There are several in the Little Rock area that I am aware of, but funding is tight so they change every few years.  I had a friend in one in West Central Little Rock, but I am not sure of the name.  Contact the parole department and they can probably help you (Blue pages).  If the parolee does not have a place to parole to, they will probably force him (or her) to go into a halfway house anyway rather than keep them locked up.  I hope this helps, I have a lot of friends in the ADC and have been through this before.  Good Luck!

I have a very strong viewpoint on what prisonsers should and should not have available to them.  I my opinion, prisoners should have NOTHING other than the bare necessities.  They are in prison for a reason - they broke laws.  Why should they be given opportunities that the rest of us have to work hard to get?  They are not paying mortgages or rent, food or utility bills, and do not have to worry about commuting to work every day and paying the extrordinary amount we all have to pay for gas these days. Yet they are fed 3 meals a day, have television and a library, are allowed to work out, study and get college degrees and not pay a cent for any of it, except their freedom !!!  \n\nI worked in criminal court for over 15 years and many times when a defendant was sentenced to the mid-term sentence, they requested longer and stated that it is easier for them in prison than in the real world where they can't find jobs, don't have enough money to live, and have other stresses.\n\nI think that prisons should be a punishment, not a reward!

I would tell the inmate:\n\nYour parole officer should have some tips.  There are plenty of people who don't want you in prison rely on them and not on those who could care less. \n\nJust from a practical standpoint I don't want you in prison because you cost me money every day you are there.  Get out, get a job and earn your keep.  After all that is what you want to do anyway.  Sooner than you know it you will not have to check in with anyone and be a free man again.

I am not sure, but I don't think they can if you aren't getting anymore income.  Call a social service agency or legal aid, someone there can probably tell you.  Don't call the housing agency, they may not be upfront about everything.  I do know that in Indiana you can't keep housing assistance if you are convicted of a drug related felony.  Good luck.

People on aid can get cash, food stamps, medical, and housing help. The amount of cash and food stamps all depends on thwe amount of dependents they have.\nIt should be monitored how long they stay on aid. It should be just until they get on thier feet and not be years.

By "paying", do you mean restitution?  If that's it, then most people who are incarcerated and have to pay restitution, do so after they get out.  The time that they get is repayment for breaking a criminal law.  The payment, if it's restitution, is the civil part to make the victim "whole" again.  Unfortunately, in this country, the criminal justice system has a way of only looking out for itself.  So, in the end, you may have to keep up with when the offender is released and then go after them in civil court.  The down side to this is that most newly released offenders who spent considerable time, either disappear or else never amount to anything afterwards which would keep you from collecting a penny.  Good Luck!

Not if your on hold for a parole violation.  They can keep you until you go back to court and they decide if your going to have your parole revoked and have to go back and serve the remainder of you original sentence.

If someone is accused of a crime no they do not receive any type of restitution since they are only being accused. \nIf someone is incarcerated for any real length of time they  sometimes receive a little something  for their lost time. Its more like a payoff so the person wont try and sue the city for false imprisonment or being wrongly accused.

Contact the prison that they are staying in and find out what is allowable for the inmates at that facility.  You can also send money to their inmate account for use.

in some cases yes. there are some people who are not able to be released because they are a threat to society and will reoffend. do you think it's right that we have thousands upon thousands of people locked up for the rest of their lives who the tax payers pay astronomical figures to support ? I don't !!! they don't have a great quality of life in prison and the taxpayers money could be much better spent. would you work a job and support an inmate for the rest of his life if you didn't have to. I mean the government doesn't give us a choice we support them with our tax dollars but would you actually just send your money to support these guys if you didn't have to. I bet you have  much more worth while causes to support. I would much rather feed a hungry child than a child murderer.

I thought jail was supposed to rehabilitate them.\n\nHonestly I'd say it would depend on the crime. (You reminded me of a question I had over the weekend). \n\nI'd like the be compensated or at least have him pay in a more tangible way than being in jail where s/he has an all-expenses paid "trip".

The government has put restrictions on the amount of time you can recieve welfare, they have also required training in exchange. They are paying  for GED's and other programs. It's called welfare-to-work. There are only few exceptions to this rule and they all have to do with diabled parents who can't work. Our government is trying. If they sent them out to clean up highways, what would the prisoners in county jail do to earn there 75 cents a day?

Welfare is a system that helps the "needy" with food, clothes, housing, and taxes.
