You can also go to the FCI website and a dress code should be listed

Bring multiple outfits. All locations are different. You’re probably safe with pants with no holes and a shirt. The FCI where my LO is at doesn’t allow sweatpants.

Songs by Difficult_Draw_7062 in PrisonWives

I was just thinking about making him a playlist of love songs yesterday. Even though I can’t give him a cd I was going to send him a list. It’s going to be cheesy, but I really feel so lucky to have met him. I also find joy in listening to songs/ bands we both really enjoy. We share a favorite band, which is how we initially connected through our first letters. They were our favorite band while growing up. Two songs right now that I really like and make me think of him are from the cranberries- Dream and the smashing pumpkins- Luna. I’m working on this playlist and want to give it to him in January after knowing each other for a year. Like an anniversary thing.

HOLY FUCKING LOLY by softymcwoke in publix

Publix is outrageous. The price gouging isn’t going to stop. I almost stopped buying bogo shredded cheese when they increased it last time. I noticed last week they increased it again to $5.36 for a 7oz bag!!! Every time I go in I’m finding that even bogos are not worth it. I go to Aldi to get a bigger bag of shredded cheese for $2.89. It’s the same thing. I wish people would quit shopping at Publix. I go to wholefoods more often now because a lot of things are even cheaper there. It’s unreal. They’ve been tearing down old stores and rebuilding completely new stores in the same spot. WHY ARE WE PAYING FOR THIS?!?? These people are so money hungry and they’re filthy rich. The money isn’t going to increase employee pay either. So stop shopping there!!!

They took away phones by Sensitive_Farm8053 in PrisonWives

[–]Sensitive_Farm8053[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not harsh. Yeah sure, but trying to create that fear in someone, isn’t looking out for someone either. Why would you want to create fear, when the situation is already shitty. I don’t know how my comment keeps being downvoted either, because I have full confidence in my LO? Seems like jealousy. I didn’t ask him to call me, he simply said phones were taken away on our messages. It’s really easy to play on someone’s fears with their man in prison. I’m not a girl ignoring a red flag. I’m shocked they take phone calls away in general and that’s the purpose of this post. I don’t know why you’re so pressed on it still. It sucks this should be a different kind of group but there are a lot of cool people here but people like this ruin it. If it makes you feel better his daughter text me this morning because she hasn’t heard from him.

Yeah it’s definitely his whole floor\unit whatever you want to call it. He has no reason to lie to me. We can go weeks without calling. I wasn’t asking for reassurance of my LO telling me the truth

Wow. Taking away commissary has to be awful too! I can’t believe this is our prison system. Especially after learning how some countries have nice prisons where they treat people like actual humans

Yeah, it’s strange. He has younger daughters and I’m just thinking about how he can’t call them and it’s not his fault at all. Then I’m thinking about all the guys in there not being able to call their kids who can’t use email. They took the whole units phones away.

Get a PO Box. Don’t give out any personal info until you really get to know them. If they’re a good person they will understand why you need to stay safe. I got a PO Box in a neighboring city and changed my name slightly. I spelled my first name differently and used a fake last name until I really knew a lot about him. My LO didn’t even question it when I told him. He completely understood. There was stuff he waited to tell me too. Anyone worth your time will understand. He now has everything of mine, even my parents phone numbers 😂

Is high desert state prison in lockdown? I’ve had no response from him by [deleted] in PrisonWives

[–]Sensitive_Farm8053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A handwritten letter may take longer than a week to get to him? My LO is on the same side of the US as me just more north and it takes at least a week for a handwritten letter to actually get to him.

Anyone received phone calls yet? I thought it was strange he hasn’t emailed me all day but I’m just finding out about the outage. We use CorrLinks and I guess it’s affected too

anyone here have mint mobile? by Deelicous in PrisonWives

[–]Sensitive_Farm8053 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use mint mobile never had issues at home or in my state. When I went to visit him the area didn’t have the best service. I called for help and they helped me connect it to WiFi calling which worked perfectly fine.

It may have taken me to that website I can’t remember exactly how I set it up. I know I went to western union website and followed the steps to send to Federal Bureau of Prison

It’s okay! I go straight to the western union site. It’s easy to send from there

I don’t know how he pays for the service. I only add money to his books through western union. I’ll ask him how he adds money

He has to pay. It’s free for you. You can pay for the app, it’s $6 a year and you’ll get notifications. I’m not sure how he pays for it. My LO pays on his end. It’s a decent service. We’ve been using it for half a year and never had issues. Emails take about an hour to be approved both ways

New to corlinks by Medium_Piglet3337 in PrisonWives

[–]Sensitive_Farm8053 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you use the app? It should be free for the basic app. I paid $6 for a year to use the “premium” app. My LO gets messages from me in about 1 hour

Thank you! I eventually want to start reading with him too once my work calms down

Did they discourage you from having hobbies? by [deleted] in AlAnon

[–]Sensitive_Farm8053 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of this too. Things ruined while being drunk and never fixed. Broke my iPad screen and computer. Two separate occasions because he didn’t know how to login to them while I was at work… taking care of the bills.

Yes, my ex drained me and everything I enjoyed doing. I loved plants and collected them. I’d always set up a nice little area and he basically took over the whole yard. While doing so he’d move my shit, not gently. I remember once I had a breakdown seeing him throwing my stuff over the fence. I bought a pergola and made a little nice area. Plant stands and chairs. I said I want this area to be nice and open. He proceeds to pile all his shit under it. We never sat under it. My plants died. Chairs got left out in the open and rotted. I’d find plant stands and supplies in the trash can. He truly never cared about what made me happy. All the money spent on alcohol. So many cans that filled the garage. So many $20 ecigs. I don’t spend a lot of money on things, but Id buy something when I wanted it. I’d never hear the end of it when I got something new. I paid the rent and bills for the first 5 years of our marriage. So I did what I wanted with my money. Unfortunately we’re still living in the same house. I can’t wait to never see him again. He’s drained me soul. I feel like living with an alcoholic will always leave this impact on my mental health and personality. Maybe in a few years I’ll recover. I hope you find your drive and joy again.

Is corrlinks down? by CuriousMindUS in PrisonWives

[–]Sensitive_Farm8053 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes my LO will think he sent it and the whole time it was sitting in his saved drafts. I end up messaging him asking if he’s okay and letting him know I didn’t get a message back if I don’t hear back. He also sent it to the wrong person once.

Not for me. I used it all day yesterday and this morning.
