Well I just called the parole board automated number and it use to say "parole revoked with reset". Now it says "no decision is available". Does this mean that the parole board got mad at me for sending letters on his behalf? He was scheduled for parole reconsideration is September. He was revoked last September for a DUI. Now that I have read all of the posts about how the parole board is so behind I feel like his September parole won't happen. I need some encouragement. Can the parole board set them back even more if they receive letters on the inmates behalf. I am just so confused. I thought since he was a prison rep in Limestone that it would help him when he comes up for parole. I need some advice as I feel like I am losing all hope.

I wouldnt get upset till i heard further, besides it might be a good thing coming up behind it. wil keep my fingers crossed for you both

:banghead: :angry: Hi Kev,I know just how you feel.I'm sure probably half the ladies here are feeling pretty down right about now.I sure am,I talked to Lee and he said the talk around there is if you haven't went home by the end of July,you will be shipped somewhere else.As it stands right now he's in alex city work release,which is 10 mins.from where I live,he gets passes every other w/end.But if he gets shipped he's thinking he will get sent to Decatur,no telling how long it will take to get a job and not to count that's like 3 hours from me.

Hey ya'll. I just talked to Kevin and broke down on the phone. Now I made him feel bad and I can't stop crying. He is in Limestone and he hasn't heard anything
about being moved to another prison. He said he was going to try to find out some stuff tomorrow. I go see him Saturday. I honestly don't know how much longer I can go on. I can't comprehend revoking someone for a year and that year ending and they still keep them locked up. Why don't they just revoke them for twice that long and be done with it. I am having a terrible time trying to keep bills paid. Well, I do wish good luck to all of you.

((((hugs))))
sweetie, no one ever knows what the parole board is going to do but I'm sure your letters on his behalf didn't cause the message to change.
I understand how hard this is for you- my husband has been in for 10 years+. it's ok to cry and anytime you feel like you need to talk please feel free to pm me if you don't want to post it. Lewis has been in Limestone for 5 years and is in the honor dorm, so they may know each other.
try to smile and just take this one day at a time. don't look too far out in the future but just get through today. soon you'll find that you've gained the strenght to see you both through this.
my prayers are with you

kevslady im so sorry... who knows what these morons are thinking.. that is why i am so hopeful that the feds will step in soon and just let them come home... you cant keep people locked up forever and not have any money to keep them there... my boyfriend (whos also at limestone) says the co's in his dorm have been giving everyone a really hard time lately.. they're stressed to the max too, theyre understaffed and underpaid... everyone there thinks theyre trying to incite a riot so we get some national attention from the feds.. all i can say is that it cant keep going like this, it just cant...

i wouldnt worry about the parole board recording... sometimes when i enter my boyfriend's ais it says it isnt valid... i say well if it aint valid, let 'em go! hehe.. it just seems to be flaky at times.. we're all in the same boat so feel free to write to us whenever you want.. we understand how frustrating it feels when youre all alone facing the doc...

Don't put to much into the recording...it still has Kenny's release date on there...Aug 2000....and it doesn't even have that he's back...so who knows about it...as far as the parole hearing..if he is non-violent case I'm sure your be fine. If is violent case, it is true..they are running 22 months behind. I call the parole board yesterday and checked in to that...good news is there are several Bills in the legislature that will help catch up on these cases..HB539 is the most important.

I can feel your pain girl..this is very stressful, but one thing is for sure in this mess. WE WILL SURVIVE IT. and if you guys are like me and kenny, its doing nothing more but make our relationship stronger.

I guess I must be behide ya'll,because the parole board told me about 3 weeks ago they were running 12 to 14 months behind where did this 22 months come in,I hope its not 22 months my man was up for parole Aug ust of last year I was sure hoping he would get date around aug or sept. hes been there 9 1/5 years now. I'm sure ready for the feds.

So this new bill, (the victim notification bill) will help speed things up? Do they give the victim 30 days to respond and then move on from there if no one responds?

CORRECT ....that should make a hugh difference!

What is the porale board automative Number?

It's 1-888-726-9799 Make sure to have inmate AIS# to enter.

Try to calm down. I just got off Parole in Alabama in Aug. Also while I was in work release I worked one block from the PAROLE building. And sometimes board members would come in where I work. And I would ask them different question?

