Why can't toll free calls be made from Pulaski ????

I have sent alot of money to my family member there, the money doesn't make it to my family member, who is stealing the money???

Why am I getting reports of the prison not feeding people on Friday, Saturday and Sundays correctly? The people at Pulaski are getting one, maybe 2 meals a day on those 3 days. Whet the hell is going on there??

Why doesn't someone answer my questions? Am I alone in this room?

They only work a 4 day week so on Friday,Saturday and Sunday NO LUNCHES

welcome to the ga forum, robertsommers.

are you the inmate's approved visitors list? if not, you cannot send money to your relative. the money orders should've been returned to you by postal mail. if you are an approved visitor, then the money should've been credited. call the post office or wherever you purchased the money order from and track it ASAP. you should call pulaski and speak to the business office and/or the mailroom to find out if the money has been received an credited.

ga prisons give inmates two meals fridays, saturdays and sundays. the administrative offices (counseling, mailroom, etc) are closed on fridays.

please be patient with this group. since it is a forum, not a chat room so you won't always get an immediate response.

inmates cannot call toll free numbers. for more information about phones in ga prisons, visit the thread here in the forum.

Hi. Sorry, I'm new to this and don't want to waste anyones time, but I'm an English guy planning to visit an inmate at Pulaski that I've been writing to, in June. I've never visited a prison, ever, so I have no idea what to expect (probably a very big shock), so if anyone can give me any advice I'd be really grateful. Although it's a long trip, and Pulaski would not be my first choice as a place to meet, I want it so badly to be a lovely time with a very special lady. Anything you can tell me would be really appreciated. Thank you, and I hope your loved ones are all home with you soon.

Hello, group! My name is David. After 7 years of not knowing whether my mother was alive or dead, I found out that she is alive and serving time in Pulaski State Prison. She plead out to a five year sentence for 1st degree arson :angry: and fraud.

I have a unique perspective on life inside a GA prison because i served 7 years myself. I am, however, a reformed man. Currently i am studying to be a music minister in my church. I have been out for over 4 years and recently married a woman who visited me in prison for the last two years I was incarcerated.

I welcome any questions or comments concering life inside or outside of prison!

May God bless each and every one of you!:angel:

robertsommers, i spent some time in this prison. if you have any other questions please feel free to ask me. I know the real deal about what really goes on there. i was released 3 years ago thank god! and no they don't get lunch on friday, saturday, or sundays. the reason is NOT beacause these are the officers off-time. if that was the case, they wouldn't get breakfast or supper either, duh!! anyways visits are on the weekends and they have vending machines 4 visitors to buy there loved ones and themselves snacks, drinks, and other foods. this is used as a budgeting tecnique for most prison systems, because if ur family buys u food the state doesn't have to. unfortunately, not everybody gets visit or sent money for store days. my family and hometown is over 5 hours away and couldn't be there a lot like many, many, others, understandably. as far as the money goes good luck! there were many times i missed store and was sooo hungry on the weekends because they didn't post my money and to make it worse, i knew it was already there because the letter containing the money order was given to me at mail call. I know that i shouldn't have been there in the 1st place, but really!!! the guards and officers that work here do what they want. I've seen them tear up and throw away inmates letters for not standing far enough away from the desk during mail call. we even had a counselor there shut herself in her office and cut her own wrists. idk if she was having other personal problems or what? but mentally, this is a really tough prison to be in and i'll be praying for you and your loved one through this tough time.

I've never been in the prison system, but I have family and friends who has. I'm trying to get information on how I'd get "flyers" or other lituature to inmates without sending individual letters. Any ideas?
