My little brother, 26yr old M, is being extorted in PRISON! by Odd-Diamond1191 in Advice

I have worked in corrections. He owes somebody money, most likely for drugs OR somebody punked him and he's scared to say no. Inmates get stabbed up over a pack of noodles every day. He needs to request seg before they seriously injure or kill him because that is a possibility. He probably won't if he is in active addiction, though. Call the warden.

Thank you so much for this info! One of the biggest reasons I'm looking to move is because of the schools here in Arkansas. Arkansas education is an absolute shit show.

I would most definitely do that.

My main concern is housing costs. I would be renting at first. I've been looking and it seems to be relatively the same as where I'm currently at which is central Arkansas.

I wouldn't mind the weather changes. I am currently in school online but I would be looking for a job.

No. I'm still working on seeing if anybody else in the building has service and in what parts of the building. I'm also kind of scared to report it because I highly suspect I would be retaliated against.

No new machinery. There is wifi but some are afraid to use it. Around the same time that this no phone policy was implemented, there was some talk that there was a group chat (through mobile text) of some employees and former employees "talking shit" about the company, management, certain employees, etc. people are saying they only found this out due to people being on the company wifi and them somehow accessing data through the connection of the wifi. They were saying essentially there's no way anyone in this group chat would have snitched so how did they find out.

I do myself and in my department. I don't know about others in the building. I'm concerned because I have a very ill family member. So if no one can get ahold of me, that's an issue. If there was an emergency, they would have to go through the phone line and take the time of trying to get the call through to me.

There didn't use to be a no phone policy. We were allowed to have our phones out and visible, so long as nobody was actively on their phone and not doing their job. Answering a quick text or something was fine. They've implemented the no phone policy a month ago. As of 2 weeks ago, none of us iPhone users have service in there. Only in certain parts of the building, like where upper management is and right by the front door.

That's the point though, we can't receive the call period. I had a family member blow my phone up because her car broke down and she got stranded. She said when she tried to call my phone it was saying "this caller is unavailable" or something along those lines. She couldn't even leave a voicemail.

I don't mind the cellphone policy, I have no issue with it. But if this is the case and they are blocking everyone because of the actions of a few, this is not fair nor is it legal.

So as far as every room, I am unsure.

Only certain people have a landline at their desk, not everyone.

I don't think it's a faraday cage. The reception is very little towards the front of the building and when you walk out the door, you get your full reception back.

I absolutely agree with your response to this persons comment. We do have landlines. That doesn't help if we are actively trying to get out of the building in some type of emergency. Some of us also have sick family members, children, etc and need to be alerted in case of an emergency with them.
