U said to send a letter to corrections if I don't have an oral appointment in 60 days, but how if were not suppose to contact them?

Asked by Beautydiamond47@gmail.com over 9 years ago

I'm sorry, when you wrote and said you weren't supposed to CALL I thought you meant you were not suppose to CALL. If what you really meant is you are not supposed to contact them in any fashion then probably you should not contact them.

Asked by Skyechick30@yahoo.com over 8 years ago

Sorry, but I am unfamiliar with that term. Therefore I can't help you. His counselor should be able to tell you what is going on, or at least tell him and he can tell you. Sorry.

I expect I'll be going to CDCR academy at Sacramento, CA for Donovan. Any idea what that's like these days? Are there like day passes or anything or well I be strictly confined to the academy?

Asked by StalwartHero over 9 years ago

It has been a LONG WHILE since I was there but the last time I was cadets were free to leave the academy after hours and on weekends. If the classes are large enough some trainees used to be housed off-grounds in motels but that was mostly advanced trainees, like basic supervisors academy and advanced training, not rookie officers.

Why are some inmates not eligible for gain time and programs even though they are well behave, could this be just pure discrimination or there's a "law" behind it?

Asked by Lily from FL over 8 years ago

In the California system, which is the only one I am truly familiar with, the ability to gain or not gain good time credit is a matter of law.

I have been trying to get information on the structured living program for inmates can you give me any info on what it is and how it benefits the inmate

Asked by Mrs.Thompson over 9 years ago

Sorry but no, I can't. I have been out of the system for 12 years now and I have zero information on it. I am GUESSING that it is a halfway-house type environment for prisoners who are nearly at their release date or who are in fact out on some form of supervised conditional release, but that is only an educated guess.

Can a correctional officer and a felon be at a family function together at the same time, or should one of them not be there? Or does it depend on what the person was convicted for?

Asked by Sarah about 9 years ago

Assuming you are all in the same family it should not be a problem, at least in CA. If the former felon was no longer on probation/parole it would not be a problem in any case. In CA staff are required to report family members and close friends who are under the control of the department, as long as that was done it should not be a difficulty.
