Please, someone help me A.S.A.P. my husband’s mother is very ill I need to get a hold of him, he is in Ad-Seg. All I was told was to call his counselor, his dad and I have been calling and he never picked up. How can I get a hold of him? Is there a number I can call for emergencies? Also, I read a post on “Prison Talk” stating if he had no money in his books he couldn’t make the call because it has to be a collect call? Is this true? Any information, please, so I can… Read more »

I have a pen pal that was at North Kern Valley and just got transferred on 10/13 to Kern Valley…literally across the street.
My question is, will they forward him my mail? It’s the same address, just a different P.O. Box #. I assume he will keep the same Cdc # since it looks like it’s all in the same system. Or would they return my letters? And how long does this process take…forwarding mail (if they do it) or returning it to me…which seems silly, he got moved across the street to the same address.
Thank You.

I ask because as of 10/11 he hasn’t received two of my letters that contain a lot of pictures and I would be very upset if they were lost in the system. I would think they could forward his mail since he got transferred across the street, or at least returned to me. And why hasn’t he received these letters yet? I sent them almost 2 weeks ago? It seems like my letters take up to a month to get to him and his letters get to me in 3 days? And we live in the same state??? Would really… Read more »

Hi Angela,
Your pen pal should eventually receive the mail, although he was transferred to another prison. Prisons are notorious for poor administration of inmate’s mail. If he does not receive it, he should file a request about the missing mail.
