After you have set up an Inmate profile page, go to your My Account area of the site. Go to where your inmate's name is, there is a menu bar with choices of services. Click on "Letters" and scroll to the bottom. If you are going to write a letter, this is where to do it. When you are ready to select some pictures, click "Browse", it will take you to where your pictures are stored on your device (computer

InmateAid works in every prison, jail or detention center in the United States. There are varying degrees of how much we can help and which service works best for your situation.  Our mail service makes it into all facilities unless there is a "post card only" restriction. We will have a post card option within a few weeks and at that point we will have 100% coverage. Magazine subscriptions are allowed in all facilities, paperback books, too.  The telephone service

Usually, the sentence requires an 85% serve time. If they get the good time, it'll probably be 4-5 days early, off of the 30 days. Inmate release is different in every facility but it is normally in the early morning hours, not a midnight. 

The primary way to get a sentence reduction without having to cooperate with the government with substantial assistance in convicting someone else is the Residential Drug Addiction Program (RDAP). If the inmate is eligible, there is a nine month program what once completed will reduce the sentence up to twelve months along with a guarantee of six months of halfway house.  If you have more detailed questions about this, we have people here that have gone through the program and know more about it than

Federal indictments statistically have a 97% conviction rate. Most of the drug conspiracy cases are done with multiple defendants who are typically informing on each other to reduce their own sentence. Depending on the true story behind your husband's involvement, there is a high likelihood that he will indeed do federal time, regardless that he is a first-time offender.  If your husband has some guilt in this case, the best advice we can give is to not spend too much

The magistrate that oversaw the arraignment determines bail on a number of factors. Did the magistrate set a bail amount for your inmate? The other defendants either bonded out or were not considered for bail, which brings up another set of questions. If your inmate is not able to get out, this will seem like a long process and will likely drag on for several weeks or even months before there is a disposition. The federal prosecution tends to move

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

“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.
