As far as I know we dont currently have any active members with someone there. We have all had one there at one time or another so we may still be able to answer questions you might have

One of my really good friends boyfried is on his way up there in the next few weeks, but not up there yet.

hello i do my husbAND IS

my husband should be transported from ISCI on Aug 25th to Cottonwood.

Our son has been at Cottonwood for a couple of weeks now. We have only heard from his once. Any information on how things are for the guys there? Any idea on whether they can get to a phone after the first couple of weeks?

Our thoughts and prayers are there for everyone with a loved one who is locked-up and also for those guys and gals who are doing time.

i have heard that in cottonwood they are not allowed to make a phone call for about 2 weeks. my man and i are hoping he leaves this coming monday so he can get done sooner.

well they didnt transport him to cottonwood until october 6th 2009

They are allowed to call to arrange for housing. Two calls I believe. After two weeks they are allowed to use tokens for one hour each. The phones there are collect for half hour blocks. Less than four dollars for each block. Phone cards may be purchased on Commissary.

Any chance of anyone knowing if there are improvements in any means since 2004/2005. There were some political issues of lack of support for those leaving NICI which councelors where working hard on to have Ada County support the efforts of but I've not seen this happen. Plus not they NICI has apparently A & B New Directions (A is 16 hrs per week verses B is 8 hrs per week of classes) - other than this is there anyone aware of anyother changes in behalf of inmates?
