The process of getting yourself back together begins with questions like this. We are happy to help in any way possible with advice or mentoring. My favorite saying is, "show me your friends and I'll show you your future". My guess is that the people you are hanging around with are the main part of the problem. No one 15 years old is inherently bad on the inside, it is circumstance, opportunity and then acting on something without considering the

I was in federal, county and a private facility and there were female guards in all three places. It was uncomfortable in the maximum security setting as they oversaw the pod area, we had to shower in the open, right in front of their control room window. 

You will need to contact the inmate's counselor and tell them the situation. You will then be able to send the un-signed check to the facility where they will have your inmate endorse the check to be deposited in their commisary/phone account.

Inmates benefit greatly from all the services inmateAID provides. Getting released...it feels unbelieveable, better than sex... until you have that again for the first time :))

They are assessing the risk factors on the type of person they will be housing. The factors that make up the decision are the type of crime the offender was convicted of, the length of the sentence, whether that person is a first-time or multiple time offender, and is there violence in their history. The decision-makers compile all of these considerations and make a recommendation on the security level of the facility they'll be assigned to.

Control review refers to the custody classification where the inmates will live and at what custody level. Each prison system has a process for determining where an inmate should be housed. Each facility within the system is operated on one or more custody levels. Inmates may be promoted to lower custody levels during routine reviews if considered appropriate. The custody levels are high or maximum, medium, low and minimum (camp).

Confinement in Response to Violation (CRV) centers house and provide intensive behavior modification programs for those who have committed technical violations of probation. CRV centers incarcerate violators for 90-day periods in response to violations of probation, parole or post-release supervision. The CRV centers utilize dormitory style housing similar to a minimum-security prison and offer intensive programming designed to modify behavior of probation violators.  Probation officers and case managers work closely with offenders as they progress through treatment and programming

All inmates must go through Orientation before they are allowed to set up their privileges. Visitation, phone calls are a couple of things that have to wait - it is usually not more than a week before they allow privileges.

There are computer labs for inmates to use but they are not connected to the internet. Some inmates gain access to the internet through smuggled smart phones but they are dangerous to be caught with them. Many do acquire them and almost all get thrown in the SHU and then shipped to a higher custody facility.
