Inmates who are serving less than a year will usually have their application for marriage denied with the presumption being that such a short wait will not harm the prisoner or prospective spouse. Each partner must be legally eligible and mentally competent to marry. Marriages may be blocked for security or disciplinary reasons; solitary confinement can block access to marriage. Most states do not allow marriage for inmates on death row; California is at least one exception to that rule.

Inmates are allowed to receive incoming mail from the US Postal Service. Our service sends your letters and pictures through the mail. It is a very reliable and convenient service and as long as you have the right facility and the correct inmate name and ID number, the mail will reach them.  Please be mindful that ALL mail is read for content, pictures screened for "cleanliness" and the staff has final say whether the mail will make it into the

What is his name, DOB and the state where he caught the charge? Also, if you know, was the charge a state or federal charge? By the sound of your information, the federal prisoners are usually the only ones transferred by air. We will find him for you.

You can use the website without entering an inmate ID number. That being said, the real problem happens when trying to send things to them into a prison or jail. They typically require the ID number on any correspondence, therefore we recommend including it.

Inmates in the federal system are given the basic necessities for hygiene even if they cannot go to commissary because they lack funds.

Two or more penal sentences that are served simultaneously: the total sentence period equals the duration of the longest sentence. Sentences that may all be served at the same time, with the longest period controlling, are concurrent sentences. Judges may sentence concurrently out of compassion, plea bargaining, or the fact that the several crimes are interrelated. When the sentences run one after the other, they are consecutive sentences. In contrast, consecutive sentences run one after another: the total sentence period

Usually, his violation penalty will be imposed by the judge who originally sentenced him. He will have to do the violation time at the location determined by the jurisdiction of the original crime. If he has additional county time on top of the violation, that might be run concurrent but if you want to be sure, check with the Clerk of the Court to see how the judge wrote the order (and hope the word "consecutive" is not in there).

There is a nurse's station inside the prison that is visited 3-4 times a week by a local physician. Your inmate will get a complete physical when entering the facility and any medical attention that is required or medicine that they will need going forward gets handled there. Inmates that feel sick may request a doctor's visit, this is referred to as a "sick call". When the doctor arrives, the inmate will be called to the appointment, diagnosed and treated

If there are many documented cases where one or two COs are receiving the bulk of the complaints you might try and contact the State Administrative Board for them to look into it - but it needs to be done in writing to keep a "paper trail" of your documentation.
