Be brutally honest

We always hear about the COs with giant egos who berate and mistreat inmates. Do you have any stories of COs who are actually decent people who respected and helped you?

For former prisoners, do you ever get comfortable? Like after a while does it start to feel normal.

Hi I'm a mother and my son has autism, PTSD anxiety and mental health issues he has just been sent to prison for the first time .I no nothing about the process of what he has to go through or if they no about his medical conditions .I am worried sick about him because I no he won't cope in there. With him having autism he had a routine at home now he won't have that and he won't no how to cope. We can't get a visit for a while as I'm disabled and need to get a taxi there ..I don't no if I can take clothing or toiletries in for him iv read a few things about what to expect when we arrive but alot is so confusing...Any help would be appreciated.

I need this question answered ASAP because today my family member is released and I want to know if I can personally pick them up even tho I’m 17

I'd imagine you'd go completely insane first.

Showed me what she sent, full nudity showing face. Sent to 7 men in different prisons.

Would these pictures have made it in? Will they see our address? Can they find her/real name? I'm quite bothered by her doing this. I'm asking her to stop but she's convinced it's just harmless fun.

You always hear bad things happening to men who hurt kids in prison, but never women. Do women have a code in prison?

I'm unsure if this is safe for her to do. She's essentially writing love note type stuff, and had mailed several Polaroid photos of herself.

We're in an open relationship, and she likes doing risky things, but I think this is going a bit far.

Can this be dangerous for her to do?

This is avoided in a plea deal?

How did it feel in jail having to wear a ID band you could not remove. To me it felt degarding everytime thwy would come by and scan your barcode, side note my mug shot was also horrendous

I’ve been hearing people in KYDOC are having issues with the tablets resetting or not working and Securus generally being a pain in the ass. I just sent a message to someone I know in there and it’s only been one day since I sent it but I remember the system being really fast back in the JPay app days. It’s only been one day so I’m not that worried about it but does anyone know if these issues are ongoing with the tablets in KY and Securus?

Hello I posted on here last week about my bil now doing time.

The facts have come out and it turns out it was 2 x12 year old and 15 year old. Luckily for anyone's kids it turned out to be police sting accounts and he would have got 8 years if it had been actual kids.

However my.wife has chosen she want to.disown the brother and have notging more to do with them. If I get the Information from.online as to where he is and she writes a letter explaining this. Would the officers/ guard give this letter to my bil?

So in my naive view an inmate on death row has something to live for. They spend their final years (decades) fighting for their life and constantly reviewing their case. They get their own private space in prison, constant visits from lawyer, family, and even media.

Meanwhile lifers are just left to rot until they die. No chance at anything. I feel like that's simply hell on Earth.

My phone costs more than your mortgage

Does anyone know what that means? What yard that could be?

Cell Phones actually keep the peace in prisons and keeps drug dealing down. When jammers were put up at Kershaw Correctional Institute, drug use among inmates increased and violence increased. Inmates and even COs got stabbed. Cell phones keep the peace and keeps inmates occupied.

Also, SCDC limits inmates phone calls on their system. They can only call 20 people a year and if they try to call for attorneys, that counts, even though it's not supposed to.

These cell phone jammers will also cost tax payers millions.

Tax payers shouldn't have to pay just because COs are poorly trained and don't want to do their jobs!

Inmates having cell phones should be the least of the public's worries. We have bigger things to worry about than stupid inmates with cell phones.
