I've never been to prison. However, I see in any true crime documentary comment section.
Always "its not that bad they get tablets "
I mean people tell me.... because I genuinely don't know if these people just don't know what they're talking about.
However, my cousin tells me its horrible and she is barely holding it together.
Any insight would be helpful.
How much time will I do
My abuser/pos babydaddy/ex is currently serving a 19yr federal sentence for trying to light a homemade bomb that he had forcefully attached to his girlfriend at the time. She had ran i guess into a treasury building during a domestic violence incident between the 2 of them and was trying to get away from him and get help but he proceeded to beat her in the back of the head and pull her back out of the building, tackle her to the ground and then attempted to light this homemade explosive device he had put on her. Thankfully he wasnt successful and he took off on foot (later captured) but his actions caused the treasury building to have to be evacuated and essentially he was charged with trying to blow up a federal building. Ive heard that he is not having a good time in prison🙄🤦♀️. I dont know how prison politics work but the pictures are of part of a letter he wrote about whats been going on. Hes currently at usp big sandy and i know the reputation that facility has. I guess my question is how royally fucked is he really? 😅🤷🏼♀️ from what little understanding I have (which is minimal bc ive never been to prison)....its not looking too good for him rn. Especially to still have 15yrs or so left. I dont necessarily ever wish any real harm on anybody, but imo karma is just doing her thing and the universe is settling the score 💯 👌 this dude wasnt a good dude (obviously). He terrorized and abused me for 7yrs, im lucky to have made it out alive truthfully and he went on to obviously continue abusing women after me and being violent, which landed him in the situation hes currently in. It sounds to me like hes dug himself a pretty deep & miserable hole though. Can anybody whos done fed time offer any insight/your opinion on his current circumstances? 🤔
I am writing this I guess to vent. Some background - Son 26 yrs old, white colar crime, sentenced 37 months in December. I never had any type of legal issues with him until now. When he was in Pre-trial release he got a DUI and a marijuana charge (his GF) had marijuana on her, but he was not smoking at all. He was arrested 6 months b4 sentencing. Because of his violations he received a longer sentence. He was sent to one of the best Federal Camps and 2 months in he got into a fight over money. (trying to be street smart, but he knows nothing about that life just whatever he's learned in Prison). Now he's sitting in a transfer facility being sent to a low. FSA credits were taken away. He is in a bad relationship and as been disrespectful to me cuzzed me out because I do not want to have a relationship with his GF and he gets his anger out on me when she blocks him. She plays mind games and is very toxic. She is living off his credit cards which he allowed her to. I have helped him since day 1 and he has become someone I do not know anymore. I am to the point where if he continues to mess up and chooses the life of being locked up I do not want him to be part of my life. I guess I want advise from other people that have been part of the system and you are now a changed person. I don't mean to be rude, but I do not want to be part of my son's life if he chooses to be a criminal. I have a young son and I do not want his brother to be an influense in his life and to be honest it's embarrasing and disapointing. We have no family members that have ever been in prison. He is the first one. He went to college too. No drug addiction. Just continues to make bad choices.
Planning on violating my pb today . Would I be a good prospect for fdcc Springfield? Or butner nc ?
Pennsylvania is hiring 18-year-olds as prison guards. The women living there are sounding the alarm.
"Several months ago, a group of women gathered in the common room of our maximum security prison. They were loud and rowdy. A young officer trainee instructed the women to quiet down, according to women who witnessed the incident. But the women responded with derisive laughter and snide remarks. In response, the trainee lost his temper and yelled: “This is my common room: I own these tables, I own these chairs, and I own all of you!”
Some women who observed the incident said a more senior officer who was present did not intervene.
The explosive scene was indicative of a larger shift underway at the State Correctional Institution at Muncy, in Pennsylvania.
In an effort to fill staff vacancies, the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections has joined other state systems in recruiting younger officers. But the influx of young hires — some as young as 18 — has led to some growing pains for both officers and incarcerated women at SCI Muncy."
Ok, I have a question and it’s sad I feel like I have to post on Reddit to figure this fucking shit out.
Super long I’m so sorry but I need advice from people experienced with how these dynamics for locked up females go.
My dude (it’s been a complicated 2 years but we are legit) has a “friend” in prison. I’m a jealous girl, I don’t normally date dudes that have been as involved with females as he has and it’s been hard. So I saw some letters from this chick and I won’t go into why I thought I needed to open them but there’s kinda been a lot of things leading up to that had me suspicious. Honestly I didn’t think they were still communicating. So I carefully opened one….
She’s talking to him like she’s getting released to his place and she says she loves him, she closed with, “your wifey”, she thanked him for the money he sent her, she told him how much she can’t wait to get her pussy ate and ya know the shit you’d write a dude that’s holding shit down for you when you’re locked up.
