Hi. Once again I turn to you guys for help! Here is the situation....my son is in jail. He is 18. My 23 year old daughter visits him weekly. It seems that during a few of these visits, another inmate has seen my daughter and would like to get to know her. She has a boyfriend and is not interested in anyone else . This man is the "head honcho" on the range. He is the one everyone "fears". You get my point. Anyway, he has asked my son numerous times to call his sister & put this man on the phone with her. My son has said no. At this point my son can't even call home because I have to prepay for the calls and I can't pay again until next week and the calls are up. Now my question is...do you think this man will start trouble with my son if he continues to tell him no? I am sort of worried about this . My son doesn't seem to be, but he is 18 and very naive. Am I worrying for nothing? This is a county jail by the way. But..my son is on the "felon range", if this makes a difference. Thoughts anyone? Thanks in advance!

Hi Joyce
I would recomend that you go to the sheriff, and explain what is going on. If that dosn't do any good then go to a judge and get some advice.
Hope this helps some

mmmm......a trick my older son used when he didn't want his sister involved with certain guys, was to say either she was "gay" or " a total b****" - maybe something along those lines might help? - Let's us know how he handles this.

How does he know if it is the girl the guy is interested in and not just exerting a power play over the kid?

good question VNVDVC.

Joyce:

Call the Superintendant of the Unit.... Tell him what is happening.... Yes, your son cannot do this because he would be called a snitch, but this could get very dangerous for both you and your son and daughter...

Tell the Super what has happened and who is involved. Ask him if he will move the guy who is causing the problems to another unit.... Maybe this will be done and all will clear up...

Ask the Super not to let anyone know who called him about this siutation so that your son will not receive any flack...

Hope something works..

My Prayers

Cepora,

I agree with vnvdvc, I don't think this is over a girl. It's a power play to see if your son will do what this guy says. The guy must know that if he talks to your daughter she'll just tell him to screw off, & she won't accept the collect call. It seems to me this is about getting the number not making the call. If your son gives in he's opening him self up for more. If the guy trys anything your son will have to defend himself. You may be able to call the sherrif to have your son moved but this can also be dangerous. If the bully gets any idea that your son or someone else called the cops, he may label your son a snitch. Ussually the cops want to know who's doing the pressuring, it's quid pro quo.----Ken

I agree this is probably a power play...but the guy might also be interested in your daughter....I'd call the superint. too and just make sure that they do something about it, because it can be a difficult situation.

i think in the county jail it is not too difficult to have hiom moved to another cell block
