My husband is incarcerated at Fort Sill, OK. He's been there for about 3 weeks now. Last weekend I drove up there to see him and got to spend a few hours with him (contact visitation). OMG we were both so happy to see one another and everything went very well. He called me the Sunday night that I left to drive back to Texas and then again the next night saying how glad he was that I came to see him and that it just made his entire week. Well anyway, this brings me to my problem. I know that they are allowed to be on the phone from 6-9pm every night if they want. It is their recreation time. He called me Tuesday night and said he would call me right back in a few minutes. (I had to let the dogs go outside to pee). I waited and waited and he never called. I just convinced myself that something must have happened to where he couldnt use the phone. The next day was our anniversary. I thought for sure he would call but nope, nothing. I cried myself to sleep with the phone in my hand. As I am writing now it is 7pm on Thursday and he still hasn't called yet. I think I am going out of my mind. I have so much I need to tell him and I don't know why he isn't calling me =( Has anyone else ever had this problem?:(

hey girl, granya here, dear it could be a dozen things. You must understand that they can not do anything they want. they have to take turns on the phone, he may be out of money if he has a card or for some reason he couldnt get back up to the phone. It is never easy when they are in there and you have to have faith in him. Believe me if you are that close and the visit was that great he is more upset than you. I promise you there is a very valid reason and it is probably not because he isnt trying. Just the other day I missed a call in the afternoon from my soninlaw and just KNEW in my heart it was the last call he could make before he was transfered as we were expecting. I sat by that phone for 8 hours and sure enough as soon as he could get back to the phone he called to tell us he was leaving that night for a new destination. It is nerve racking andmakes you crawl the walls but no one is more upset than him and you. Hang in there. He will call as soon as possible or send a letter explaining why he hasnt called. Putting you and him on my prayer list. morning and evening. God Bless.

You are such a kind hearted person. Thank you for responding to my post. Your insight has really made me feel much better. It is just so difficult going from spending every single minute with my husband to not knowing what or how he's doing at all. The days seem to pass so slowly when I don't receive that phone call you know? Thanks also for keeping Jose and I in your prayers. I will be praying for you and your Son-In-Law as well.
