The visitation in federal facilities is very organized and civilized. If you get there, you will get to visit. If he is in the FCI, the supervision is tighter than if he is in the camp. The camp visitation is almost like you're not in a prison. Bring $20 in ones or quarters (for vending machines) in a see-thru bag and nothing else but your car keys and drivers license. Do not wear shorts or any top that shows too

It depends on the facility's warden and custody level of the inmate. We would advise calling the chaplain of the prison and see what their rules are on inmate marriage.

We estimate it takes 2-3 business days. However their could be delays once inside the facility as they open each piece of mail for contraband - in some cases read all the mail too. Be patient, we have excellent delivery success.

Most detention centers do not allow conjugal visits. There are a few state systems that allow it but none in county or federal. The visits are not "intimate" and depending upon the custody level of your inmate, you might not even have contact. The county jails are difficult to assess as the visitation rules differ. We would advise calling them and getting specific instructions to be sure.

The federal "hole" is known as the SHU (Special Housing Unit). The length of time for administrative segregation is usually determined by a single staff member called the DHO (Disciplinary Hearing Officer).

It can be as little as "time served" or as much as 6-12 months depending on the severity of the offense and the information that the others

The best way to get through with an emergency is the inmate's  counselor, their case manager or in extreme cases the chaplain.

Absolutely, inmates awaiting sentencing may make telephone calls. InmateAid has a program to cut the cost of inmate calls by up to 90%, in some cases. Email or call 866-966-7100 for details.

It depends on the facility and the circumstances that are in place when the mail arrives. We estimate that it takes 2-3 business days to get to the mail room. Once there, the staff opens each piece of mail, usually reads the contents of the message for threats or salacious photos. There can be no inmate-to-inmate correspondence or inference. This process sometimes delays the actual mail call delivery.

InmateAid gets you a telephone number that is local to the jail. It will ring on your telephone number, which will remain the same. Local calling prices are as much as 90% less than long distance calls. You will only pay the jail telephone company for the local call, InmateAid provides the long distance at about 6.6 cents per minute.
