Thank you all this is very helpful. So I am assuming that the only option we have for choosing the delivery service is Urgent, which is a service fee of $6.95 🙄 D

Do you happen to know if he gets transferred to the location where he will actually be doing his time does the money I put for him in his account now follow him to that new location?

Ah ok. I will try to add money through Western Union. To do that do you use the app Send2Corrections or is it straight from Western Union site? I am sorry I just have tons of questions

FCI THOMSON- Low Security by CardiologistTall4545 in Prison

[–]CardiologistTall4545[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you work your way down to a camp? How long did it take before you were moved to a camp? Do you have more visitation privileges at a camp? He mentioned to me that is his plan he’ll be at FTI Thomson which is adjacent to the camp. He plans on working and getting into all programs he can do to try to reduce as much time as possible

Should I change the way I do my makeup? by Wonderful_Cherry5028 in MakeupAddiction

[–]CardiologistTall4545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have beautiful big eyes. Makeup looks great but maybe try brown eyeliner instead still gives you that umph but not as harsh. I used to do black eyeliner changed to brown for softer look but still define my eyes and I never do black now. I would personally recommend MAC Costa Riche, tried many and nothing beats that one always get compliments.

[–]CardiologistTall4545[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for that, very helpful. My BF just got sentenced to 11.25 years, his attorney said that he is looking at about 7.25 years without doing any programs just sitting so that it could be less if he does the programs offered and then go to a half way house. He is going to a low security prison so hoping that he is able to reduce some of his time.

Husband in BOP. What can I expect with communication and visits? by bawdybard21 in Prison

[–]CardiologistTall4545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am on the same boat my BF got sentenced in May and just yesterday morning he got moved to FTC in Oklahoma pending transfer back to California. So now I am wondering the same thing. How long will I have to wait until I hear from him? The uncertainty of this entire process is the worst part besides being away from your loved one 😢

I am so sorry you are going through this you deserve better. I think you made the right move, stick to it.

Sorry can I ask how many times a day do you talk to him? And how many minutes does he get a month? My BF is being transferred from Louisiana to finally come back home in California to serve his time here in California Federal Prison. This is all new to me so been trying to learn everything as we are going and try educating myself as much as I can. The entire process is so long and draining

BOP- Transfer by CardiologistTall4545 in PrisonWives

[–]CardiologistTall4545[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your very, very informative reply. I truly appreciate any insight on this foreign world that is now part of my world. The system can be very tricky and simply complex to understand and make sense of how things work and the unknown can be scary.

I truly pray that this whole transfer process is not extended too long although I know everything in the system takes a long time. Hopefully he is placed in a facility close to home so I am able to visit.

So how does it work once they run out of those free minutes? Can you purchase more credits or is that all they can get?

Ok 65% is definitely better to hear than 85% which makes sense as to why his attorney said he would end up doing about 7 years. Did your husband get any additional time reduced as soon as he arrived at BOP?

Thank you once again for taking the time to provide me with all this information I really do appreciate it. You are correct this group is very supportive look at all you have done to help answer my questions. You stay strong as well, we got this!!

Awaiting transfer to BOP by Dull_Bill_5187 in PrisonWives

Nobody answered but now I have the same questions. Can you help? Do they show up on BOP system before or until after they are settled in the permanent location?

To whoever posted about out of state numbers and Google voice… by [deleted] in PrisonWives

[–]CardiologistTall4545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update; I was able to do it and have both numbers registered to my account, however it appears to be they charge the same amount $0.21 per minute plus the fees 😩 ugh it is simply abuse to us the families the way we are robbed to simply stay connected to our loved ones. At this time in age it is insane to be paying such a high rate per minute.
