I asked this in the CDCR what you need to know section and then thought about it and thought maybe I would do better to ask here. We just found out that Paul will be going to a halway house instead of coming home to me. Does he get to come home first and then go to the halfway house or do they pick them up at the prison? How long till he can get passes to see me/come home for periods of time? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

The same thing is happening to my husband. He was able to tell me what program he was going too so I called the local facility and asked them all those questions. See if you can find out which one and give them a call. Good luck.

Christina! S**t what next? I know I know, he's closer than he was, but still...!

It depends on bed space availability, and whether there's a wait list to get into the T-House.
Most T-Houses don't have "blackout periods". If it's a rehab and not just a "clean and sober environment", there is likely a 30 day "blackout period"; wher ethere's no visitsa, letters, or phone calls (with exceptions being made for critical need).
The PO could impose a "blackout" on your being able to visit him; but probably won't unless you are viewed as part of his problem.

From what he said its just a halfway house, not a rehab or clean and sober living environment. Thanks...I am going to PM you.
