Why do prisoners in certain states get conjugal visits and the others do not?

prisons have existed since the advent of slavery.

Not fun...Texas is one of the harsher states in which to do time... you cannot have visits from anyone except immediate family, one phone call per month max is allowed, for most it is one call every 90 days, if calls are permitted at all, mail is heavily censored, the food is some of the worst in the nation (to the point that every few years the Federal courts step in to make them follow the law regarding food) and they have little in the way of educational or rehabilitative programs, so you're really just doing time, not improving your odds of staying out of trouble after release.\nI do not recommend serving a sentence in the lone star state.

If another state has a warrant on a subject it is entered into a "national database". When that persons name is ran it will come up that he has a warrant in a different state. When that agency decides they are willing to extradite that person (come get him) he is automatically held in jail until that agency comes and gets him and then will be transported to the state that has the active warrant to face those charges. It is almost impossible to serve warrants out of state. If they do not decide to come get him then that person usually is not detained unless the agency that pulls them over has charges on him. In the case that they do not come get him the warrant will remain active and if he ever goes back to Texas, he better be sure he isnt pulled over because if he is then he will go to jail. Sometimes it is not cost efficient to go get the individual, especially when they will have to pay to have him come back to TX. However, until he answers to those charges, the warrant will remain active.

Actually the answer to your question is yes and no.....\nWhen the initial paperwork is issued for an inmate that wants to receive visits....all personal information is ran through the state and federal government to see if the person who will visit has any felony charges..past or present.....\nOnce the paperwork has been completed by the institution and a paper is sent to you letting you know whter or not you are able to visit another background check will not be completed ...unless the prison deems it necessary...normally if all rules and regualtions are followed during the visitation...you will not have to worry about the officers at the institute bothering you....or any further paperwork that will have to be completed....\n\nSo basically, no the prison will not check after the initial paperwork to see if you have a warrant for your arrest....

I have known a couple that have been sent to prision,  they are determikned as to male or female by thier birth certificate and how they are determined.\n\nBut even in prison, they are keep in lock down, protective custody and will not be ever in general population.\n\nThe one "gentlemen" I knew was in there for a simple drug crime but was doing his 5 years in complete lock down.

No, inmates do not haveit soft within the prison walls.\nTo anyone who says differently, I'd like to know What prison have you been visiting? I'd like to arrange for a cherished friend to be transferred there! The top notch medical/dental care I'm always hearing about would be nice!He had a small cavity in one tooth and the answer was to pull the tooth, he needs to see a doctor to renew a prescription for a chronic condition (no, it's not a drug with any recreational potential, it's Prilosec) but can't see the doc because he is not bleeding, and when he does get that script renewed, he'll be paying for it or rather either his mom or I will be doing so. The situation has gotten so bad with prison health care that a federal judge recently ordered the whole department into recievership.\nComfortable bed? HA! Try a lumpy 1 inch thick pad on a stainless steel shelf... cozy, huh?\nHe shares a 6 x 12 cell with one other man, and counts himself lucky that there are not 3 in that cell due to the amazingly overcrowded state of the facility, he gets to leave that cell about 4 hours a day, including shower, chow, dayroom and yard time... and THAT is when the facility is not on lockdown due to drastic understaffing, courtesy of a hiring freeze imposed by the Governor...on lockdown, it really is in the cell, 24/7, food passed through the door, etc the only thing that keeps going is the mail (and by the way, I send him paper,envelopes and postage, unless it is a letter to one's attorney of record AND there is no money on one's books, the prison does not pay for letters)....the educational programs, IF an inmate qualifies AND if there is a slot available in the class.....and surely you see the need to try to educate these people to improve the chances of their becoming productive citizens upon release?\nThe showers are hot and reasonably clean, but inmates buy their own soap, shampoo, toothpaste, etc.\nThe food is a joke, and is barely legal in quantity and quality... most inmates get VERY creative with the top ramen that is available at the commisary...\nWhat Gym/weight room are you talking about? My friend does an aerobic routine in his cell each morning and spends about half his time in the yard running his usual 3 to 5 miles, but there's no equipment available...I'm not complaining about that, but I'd like to know where you get your information.\n\nAs to other recreational activities, if there are video games, it has not been mentioned to me... Television in the day room where what to watch is decided by vote...any TVs or radios in the cells were not provided by the state, either the inmate or someone like me purchased them and like quarterly packages and phone calls (collect and incredibly costly) they are a privilige that is EARNED... Surely you can see the value of rewarding good behavior?\n\nBy the way, my friend is what they call a model inmate, he has had no disiplinary problems inside.\nI could go on and on, but I really want to know what prison all these stereotypes of fun and games are based on, because it sure as hell is not in California!

Laws bind within the territory.  Laws from one place do not attach to the person when the person leaves the jurisdiction.\n\nThere are some obvious exceptions, for example, when one state recognizes the jurisdiction and acts of another, like marriage.

call booking and give them name birth date and day of arrest if you know it. they will give you visitor schedule and requirements  and location of prisoner.

The problem is much more complex and can't be solved by putting more people in prison.  Factors that determine when a person is released: Prison overcrowding, sentencing guidelines, parole board or special review board decisions, etc.  None of these factors can be controlled by a psychiatrists or parole officer, and rarely do psychiatrists or parole officers have a say in the matter.  What your fail to mention is all the successful releases, don't let a few bad apples paint a negative picture of the process as a whole.

in some cases they do get married to the women, but that is few and far between. in most they get the women pregnant and leave them there. it's sad because alot of times i heard that the people in the country treat the children of these soldiers as second class citizens.

Do all states have an equal number of recruits?\nanswer this and you got yer final answer.\n\nAlso different states have different numbers of bases, and not all military bases do the same thing.  troops are sent to fill a need, and if they are not needed, they are not sent. simple as that.

The other state need only show that there is a fair probability that you have committed a crime in another jurisdiction and you will be extradited.\n\nThis is a very low burden of proof, so unless you can show that you are the subject of a mistaken identification, you will eventually be extradited.

Because many states have their own formed (whether by them, or by visitors) notions of customs and behaviors.\n\nFor instance...you say you're from California.  To someone wanting to meet someone that might have some flash, and maybe some cash, those 'stereotypes' make a California woman appealing to them.\n\nMy state, Oklahoma, might make someone fancy a down home, country girl, etc. \n\nKnow what I mean?

Different laws for different states.

This is different with different prisoners in different prisons in different states. No easy answers here, but my brother-in-law(a prison guard) used to say the recreation privileges(TV, books, weight lifting) they received was the only way to control and keep guards safer.  He also said there were those who shouldn't have been there although we'd like to believe our justice system is fair. He was especially concerned with the younger prisoners. You might try searching the internet for a local prison and see what information you can find-there's usually lots! \n\nFor instance try "federal prison privilege".

The two prior answers are correct.  Also, even if there is an treaty on the exchange of prisoners, both the local courts and a court in the US have to agree to the transfer.  Often one or the other will refuse.\n\nAlso, please remember that US embassies have NO power over the laws of other countries.  We can serve as go-betweens, but cannot order or control such a transfer.

Let me get this straight.  You married a sex offender who committed some offense against you.  You had three children with him.  Now he is arrested (for the offense against you?), and supposed to get treatment before he can see his children.  Your children.  Now, are you saying he has not gone to the treatment, and is therefore not allowed to see his children?  Your children?\n\nI suppose you may feel shafted, but it sure sounds to me like you were at least as much a volunteer as a victim.  I think you'd better have a long talk with the counselor you were undoubtedly assigned when all this came up in court.
