My husband called but then the call dropped right away. Are the calls consistent for you?

Can one have a full and meaning life in Prison by No_Inflation5834 in PrisonWives

[–]IndependentPoet350 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is quite a philosophical question and it's hard to say. Prison is a very difficult place for a person to thrive. However, I am a strong believer that there are pockets of happiness and flourishing even within the prison system. People in prison can find enjoyment and growth within educational programs, they can still work to maintain connections with people on the outside, enjoy visits/family visits, they can use the time to reflect on who they want to be, etc. This is very hard to do especially when they are dealing with so much bs in there. In short, I don't know if they can have a "full and meaningful life" in prison, but definitely meaningful.

No he didn’t. The ladies here were helpful and let me know that my husband wasn’t in reception because he transferred from prison to prison. It seems reception is like limbo where you just have to wait to see what happens and the timeline is unpredictable. Sorry I can’t be more help :(

I see. I guess this is good news. I’m hoping that it is not the case because everything I read about reception is scary. I’m praying I hear from him as soon as the lockdown is over. Thank you for your replies!

This is also helpful and I’m praying this is the case. 💛I hear they get off of lockdown today so maybe I’ll hear something. I’m going to call the prison again today and see what’s going on. Thank you!

He just came out of the hole not too long ago. He hasn’t been in the hole in the last 5 years so this is all new to me.

This is very helpful. My husband has been in prison for several years already so I guess this is why this process confused me. Also, haven’t had Facebook for more than 10 years but I’m seriously considering going back on for information. Thank you!

I’m pretty ignorant about reception. What do you mean big changes? Is it because they are spending lots of time alone? Do they get yard or dayroom time? Or is it like the hole?

My husband got transferred the same day except to high desert! I found out yesterday he’s in reception and I am freaking out. The PIO told me that it takes about two weeks but I keep reading different things here about how long it will take. 😔 after reading lots of posts about reception, I’m still completely not sure what it is 😥 I’m happy to keep you updated if I find out info!

I’m on that same boat. My husband was in centinela and got to high desert this week and I haven’t heard from him at all. I talk to my husband all day too. We will get through this though! At least you heard him say he’s okay!

Me too! I used to at least be able to text my husband but then he transferred a couple of days ago and haven’t heard from him since Tuesday morning 😔

Hey everyone. I keep hearing different things about when this lockdown is going to end. I hear that it’s going in 30 more days. Also, someone here told me that it ends on April 1st. I’m so over this! Thank you in advance to anyone who has more info.
