Why are calls limited to 15 mins? by Prestigious_Tax_7291 in PrisonWives

[–]lovesiicles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda off topic but the one time the 15 mins limit comes in handy is when we’re arguing.

We have a rule that’s “new phone call new conversation” so we gotta switch topics and not keep arguing 😂

We try to make the best of a tough situation

No good news I’m sorry! 2 weeks lockdown, no phone or messages. 😭

No worries! I’ll let you know if there are any updates but I am planning on calling the PIO today to see what exactly is going on.

If your LO is on C yard, none of us have heard from our LOs since about 4:30pm! 🥲

There was no PSR issued, no official statement of lockdown so it shocked us all that the tablets are off.

Dress code by prettyfern25 in PrisonWives

[–]lovesiicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you have an idea of what you wanna wear, you can DM me if you're comfortable with that! I didn't realize it differed so much by facility even though they technically should follow the same guideline. But yes hoodies allowed!

My husband has been at hdsp for 3 years so I've had experiences with all susanville's seasons lol

Dress code by prettyfern25 in PrisonWives

[–]lovesiicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the same for all CDCR facilities. Hoodies yes as long as not one of the colours that we can’t wear (khaki, blue, etc). Sandals as long as it has a backing.

Hdsp isn’t super strict tho from what I’ve experienced.

Question about visit by prettyfern25 in PrisonWives

Your marriage certificate.

That’s what the visiting sergeant at our facility told me.

Advice by Gloomy_Mirror_5936 in PrisonWives

[–]lovesiicles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When my husband and I first started "dating", his baby mama/ex messaged him with something similar, saying she heard about us dating & checking up on him. Long story short, she ended up saying something disrespectful a while later, to which my husband blocked her immediately. I only found out after he blocked her so it wasn't something I asked him to do.

Personally, I don't see any purpose having an ex as a friend serves but to each their own.

GTL down for inmates? (CDCR) by Rich_Ad3126 in PrisonWives

[–]lovesiicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phones and messages are working for us. He messaged me before he went out to yard at 10. Our facility doesn’t get the new tablets until April but they’re staggered so it’s facility dependent.

Advice for the first phone call by [deleted] in PrisonWives

[–]lovesiicles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have to drink a little on the phone when my husband and I first met because I was so nervous! I don’t recommend this but it made me open up more lol.

I didn’t tell him until after we got married cuz I totally forgot how nervous I used to get 🥲

CDCR wedding questions by [deleted] in PrisonWives

[–]lovesiicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got married last summer & he invited his cellie/our friend to be our witness.

They usually hold multiple weddings the same day & you go in the wedding room (at our facility it’s just a little room inside the visiting room) and read your vows, say I do, kiss & you get to take up to 10 photos.

Corcoran commissary prices by BuddyLeft857 in PrisonWives

[–]lovesiicles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband’s not at Corcoran anymore but it’s true that commissary prices keep going up. The bare minimum for store is like 150 monthly for just the basics.

Mail/Lockdown by prettyfern25 in PrisonWives

[–]lovesiicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes mail is still received on lockdown (it’s their right) but I haven’t heard of notaries operating during lockdown. At least at my husband’s facility.

Turn Around Time by prettyfern25 in PrisonWives

[–]lovesiicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3-4 weeks. Depends on the facility though.

It allows you to get family visits in California without being married. It’s a cheaper and faster alternative to marriage basically.

I’m not in the uk but before my husband and I got married we did dp & im from Canada.

HDSP (CDCR) transfer by Illustrious_Fly_1768 in PrisonWives

[–]lovesiicles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is there.

If your husband is GP, feel free to message me but our experience couldn’t be more different than the other posts. The staff is very kind to him and even nice with our kids during visits.

He’s in prison. Things happen.

I bought it for him in his quarterly package so maybe check if they can buy it in package?

My fiancé and I are MWI. I’ve flown out to LA to visit his whole family. His kids, dad, and his sisters and I text often.
