Tonight my guy didn't call.. Or hasn't called yet. He usually calls around 6:30 it is now an hour after later.. Best case scenario: He's been moved but this so unlikely. As of yesterday he still had a lot to do before getting moved again. Worse case scenario: He let his anger get the best of him and mouthed off or something! He was so extremely angry last night when he called, and I tried talking him through it... He seemed fairly calm when we got off the phone... So please please talk me through this. I know it's most likely something simple like the line was too long, or he is trying to save me money, or he isn't out yet for his hour, or maybe they let them out before the phones were on (last night they let them out at 430 for an hour, and the phones aren't turned on until 5)...

I'm just so worried about what might have happened. I'll never get sleep tonight... How late should i wait for the call? What time do you think lights out is???

Is your guy in a county jail or a prison? I know the county jail my guy is in I can call up and ask his status to see if he did screw up and get locked down.

He's in Lexington Assesment and Reception center in Oklahoma. He is kind of between prison and county if that makes sense..

Thanks.. Right now he's at a facility for assesment so they are only out of their cells for one hour.. Each quad gets their own hour. Yesterday they were shorted phone time by half an hour so I'm going to assume the phone line was too long.. I'm sure several guys didn't get to make calls yesterday.. Mine did and he's a kind guy, so I'm sure he said he'd let everyone else get their calls in. At least that's what I'm hoping.. Again last night he was really angry at the system and even said he was just hoping someone would say something to him.. I thought I calmed him down, but you never know for sure.

In Tx county jails let prisoners call till 10pm at night but each place is different. I'm sure that he is fine, hopefully you'll hear from him tomorrow. Sleep tight.

There can be a million reasons why he hasnt called... i use to go nuts long time ago.. but you have to remember prison or jail is unpredictable.. it could lock down, phone broken, miss phone time, ect ect ect... you have to relax... and hope and pray that everything is ok..if it makes u feel better you could always call and see if theres a lock down or something.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
