I haven't heard from my pp (who is more than just a pp........ =S ) in a few days..and i know that's not a long time but he was going to call Monday and he didn't and that is very unlike him. Plus, he had talked about a problem he was having with another inmate and I think he might have gotten into a fight.....:skeptical: I get SUPER shy on the phone..so I want to contact is case manager to find out if he is in the hole or not, but I'm scared. Like what should I say to his case manager? Will they give me information even though I'm not family? Will they tell him I called??
Any help/advice is appreciated--thank you!!

I feel your pain....I'm in the same situation maybe even worst off. I'm used to getting 1-3 letters a week. It's been a flipping whole month since I"ve received anything....
I'm also wondering what route I can take to find out what's up with my pal. As for calling his case worker or counselor whatever the case may be that probably depends on the facility and the idividual if they will tell you anything. When my husband first went to prison quite awhile back his counselor was NOT helpful at all in letting me know anything even though I was his legal wife.
As for my pal that I'm quite concerned about since we are much more than just penpals also i've been thinking about maybe calling the Chaplain's office. I'm thinking I might get more answers out of them than any DOC personnel.
This waiting and wondering really :uk2: stinks.
Yeah I totally agree!!! He usually calls like 3-4 times a weeks..and I usually get at least 3 or 4 letters a week..and I haven't gotten any letters since last Friday, and the last time he called was Saturday....I tried calling the facility, I asked to speak to his case worker and told them his inmate number..then they transferred me and I got a voicemail..so I called back about an hour later and said the same thing--and the lady yelled at me for still not knowing his case worker's name (it would sure save a lot of time if I had that ready!!!) Wellllllll.....I got the voicemail again..and now I'm scared to call back!! Ugh!
Have you tried to call the chaplain ? They're usually nice people and could maybe tell you what is going on...
Crossing my fingers for both of you guys :)
Thank You. :)
Like Peyton....I'm SUPER shy on the phone. I've just been keeping my fingers crossed every day that I finally receive word from him. but my patience can't hold out much longer. If I don't get something in the mail first thing in the morning then I think I will break down and call the Chaplain's office.
Peyton leave a message on the voice mail asking they get back to you, don't be afraid to call. Honestly many are really nice, others have attitudes as you have discovered but you find that everywhere in life no matter what job a person has.
What i think many should discuss with those they are close too, is having someone in their circle within the prison walls they trust who can contact you if they are unable to make that call or send that letter, that way at least you have answers. I have this set up and it works well, so i would encourage you to. One friend knew before she was contacted by the prison her loved one was on his way out to the "free world" hospital.
Thanks!! Yesterday I got a letter informing me that two of his good friends (one of which is pps with my roommate) got sent to the hole for 'horseplay'. More than likely he did something to follow suit and got himself in there for a bit as well....BOYS! At least I heard from him and I know that everything is ok-- =) *sigh*
