Hi, new to this site my man just hit reception recently at NKSP. I just got my visit application & had a couple questions if anyone can help?
For ever been detained, arrested, convicted specifically. A year ago I was detained for questioning & it was dismissed which I wrote down but should I include the search warrant from the incident or property receipt to show proof of it being dismissed? Also one concern I have a Failure to Appear in court for a traffic infraction. I have an attorney on retainer currently taking care of it in court for me is that something I would need to write down as well or show proof of?
If anyone could help me out I’d really appreciate it, just trying to make sure it gets approved the first time lol. Thank you in advance

For SURE list that you were detained, or they will deny your application. Any arrest, conviction etc.
As to the failure to appear, you will need to have that resolved before you will be approved as well. (pretty sure on this anyways) Fines/fees paid as well.
Keep the receipt after its paid and send a copy of that just in case it does not show up when they run your name thru.

What about a ticket for my registration on my car do u know if I have to pay that ticket before I get approved?, I got denied because they couldn't verify my identity so I sent in my birth certificate and copy of my driver's license. They didn't say anything about my ticket which was due on 8/7/19 but I won't be able to make a payment on it till next week or do I just got to wait it out and see what they say?

It may be too new (the ticket and non payment) but I'd pay it and again, keep the receipt.
Hopefully it wont be denied due to that. I dont think tickets per se are the issue but possibly not paying the fine could be (at least as some point)

Unfortunately non payment of even a parking ticket can result in a warrant being entered into some of the law enforcement computer systems. I wasn't able to find the current number of active warrants in California, but New York has 1,200,000 of them, so it doesn't take very much to become subject to arrest by any LE officer you come in contact with.

The answer to your question depends on which databases the prison system checks when vetting visitors.

Thanks guys. Well its my first ticket in California and my last ticket i got was in 2011 and it was in Az. I'ma go down the the police station and make a payment arrangement hopefully that will help with not getting a warrant. Lol

It's tough, so hang on. With each passing day you are one step closer to having this behind you. Hopefully he will not allow his past to rule his future, so be a strong support for him.

Reception is probably going to be the hardest since communication is limited. You should send him letters, envelopes, stamps so he can write to you. Also set up your gtl account so he can call you. Tell him to send you a visiting form so you can go visit him..it takes 4 to 6 weeks to process. make sure he signs the back before he sends it to you..

Does anyone know what's going on with the mail. I only got one letter so far and that was in Aug

Caitoiya · #**414** 11-03-2019, 12:18 PM

It takes about 3 weeks for them to get mail from you.
