I stubbled apon this site last night trying to look up into on Ft. Sill. My husband just got transfered there last Thursday night. I know that he is in a 96 hour "segregation" before they release him into the general population. I have the RCF handbook, and that this is useless. My question is, how long would it be before he would be able to make a phone call home? I have read some threads to where they are not allowed to call for 30 days. Is this true? If I wanted to check on him and see how he is doing how would I go about that? When sending him letters, is there a limit on how many pages? Can I send him ultra sound pictures of his baby? The last I heard from him is that he is scared out of his mind and then I havent heard from him since. So any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

I'm not for sure about fort sill but when my son was at fort lewis they allowed him to call after his segregation time was up. So just hang in there and he will call as soon as she is allowed and hopefully will be able to tell you what you can send him in the mail. I know with my son we were able to send pictures so hopefully you will be able to also. and congrats on the upcoming birth of your child, When is the baby due?

Thank you, our baby is due 17Jul08. All I know is it is just hard sitting here waiting and not knowing if he is okay.

Redhead,
Hello and welcome to the forum. Glad you found us and hope you can find your answers here. I can't help with the info on the RCF, sorry. But yes, it is very hard not knowing what is going on with your loved one. I think it is probably the hardest part of dealing with their incarceration. All I can tell you from my experience is that you try to communicate as much as possible. You can write any time you want, as much as you want. He can write to you as much as he wants, or as much as his postage allotment allows him to. He probably can purchase stamps, or you can order them at the USPS website and have them delivered to him. You can send pictures and drawings, but not newspapers, magazines, books, etc. Phone calls are a life-line - always seeming to come just before you think you can't go another day without hearing from them! However, they are expensive, and never last long enough! There is a lot of information on the general rules of other facilities that is most likely pretty much in line with Ft. Sills, so read some of the other threads and you might find some answers. I can't remember who has someone at Ft Sill, but someone will come along with an answer or two. I hope things get better for you. Congratulations on the baby! Hang in there!

Thank you for the information. I really appreciate it. I finally got tired of waiting, and I called the RCF myself. LOL. And the lady that answered was quite nice and gave me a lot of information. The one thing that my husband and I are having issues with is that they are telling him that he is there for 220 days, with he signed a pre trial agreement for 120 days. And he cant seem to get any answers, so I am going to try and co0ntact them again tomorrow and find out if they do have the right paper work, cause if not, I got to have his attorney send in the correct paperwork so he doesnt get screwed. But once again I do thank you for all of your information. Now it is just a matter of getting the ball rolling.

Does anyone know if there is a way to get information on an inmate? I have a funny feeling something is wrong. My husband has been calling me regularly, and now he hasnt been calling. IS there a way I can check his status? Meaning if he has been hurt or in a fight or anything like that???

I don't know for sure but when my son was at Fort Lewis and this happened to us, I called the facility and they told me that it was probably that he didn't have any money on his account which he did but the next day my son did call, he said they had phone problems, which happened alot after that, but at that point it was the first time so I was very worried.

Yeah I am extremely worried about him. He is such a sensitive man that I worry about him a lot. The sentence that he got was bogus. But there is nothing that we can do about it. Although I am trying. LOL.
