First Contact

Dragonfly made her first outside contact to Sporty. According to Sporty, Dagonfly sounded good.  She said she had lost some weight....she wasn't eating much the days before self surrender...and the food was "ok". Take from that what you will.

She is in a space with 6 other women and, yes, there is drama. For those who have watched "Orange is the New Black" and observed the drama depicted on this show, she said it is more so there.

Phone calls are difficult.  Apparently,  I am not on the approved list as yet and another call went to voice mail to someone else on her list before she was able to reach Sporty. She must wait 30 min between calls and the lines are long. According to Sporty, the caller ID on her phone came in as "Unknown Number". When you receive a call, it will state where the call is from and you have the option to accept, decline or permanatly decline. During the call you will hear a recording reminding you it is a call from the prison...just in case you have forgotten. When the time is getting close to timing out , you will hear a recording  letting you know and when time is up, it terminates. She had given up her lunch time to make her call.

She stated that the mail many of us had mailed prior to her surrender was much appreciated.

The commissary funds she had sent from Western Union two days before surrender was there for her commissary visit. She did state she wasn't able to purchase all she needed. Not sure why.

Before the call ended she restated how much the mail means to everyone.  So, please take time out of your busy schedules to make someone's day if you have loved ones in prison.

She is taking it a day at a time....
