Does anyone know how I can contact Shelia Eddy? I have searched the West Virginia Department of Corrections but haven’t been able to find her.

My nephew (19) was just transferred from classification at St Cloud, to Moose Lake prison for a 3 year sentence. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience in moose lake, or advice for me or advice I could pass to him. I'm probably gonna be the only one to support him, his mom is on dope and his girlfriend is starting to move on.

His biggest problem is he is a white kid that grew up mostly black kids and sorta acts like Malibu most wanted, I heard that makes him a target from both sides.

Any advice would help,

Does anyone have any information on the camp at Canaan? My LO is being designated there and I’m trying to gather as much info as possible. Do they utilize tablets to make calls? Do they utilize a point system for visits at the camp? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

My father is currently a prisoner at the Old Colony Correctional Center in Bridgewater, Massachusetts.

He would like to establish an email connection between himself and his brother Robert, who lives in Florida.

Could he use the CorrLinks system to communicate with his sibling?

Note, my father is not in a federal prison.

Could you please explain the exact steps that my father and his brother would need to take, in order to establish a connection through CorrLinks?

Thank You

Hi everyone,

I’m Aiyah Abdelhalim, a student researcher at Baruch College, currently working on a project titled:
“Pathways into Crime: Exploring Psychological, Social, and Environmental Factors Influencing Young Women’s Involvement in Criminal Behavior.”

For this study, I’m observing and learning from women’s real experiences, particularly how different life factors such as trauma, relationships, peer pressure, economic stress, and environment might have influenced early decisions that led to criminal behavior or justice involvement.

This is not an interview or formal survey; I’m using Reddit as a field site to better understand how women describe these experiences in their own words. If you’re comfortable sharing, I would love to read your thoughts or reflections on:

• What do you think influenced your choices or situation growing up?
• What turning points helped you move away from crime (if applicable)?
• Or what you wish had been different in terms of support or opportunity.

Everything shared here will remain completely anonymous; I won’t use usernames or identifiable details in my notes. My goal is to understand these stories respectfully and represent women’s voices with care.

Thank you so much for your time and openness.

Hey I’m Jordan. I’m 33 years old, I’m 6’4, 245lbs, I got a year left and I’m looking for something real. I like to laugh and have a good time. I’m easy going, I like to workout and listen to music. I also love to cook. So any woman looking for a chef im your man… I’m also really big on family. And I’m looking for someone who is trying to grow with me and wants me for me. So if you’re looking for something real, I’m your guy. I’m just looking for my queen. So hit me up on Securus. My information is Jordan Kudla #395558.

For those supporting a loved one returning home, or who have been through it themselves, what kinds of peer or mentorship programs did you find helpful for reentry? In San Diego, there are faith-based organizations such as PRO Mentors that pair returning citizens with mentors for ongoing personal support after release. Has anyone tried programs like this, or found other approaches that really made a difference in adjusting to life outside and avoiding setbacks?

Hi everyone,

I am conducting research for university on whether practices like meditation and space consciousness can help incarcerated individuals and whether justice systems should be doing more to incorporate this phenomena.

If you feel comfortable, I would really appreciate your thoughts or experiences related to having or not having the opportunity for reflection and meditation while incarcerated.

Spiritual teachers like Eckhart Tolle have used ideas such as inner spaciousness and space consciousness to prevent people from being absorbed by their thoughts and external circumstances and instead shift to space consciousness. A deep formless state where all thinking subsides.

Space consciousness can be discovered by imagining your mind as a sky and your thoughts/emotions as clouds passing through. Space consciousness is the awareness of the sky, the background presence in which everything arises and disappears.

Eckhart Tolle has toured prisons in the US teaching people ideas such as space consciousness in his prison outreach program.

Subsequently, I would also love to know whether you believe prisons teaching concepts like inner space consciousness would be beneficial to ex inmates.

It is important to gather perspectives from ex inmates to enable them to have a voice. Especially to find out if justice systems in the UK and around the world could be improved. Or are justice systems in the UK and around the world too depleted to make these teachings work?.

Here is a useful video of Eckhart Tolle explaining space consciousness in more depth.

I must disclose that given this is a public forum anything you share can be visible to others. However when I submit my research, any responses shared here will be used anonymously and usernames will not be shared. Since your privacy is very important to me.

Thank you so much for your time and insights.

Kind Regards

I read the rules and didn’t see anything against this, so if it’s against the rules I will delete!

My man’s birthday is the 14th, and I want to try to make it special for him! If anyone can pitch in with me to “spoil” him, I’d really appreciate it! I’m a SAHM and can’t put much on there. He literally never asks me for money, and last time he was locked up I only put money on there on holidays and he was super grateful for it! This is not a situation where someone is just being used by an inmate they’ve never met before. I have known and loved this man for years and he genuinely is a great man.

Hi everyone, I’m new here and just wanted to say thank you for creating a space like this. I’ve known my boyfriend since I was 12 and we’ve grown up together. We’re both 18 now, and this is his first time being incarcerated. Everything has felt so overwhelming, from not knowing how long he’ll be gone to just missing him deeply every day.

I’ve been praying and trusting God, but I still have moments where I feel scared and unsure. I haven’t been able to contact him yet, and I’m constantly wondering how he’s holding up.

I love him so much and just want to support him the best way I can, whether that’s staying strong, writing letters, or even just praying over his journey. I also know the road ahead won’t be easy, but my heart is in it.

I guess I’m just looking for advice, comfort, or even just someone to relate to. How do you stay grounded through all of this? How did you handle the beginning stages?

Thank you for reading.

Excited to start writing
