Do we set up the phone for them? my son just got there and I haven't been able to see him yet. I'm going this weekend to get the list and will bring him the stuff the next day.
Is there any more info about the wrc in Cocoa?

Anyone have any updated info on the bridges of cocoa . Visitation? What can I bring in with me? I heard we have to bring food when visiting since no canteen?? Any fast food place will do, correct?

Thanks in advance

You may have to call them and ask.

Just a little FYI, you cannot bring food when visiting the Bridges of Cocoa. They have 2 vending machines. 1 with snacks and the other with drinks.
I did get to visit my son and I was worried over nothing. It was an easy process.
The list of items he needed was long. I did forget a few things because he forgot to give me the paper and told me verbally what was needed.
And, I did set his phone up for him

I got him the cheap Walmart plan and that was not enough. In 1 day, he used up his data. Wow.

I'm not certain about either of those. You might be able to call them to find out.

Ankle monitors are typically used when a person is on parole, but it's possible that Cocoa uses them. A lot of halfway houses/transitional housing allows for cell phones, but only after the person has shown a degree of responsibility.

Again, this is just generally what I've heard from other work release centers, so it's not information that's definitive for Cocoa.
