Inmates are supplied with the essentials which include bedding and one blanket. This is not a hotel, this is a prison. They cannot call housekeeping and get another pillow or blanket. The only way is to barter for one with another inmate - there is always an inmate in every facility that is very plugged in and somehow has access to all kinds of contraband (for a fee). This scenario is a real possibility. My first week in federal prison, I was

It is like the movie "Goundhog Day". Every day is the same, there is nothing to distinguish one from another. It is boring and lonely, BUT you have to figure out a way to get into some sort of routine. For me, i am a creature of habit, i got myself into a routine that included working out, running, reading, playing poker (that was great for the evenings). I did 66 months in federal, so i made it out the other side.

You stayed ONE night and are writing about the conditions?!? Many state prisons in Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Arizona have no A/C. Evidently, the founding fathers forgot to include air conditioning for inmates in prison when they wrote the Constitution. Man up brother, stay out of the "heat".

Trustees are treated the very best by the prison staff. They get little benefits that go along way sometimes when you have so little to begin with.

You have the right to send it, the jail has the right to reject anything they want. If someone there interprets your mail to him as a detriment or violation of something, then they will withhold it. This is law enforcement, you have less rights than you think.

The inmate's only recourse is to file whatever report is within the inmate handbook. This is prison, and the staff doesnt want to be accused of anything related to lost items, etc. So be mindful in your advice to the inmate. Sometimes you have to just deal with the hardships and find away around the stuff you can't control. Having things taken, stolen, extorted from other by inmates (or guards sometimes) in prison is part of the terrain.

You're asking a guy that did federal time about someone doing time on the weekend? Come on man!!! The hours, like he's checking into the Holiday Inn for the evening LMAO. For the record, he's not an inmate, he's a tourist

We don't know much about the prisons in Mexico

Technically "no", but it is obvious that many, many inmates in fact do. Here are some of the ways that it might happen... 1) inmate sets up a FB account before they go in, they have a significant other manage the changes, 2) inmate PAYS someone to do the updates. there are actual businesses that will do an inmate's FB page for a fee., 3) inmate gets a smuggled smartphone and is doing the page themselves. This way is obviously
