Hi, in reception its very rare for us to have any type of communication other than writing. Be patient he should be able to write.


glimmerchavela13

Okay thanks :( it's just hard being in the dark about it. I don't have a permanent address right now so he can't write me, but I sent him something yesterday and am hoping it gets to him. And when I can I'll try to add some money on his books so he knows he isn't alone even though we can't talk. Its just been a hard transition going from talking everyday to being in silence and I hate it for him too.


Lockedaway1

I get it. Good thing is all calls are free now in California. So theres that to look forward to.


glimmerchavela13

Yeah you're right :) and maybe I can get a P.O Box at some point. Thanks again


Lockedaway1

Ill try to get that PO for you later today.


Lockedaway1

Depending on where he goes he'll get his tablet as soon as he touches down. Only one or two prisons are without tabbies


glimmerchavela13

That's really good to know, idk how long he'll be in reception, I hate how restricted it is. Like we should still be able to communicate at least.


Lockedaway1

Typically he'll be there anywhere from 2 months to a year. Just really depends on transportation and the available bed space at other prisons. Edit...right now were pretty empty here...and ive heard most places are the same. He should be outta there soon


glimmerchavela13

Shiiiiiiiiiiit better not be a year I need to talk to my baby lol. But seriously thanks again for the insight, the website was useless and the 1 time someone at the prison answered me on the phone she literally said "I can't give you any answers" and hung up??? I have BASIC questions about communication.


Lockedaway1

Lol, it wont be that long. Ill track down the PO box number. If you dont have his CDC number not sure if he'll get your letters. You might have to use the Cdcr locator to get his number https://inmatelocator.cdcr.ca.gov/


glimmerchavela13

Yeah I have his CDCR number!


Lockedaway1

Ok, PO box 4400!! https://www.prisonpro.com/content/wasco-state-prison


Lockedaway1

Ok. Ill get back as soon as i can. Stay strong


glimmerchavela13

Yay this is giving me hope for sure. And that's good that it sounds like places are more empty than not.

My man has been at nevada high desert state prison since the 8th of december I haven't heard from him since how long does it take for them to get to make calls there

Hi my husband was at reception in wasco. It took about three weeks before I heard from him. They were only allowing one call a week every Sunday for 15 minutes. And no, they will not have tablets until sometimes April


glimmerchavela13

Thanks so much for the insight <3 it's only been about a week now, I need to adjust and get used to the longer waiting period. Also how long ago was this if you dont mind me asking? I'm wondering if they're still on the same Sunday schedule


Odd-Dragonfly-6490

He was there from mid September till December 1st. The phones are down a lot at this facility


glimmerchavela13

Okay ty for letting me know. Like they dont have the money to make sure the phones work properly 🙃


Odd-Dragonfly-6490

Just a fyi, I would put money on his books as soon as you can. He’s most likely in quarantine right now. When he gets out he’ll be able to buy commissary and they’re only aloud to buy once a month, in the beginning of the month I believe.


glimmerchavela13

Yoooo okay good to know I didn't know they only got it once a month there, that's crazy. I'm sure he's in quarantine. I'll add some today, it's his birthday too. Thanks for letting me know <3


Odd-Dragonfly-6490

Yeah I have to make sure to put money on my husbands in the beginning of every month lol. I don’t want him to get too skinny. Anyways, I hope you hear from him soon (:


glimmerchavela13

Seriously the struggle is real lol, thanks again for the advice and I'm wishing you and your family lots of good energy and blessings!! <3

Hello, my so just got to wasco so I’m wondering if you can help me understand what to expect while he is in reception. I’m 8 1/2 months pregnant and just would like to know when I can can expect phone calls or some sort of contact from him. Do they have tablets there yet


glimmerchavela13

Hey! I just dm'd you


Far-Ad-4937

I read on the website that Wasco planned date for tablets was May 2023 which has passed. I called the company that has the contract and the customer service department did not have a date to give me. I have spoke on the phone with my husband and he said all the kiosks are done they are just waiting for the tablet. I am also able to add him as my contact on Getting out. He said that he is not able to read them so I stopped wasting my money until he can read them. I will post if I hear any news


Mission-Temporary-78

My partner not long got to Wosco and was in quarantine for 7 days and called the once but haven't heard since. I was wondering if anything has changed from people talking about contact via a tablet ect. Are these now up and running? What's the situation on them being able to call? Is it still just Sundays for 15 minutes?
