My fiance who is currently at USP Leavenworth informed me that when he called my number my cell # was restricted. He has moved twice and this has never happened. He recently moved to the Leavenworth facility in July 2020 and we spoke only twice for 7 minutes each. I have never talked slang, 3 way called, or spoke on anything suspicious, no gambling, nothing that constitutes me being restricted He was told it was a “third party” that did the block. I called my carrier and verified that I have no restrictions. I called three inmate service providers for BOP and it does not show a block. He pays for the calls and has never called me collect. I called the prison and they won’t give me any information as to tell me or him if it was the prison that restricted my number or who the “third party” is. He did today...tell me he took my number off his phone list because it was restricted and added it back...and it is still restricted.This is not supporting the Community Ties. Why would a Warden or someone at Prison do this? Who can I contact to restore my number? And/or will my number be forever restricted? Can someone help please??? Please help me. Thank you!

Sorry but i have zero experience and almost zero knowledge of the federal system. I respectfully suggest you contact the prison yourself and ask. a polite letter often gets a remarkable amount of results. Good luck.

What does it mean if a inmate gets written up?!

Asked by Seth about 5 years ago

That is a disciplinary report. It can be very minor (i.e. you were a dick, don't do it again) or very serious (we are throwing you in the hole and prosecuting you for killing your cellie) or somewhere in between. Most of course are somewhere in between. If found guilty they can result in loss of good time credit which can mean an extended stay in prison, loss of privileges and loss of programs depending on the nature and seriousness of the offense..
