Ask one of them..."If i were to ask your brother which road led to freedom which way would he tell me to go?"\n\nThen you go the other way\n\nIf u ask the one who always tells the truth then he would tell you that his brother would tell you to go down this road and it would lead to freedom...but b/c he lies the road would actually lead back to prison\n\nIf you asked the one that always lies then he would tell you the opposite of what the other guy would say...so he would tell you the road that would lead to the prison\n\n~So which ever way they tell you will lead to prison...so go the other way! lol

Petition the courts to seal or expunge your record, if your crime was non-violent and you have stayed out of trouble for all this time, the judge should agree.\nBut I have to ask what jobs you're applying for that ask you to disclose criminal history more than the usual 5 or 7 years old. Perhaps you should be looking for work in less "security oriented" fields.\nAnd have you registered with your local job service? They can take your history into account when matching you with potential employers, so at least you won't be wasting time with interviews that won't yield results.\nFor more feedback, I suggest you visit http://www.prisontalk.com

Good god.   I have never seen so many "probably," "maybe," or "most likely" answers in one place in awhile.\n\nMy husband has been in federal prison for 26 years so please allow me to shed some authenticity on the subject.    The convictions on specific crimes do determine where they start out, such as a U.S. Penitentiary, like Leavenworth.  \n\nBut over time, some can wind up at a Medium or a Minimum.   IF they live long enough, they can be released to a camp before going home.    Camp is still a controlled environment.\n\nYou were not give accurate descriptions at all of the various levels, including the Wikipedia response.   \n\nMy husband was convicted on less than four ounces of cocaine, and got 41 years, thanks to RICO back in the 80's.  Due to his age and health, he  is currently at a Minimum.   He has been in prisons in Kansas, Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky and Florida.   Go figure.   He is currently 700 miles away from any family, one way.   He is 65 years old, with health problems, and has been thoroughly screwed over by the parole board (long story).    We have been trying to get THAT straightened out for four years now.   \n\nMinimums are not Cupcake Facilities.   Minimums are enclosed by razor wire, they are patrolled internally and externally, and the guys are told when to get up, when to eat, when they can go outside, when they have to come inside, when they have to go to bed.    Visitors have to be on a list, and go through metal detectors, and at least three interior doors to get to the visiting room. \n\nThere is one doctor for the 2000 men at his facility.   I knew a young man that got gangraped and died from his injuries there, and an elderly diabetic who died in his wheelchair outside the med unit waiting for help.    Miniums are no picnic.   \n\nUnlike TV shows (I Hate Prison Break!), the guys do not discuss their crimes.    Child molesters keep their mouths shut, and gangsta wannabees brag to enhance their reputation.   You can't believe anything the inmates tell you, period, so no one really knows what anyone is in there for, unless it makes the news.   \n\n If you check out my husband's web site, you will see that he was not a white-collar criminal, as someone else stated.  There are white-collar criminals there, like income tax evasion or embezzling, but I would guestimate that 90% of the inmates in federal prison are there on drug-related charges (thanks to our politicians and their "get tough on crime" mandatory minimums  - 5 years for one joint).  \n\nThere are a lot of men and women who have no business in prison, but the power to decide cases on individual points has been taken away from judges, by the politicians and their laws.    Those laws always impress voters, until someone in their family gets in trouble.   Then they find out that once those doors slam, that's it.   The kid who died after being gang-raped was only in there for a three-year drug sentence, not a death sentence.   I met his parents and they will never get over it.\n\nThere are Cupcake prisons, for Martha and the politicians, but regular folks will never see one of those.  \n\nFor the most part, the documentaries you see on PBS are more accurate about current prison life, in any of the prisons.   Prison is hell on earth, with camp being Purgatory.   They are not intended to rehab, but are warehouses, to keep the "bad" people away from the "good" people.    \n\nHope this gives you more accurate info.

The best solution is for you to find a safe place to go and get there!  He needs counseling and a little jail time.

The sheriff there would not allow it be given to a prisoner.  They are very restrictive there and have most amenities denied while they are incarcerated.  Prisoners are denied any special favors.  I'd suggest you hang on to that magazine until the individual gets released.

I don't know how to get out....

Huh....you sure you're in love?  It's going to be tough being alone while he serves time...and he seems aware of that fact.  That's a big sacrifice--waiting for him I mean.  If you chose that route--best of luck to you.  But even if you don't decide to wait it out--you could still be supportive by communicating with him while he's incarcerated.  Life with a convicted felon is not going to be easy after he serves time either--and your options will be limited because of it.  Just be aware of the sacrifices required to remain with this person.  It sounds like you'll have lots of time to make up your mind.  Find a support group that can assist you.  Good Luck

if there is grounds for appeal then you can probably find a law firm that will take his case pro bono.\n\nif he's guilty beyond the shadow of a doubt but you feel he is reformed you can appeal to the governor for clemency.  but from what i hear there are an awful lot of non-violent offenders serving very long prison sentences in the united states.  and that is a problem for your justice system and taxpayers to ask how long they will support the building of more corporate prisons and the passing of laws to create more prisons.

not neccessarilly.  a half-way house is for people that are 1/2 way between home and going to prison.  it's a place where individuals are given a chance to start a new beginning as well as  change the behavior that has gotten them into trouble and hurt others.  it's not always for cons getting out of prison either.  it's for anyone, but usually ordered by the department of corrections/ court services.

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.

Call your parole officer.\n\nTurning for your parole maintenance advice to Yahoo Answers is like just willfully gambling with completing the rest of your stretch in the Maryland correctional system.\n\nThis is too important to play games with.  Call your P.O.  Seriously.\n\nGood luck and stay free.

If you don't have friends or family members in this prison I would highly recommend that you do not locate this prison and do not contact anyone from the inside...my sister did this once and had a correspondence with an inmate and was conned out of hundreds of dollars for this person's commissary....please don't get mixed up into that....you'll regret it...that's why they call them CONS !!!!
