I think he forgot about calling me. I think I'd have heard from him by now. He said he'd call me this weekend but its sunday and he hasn't called. Today has been a hard day. I wish I could hear his voice. I have a day off tomorrow but I'd rather go to work. I feel so heartbroken. Did he forget to call me? Did something happen? It sucks no knowing. I know he recently sent me another letter but it won't get here with the holiday monday until wednesday. I hate waiting. I just really want to hear his voice. I need to hear from him. I am lucky to have spoken with him on friday but it'd be nice to talk to him now. How late can he call out till? I wonder if there is just a long line of people using the phone? Do you have to sign up for certain times? I have kept my phone by me all day... I know I haven't missed his calls. I won't do that again. maybe he forgot about me.. feel kind of down tonight.. just need to hear from him...
Where I was in prison there were only two telepones for 90 inmates. Each inmate talked fifteen minutes. You do the math, but it is obvious that there are times when a telepone is just not available.
Inmates don't have the luxury of just picking up a phone and calling whenerver they choose.

Yes its hard when they don't call when they say they will your mind gos start to the what's happened and are they ok.....yes I was in your shoes a few weeks ago and yes I totally flipped out! I end up calling the prison and found out that the prisonsers phones where out.
Not all the guys are fair with how long they are on. Most do their one call, then let someone else have it, but some sit on it and make a bunch of calls. My fiance would get so irritated he would get out of line rather than getting pissed off and get in a fight.
Some days they have a million dr appointments, classes, etc, and they are just worn out mentally. Some days they are not in a good mood, and don't want to get snappy with us, when it isn't us they are mad at. Can you imagine being in a place like that? I would be such a witch with a B, or cry all the time.
I have a woman friend in prison too, she says the women are so aggressive and almost worse than the men sound like they are.
It will be ok. He will call.
