make it's way out of state prison easily. If you are genuinely concerned you should call the chaplain at the facility and let them know your thoughts. Most of the time, it is nothing more serious than a loss of privileges for an incident report, or it could be a group punishment where they disallow phone calls for a period of time.

Absolutely. It does not replace any phone carrier that is in place at the county jail, it makes their calls cheaper by making the inmate's outbound call a local call. There is a big price difference between local and long distance pricing dialing out of a county jail. If your number is not local, email us the name of the jail and your phone number. We will run a diagnostic on the computer to see if there is enough of

Depending on the facility, there are two or three companies that provide commissary packages but only a small number of facilities accept delivery from them. Where is your inmate?

You did not mess up. Drinking that ends up with violence is why there are jails. People who do not know better and need to be caged to protect those that beat their "loved ones".

The national pulse on domestic violence is not offering high tolerance, either.  If

That begins and ends with the sentencing judge. Parole is a privilege that can only be offered by the judge in the Judgement and Commitment document. This will detail all the elements of the crime, the sentence and all stipulations attached - call the clerk of the court and ask for the judge's secretary, they have the information and it is available to the public for the asking.

There are many stories of jailhouse romances as they are conveyed by men with lots of time on their hands. They do their best romancing over the phone and in visitation but when they get released, there is no relationship. But just opposite happens too. You are going to have to be the deciding factor - do you believe them and is there a history of trust? If there is a bad history, then your heart should lead you to

You are doing all of the right things to stay connected. If you start writing letters, there is lag time in the beginning but after the first one gets there, then there'll be a stream of consistent letters for him just about every day - if you keep writing everyday.  InmateAid's letter service is as fast as there is and VERY reliable. The photo feature is the most popular. Setting up a phone account can get expensive if you are

TDCJ are required to do 85% of their sentence. The only possibility for parole is determined by the sentencing judge in the Judgement and Commitment Order. Ask your inmate's counselor f there is a provision for a parole hearing, usually commencing at the one-third mark in the sentence.

Mail is considered sacred in a prison, detention center or jail.  InmateAid's service is not email; it is with the US Postal Service. Inmates do not have Internet access. We estimate that it takes 2-3 business days to make it to the jail. Once there, the staff opens and reads each piece of mail and inspects it for contraband. Any delay that occurs at the facility is out of our control. We make no guarantees as to how long it
