Thank you so much for reporting on this. Folks would otherwise wonder why their loved ones aren’t calling and get worried.
So glad they have these as someone who lost someone they love and the individual not nearly serving enough time behind the walls. I am so glad they have these to help keep the public safe. awesome job to the guards and all that are involved . Keep doing what you are doing.
