She will definitely get caught, they all do either being sloppy or someone snitching on them that they have it. Once they get ahold of her phone, they will go through all the number dialed

that is tough stuff... even though it is hard and you are med you have to make an attempt to NOT say negative things about their dad to them. you can explain the cost and how it isn't possible to visit, but you can encourage them to write him and keep connected (if they want to). Try not to be the reason they have mad thoughts about him so maybe they can have a relationship with him when he is released.

Whether it be in sanitation, custodial, kitchen, landscaping, education, construction or other roles, the inmates run the prison overseen by COs (corrections officers).