For one thing they must of had his file and updated the info. on the 1-800 number line. They are running behind. And all that means is that a date hasn't been set. So, don't get discouraged. Another thing. The letter you write, all go into a file. They might not read them right away. But, I was told once that the letters that are recieved look good in the person file. That way they know he has people that are behind him and willing to give support?
Sometimes, if an inmates parole date and there EOS dates are close together, then that could be why yall don't have a parole date yet. So hang in there. And try not to read to much into it. Keep the faith Girl. It will all be over soon............kat

;) Thank God everyone,I talked to Lee again and he told me that the LT.told him that it was just a bunch of rumors about any of the guys in the Alex City Work Release being shipped.So now at least I can stop worrying about that.Don't worry Kev it will all work out,just trust in the good Lord above and I promise he will hold your hand all the way through it.I've cried countless times and wondered how I was gonna pay that pile of bills,but with a few prayers the money seemed to be there at just the right time.And of course we are always here to listen when you need us most and nobody else seems to understand I can grant you this,WE DO.So pick your head back up and keep on smiling!!!:)

I love you all so much! I wasn't able to get on this site for a while because I couldn't afford internet. My sister set me up with it again and I sure have missed coming here and hearing all of the positive news. I am sorry if I brought anyone down or made anyone feel bad. I am feeling better today because I go see Kevin Saturday.

sweetie, hate to break it to ya but anytime you are in a group of people dealing with bad situations that are similar, it only brings them up to know they arent alone.....you arent alone.....you are going to have soooooooooo much fun when he gets home, can you just imagine all the things you will do with him and the places yall will go and sit and talk and whatever....you have it coming its a gift ready for you......its just like your b-day you gotta wait till that day and it sucks!!! but you are going to do it and i know it

Hey, can someone give me the address to write the parole board so I can start bombarding them with letters about my fiance in Ventress. THanks!

Pardons and Paroles 301 South Ripley Street, Montgomery, Alabama

Hi Everyone, This is my very first time to be here but I have a feeling that I will not leave , for good , for many many years. If I could get some feed back on my feelings it will help me alot. My mom and dad wasn't married when I was born and they each went different ways with thier lives. I was rasied with 1 brother but when I was 31 years old I met my real dad and my other brothers and sister. We never really got that close and when dad died we all kinda went our different ways again.
Now I found out that one of my brothers are now in Limestones CF.He will be there for many many years as I stated before. Our sister has also passed away and there is no one there to visit and support my brother in jail. I live in Atlanta and would so much love to be there for him. There have never been fighting or anything like that between us. They just didn't understand how they was all feeling about me showing up in their lives so I understood and kinda backed away. I have found his AIS number but can't find out what I need to do in order to get on his visiting list to see him or even talk to him. I know he must be lonely. What they said he did was really bad and he is paying for his mistake and I don't feel like I need to jude him again for anything at this point. I still love him and would like to be able to tell him so. If you can help me.....PLEASE.....PLEASE...Email me I pray for everyone's heart to find some peace! Thank you, Nancy

Hello Nancy,

If you would send me his AIS, via PM I will get you the mailing info. Then you could write him and he could add you to his visitation list.

Glad you found us, I'm sure you will find this place to be full of support and info...
Here's the link to the rules and regs....

I look forward to hearing from you

hi nancy. welcome to pto. if you have your brother's ais number you can write to him. to get on his visitation list, he has to put you on it. it can take a few months for it to get approved as theyre only allowed submitting their visitation list once every six months. if you want to write to him, the address is the following:

his name, his AIS number
LCF
28779 Nick Davis rd
Harvest, AL 35749

usually you have to put the dorm number too, but you probably dont know that...if his ais number is there it'll get to him.
inmates there have a phone list of approved numbers they can call. he will need to put your number on there as well. be prepared though, out of state calls from limestone usually cost about 20$ for every 15 minute call.
my boyfriend is at limestone, and though i live in vermont now im planning on moving to atlanta in the next few weeks. so we have alot in common! :)

Hi Nancy...Welcome to PTO. I'm so sorry about you and your brothers situation I will keep you both in my prayers...

hello Nancy and welcome to pto. i'm sorry that you have found your brother in prison ,you must have hundreds of questions. the wonderful ladies of our alabama forum are alway's here for support and answers to your questions.

Hi Nancy,welcome to our second home!

HELLO, It was so nice and very appreciated that so many people took the time to help me! Sorry that it took me FOREVER to get back to you all. I have been out of state visting family. Nancy

NEVER be sorry for hurting, or needing someone to talk to. And never feel that your hurt his chances by writing because, I doute if they even really read them or not, they just open, put in file and go on, because they really do not care what we think, or our men would be home.

Cember I cant believe what I just read. My bofriend is in Alabama and I live in Vermont also. Where do you live in Vermont? Maybe we can get together. What a small world it is!!!

Thank you Denise! I will get his number and send it to you asap. They live in Texas and I am in Georgia. We play phone tag alot. LoL Thanks again, Nancy