So naturally I was very fucking unhappy. I told him if I’m the stand in to just let me know and we can figure out whatever cuz I fucking love this dude and his dog. But I also don’t want to impede on some other chicks established shit ya know.
He still professes he loves me and wants me and she is delusional and he just doesn’t tell her anything to the contrary.
I told him to shut that shit down then, don’t let some chick think you’re her dude and all this shit if ur not.
But there’s just so much that doesn’t fucking add up and I want to believe him SO BAD but I still think I’m just the girl for now and per usual she has to accept it . Cuz she got 8 years in 2023 and was locked up before that for some time so she hasn’t had a lot of time out as an adult I guess.
How do I find out the truth? I thought about writing her but I’m not a meddler usually this looking at his private letters was crazy and I know it was wrong but ….. something seems not right but he makes sense and then it also doesn’t all add up.
Anyone have any advice for me?? I’m not super versed in lock up but I’ve known some people that have been so I’m not naive and I also know he had some other chick thinking she was coming home to him, cuz I was there (as his friend) when he opened the door and she was there, nobody knew shit. He’s just strange with chicks but since we’ve become legit, he has stopped keeping most of the girls in hos life that I know of. He’s putting in effort for me and I’m with him almost all the time. I still don’t know cuz I also have little self worth and …. Anyway please pass along some advice if you have it and please be nice to me and don’t tell me I’m stupid for staying with him …. A big part of me tells me to walk away but I guess I’m scared cuz I have nobody. If I need anything and just to know someone cares , it means something.
Come on, it must have happened somewhere. I’d love to know if someone ever did this.
He basically admitted he was doing drugs in there because he kept asking for money and we had a heated discussion except he won’t tell me what drug it is (because it’s recorded) he said he gets it from two different people and they give him the same thing but “different flavor” whatever that means. He said $50 can last a day or one persons can last 2-3 days
Any idea? Obviously I’m not gonna keep giving him money I’m jw what it could be though??
Michigan prison btw
Also how much do get paid for working ?
Some of the funniest people on the planet go to prison, let’s hear their stories!
I was thinking about the show Orange is the New Black and remembered how the main character was in prison because her old lover snitched on her about something they did in their past, and her and the old lover both ended up in the same prison. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this trope in other film/tv before too.
It seems very unrealistic to me. I’d assume this is something they would obviously not allow to happen in real life prisons. It’s so obvious that this is something that should never happen, to the point that this feels like a dumb question. But then again I know that the prison system often does not prioritize the safety of the inmates over convenience or profit.
So, in real life, do they really sometimes put the snitch and the person they snitched on in the same prison?
ps. I’m *not talking about when they put a snitch in the same room as another inmate to get a confession. I’m talking about after both have been convicted and incarcerated (tho the snitch probably has a reduced sentence due to snitching?), and they know from the trial it was that person who snitched on them.
Hi everyone!
I have a question and am wondering if anyone will be able to answer it. My husband was sentenced to four years, at half time, it is his first time and he is considered non violent. We are in California. He is currently at wasco reception center and he has been there just over a month now. Yesterday, he called me and told me that he seen his name on a list for transport next week and they have told him to pack it up. He said he seen his name on a list for chino prison. I am wondering if he is going there to permanently stay or are they finishing his reception process there? He is disabled from an old car accident and he has been in a medical pod at wasco during his whole stay. They told him he would be at wasco for 60 days, so I am just confused if chino will be his main prison or if he will finish reception there and then go to a different prison. Sorry for any confusion, this is all new to us. Any information will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!
Hi everyone,
I’m not here to promote anything, let that be clear.
As a company that built a technology specifically helping the execution of tasks between inside and outside we are searching for people that are living it or have lived it being a family with someone close inside to function as our advisory board.
I’ve been inside myself but of course my experience only doesn’t tell all the pain points that families are dealing with.
I don’t want to promote anything here but if you are interested to know more I’m happy to share.
Again, I am not selling anything
Has anyone automated GTL Getting Out messaging, or found a way to make it not feel like a second job?
I have a friend who is incarcerated and we keep in touch through the GTL Getting Out app. The app is genuinely awful and because it lives completely separately from my regular texts, I constantly forget to check it. Not because I don’t care, just because it’s not where my brain goes when I want to send a message to someone.
I’ve been going down a rabbit hole trying to figure out if I could build something that logs into the GTL web portal on a schedule, grabs any new messages from him, and forwards them to my phone as an actual text. Then when I reply to that text, it sends my reply back through GTL automatically. Basically a middleman that makes it feel like a normal conversation without me having to remember to open a separate app.
I have no idea if this has actually been done before, if GTL would detect it and nuke my account, or if the web portal even works the same as the app for all facilities. I also don’t know if there’s some totally obvious solution I’m missing that people in this situation have already figured out.
Has anyone dealt with this? Would love to hear what actually worked, what blew up in your face, or whether the bot idea is smart or a disaster waiting to happen.
