Phone calls?

My husband hasn't called me yet today and he usually calls before noon and latest in the evening. I'm kinda worried and don't know how to find out if the phones are down or weekday. Does anyone know how i can find out?

I normally look up my guy prison and see if they are on lock down but you can always email or call his case worker and see what going on

First of all, don't assume the worst, okay? There are lots of reasons why you may not have received a call, and most of them are not a big deal. He'll call when he can.

Maybe the phones are down. Maybe some of the phones aren't working, causing a long line for the remaining phones. Maybe he laid down to take a nap and slept longer than he'd intended. Maybe the med line or the commissary was closing earlier than usual and he had to make a run for it now or wait a lot longer than he really wanted to. Maybe a pal or a neighbor needed some help with something and no one else would help. Maybe he needed a little "extra" time in the bathroom. Maybe . . . do you see what I mean?
