Answer: When your loved one is incarcerated answers to these and other questions can be found by looking at the facility website. Reading the institution website will answer most of your questions. Follow all directions exactly as they are given on the website. If your loved one is moved to a new facility, be sure to look at the new facility website. Each institution is different and has it’s own rules. Many times money services are also different.
