His lifestyle is only going to change if he does steps necessary to improve his thought process. There is something that the therapists point to when assisting in rehabilitation: criminal thinking. Does your inmate have the capacity to look at himself and his flawed thinking. The inmate that can come to terms with his mistakes and face "change", will change. There are also other attitudes that an inmate must address as they go back to be a productive member of society

The online transfer services will not accept international cards. InmateAid offers a solution for international members but since it is not part of our core business, the service fee for doing so is a bit pricey. We charge $15 for the service but you also will have to pay the transfer fee for the service that the jail uses plus a credit card processing fee - the last two components are not fees for InmateAid but are necessary to get

The phone service at the all of the jails and prisons are set up through bid process. Whoever has the contract for all inmate outbound calling and to tape record the calls has a monopoly contract. Therefore, you have to use them to receive calls. The choice is whether you pay them for a long distance call or a local call. The price is usually a pretty sizable difference Here is how it works... We get you a local line

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 will take as there are thousands of facilities and none of them do things the same way.Please be patient, if the ID number and facility are correct we are

All we can do is let you know if the letter is returned. If it gets returned we will resend it for you. We have no control over your inmate's profile (set up by member/users), their movement or if the wrong facility was selected, or if the inmate is not located there.  Therefore, there are no refunds but as stated, we will resend it at no charge once you have located him.

The lines come to you via email. The prisons will not normally pass along a telephone number to an inmate so you have to get them the new number. InmateAid will give you a coupon to write your inmate and notify them of the new telephone number to use. The savings results vary depending on the prison, your location and the prison telephone system they use. If you want an honest estimate of what the cost of the calls might

“Ask the Inmate” is not a direct communication link to a particular inmate, it is a question and answer forum between you and a former inmate who knows how things work on the inside. To communicate, you can write letters or send photos - you will have to go to your My Account area and click on the Inmate Page and then click "Letters". You will be able to communicate to them through there.

Calling 911 is not the brightest idea. There is no access for the ambulance to get to an inmate unless the prison calls them first. There is capable medical attention in all of the facilities. The process is that there are a few days set aside when a doctor comes into the facility to see inmates on a "call out" basis. If your inmate has an issue, he needs to fill out a form and give it to the counselor

You can call the facility and ask to speak to her counselor. Being her mother, you should be able to get some definitive answers on a release date and the terms of her release.

Reading posts from others is not going to put your mind at ease. This facility is for short-time inmates. Generally speaking, when inmates get close to the door, there is a lot less nonsense going on. No inmate wants to jeopardize their release date by doing stupid things. The facilities are all non-smoking but getting cigarettes in prison is not hard. They are expensive but smoking goes on, he just has to be careful not to end up in the
