I have a friend headed to the Alvis RRC program in Columbus, OH. Does anyone have experience there, and happen to know what cell phone models get approved? I’m pretty sure it has to be a no camera/no internet model. Thank you!
Are reentry clients allowed to have a cell phone in the residential program?
In general, yes, clients in our residential programs are permitted to have cell phones, unless there is something specific from the referring agency (Federal Bureau of Prisons, Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, etc.) or in a client's legal status that would prevent the client from being able to have a cell phone. To protect the privacy of all clients, there are restrictions on the use of cell phone cameras, recording and internet capabilities.
