JM: What else would you want a friend or family member to know if they have a loved one going to this jail?
Milles: make sure the inmate has money on his/her books it will help with things like shampoo toothpaste deodorant etc. as well as pay for snacks and stationary. make sure you visit regularly it helps remind an inmate of home. and make sure you write its always nice to get a letter in jail its nice to know you're not forgotten.
Preston: Keep in contact with them! Accept collect calls, or send money so they will have credit to buy phone calls. Visit them (if possible. If a problem arises for them, you may need to alert their counselor to get an issue corrected.
Lauren: It's difficult at times, and the worst part is the wait before sentencing because the inmate can feel consumed by stress of the unknown. And typically the inmate expects family or friend to be able to do more fit them when in reality there really isn't allot they can do.
Rosa: Jail sucks don't do it, the guards are pretty laid back visits are pretty private, keep your head up you'll be out soon and multnomah county is pretty decent so it'll be fine
