Hi! Friends! As a parent of a "soon to be paroled son", I recently called and was transferred to a parole officer to answer my questions. Unfortunately the individual wasn't available so I left a message for call back. I'm still waiting. I'm assuming their workload must be great. I have questions on my son's options if my present address won't be approved since I'm now in an apartment setting. Whenever time permits, I would appreciate a call.☺ Thank you very much for your time!!
I have a friend coming to you all facility and I was wondering would they be allowed to have a cellphone and cigarettes? And also what is allowed for them to bring and what's not allowed?
***** This facility is a "Semi-lockdown" establishment. It truly is Very easy to follow the rules they have in place. Especially since the benefits far outweigh the need for any cell phone or need to break curfew or need for female/male socializing. Not only does the ATC provide therapy sessions and group meetings like AA/NA, they also help you apply for any & all state and federal government programs; i.e. SNAP/EBT Food Stamps Benefits, Section 8/HUD Housing, Social Security Disability Benefits & SSI, any Lifeline program like getting a cell phone even if you don't have the money to pay for it...this is commonly referred to as the "Obama Phone", it's a federally funded program meant to benefit the impoverished "Lowest of Low Income" families living here in the home of the brave and the land of the free in which we cite as the greatest nation on Earth. The ATC also helps former offenders with any & all assistive programs that the city/county has to offer. The ATC also gets you hooked up with the local groups and organizations that is individually suited towards each and every ATC Resident; for example, if a current resident of the ATC is "Disabled" OR perhaps the resident will be living with someone else considered disabled then the ATC would provide that resident with information from local support groups and provide some information about D.A.D.S. -> the Department of Aging & Disability Services and perhaps even take it a step further by providing the ATC resident with contact information for a local non-profit organization dedicated to helping people with disabilities live independently on their own like ARCIL. The ATC provides all of that along with helping each resident with areawide transportation via Cap Metro Bus Lines and how & where to obtain aid in getting bus fare/passes, clothing, other transitional housing opportunities, healthcare and vision/dental care and behavioral health care. The ATC also helps former offenders explore and discover new employment opportunities that they have and even aid them in pursuing a higher education. At the end of the standard 90 days spent living at/in the ATC transitioning from a life of Incarceration>"Offender""Former-Offender"

Seeking assistance for inmate who is about to be paroled out and is in need of a residence to Parole out to. He doesn't have Family in the area and doesn't want to have association with old friends because he wants a different lifestyle when he Paroles out.
I've called several times to speak with someone but have not been able to get in contact with a person. My question is do you accept parolee's with no substance nor alcohol abuse issues?
How do you find out if a loved one made it to the facility?
