Question About Phone Calls Home
I probably won't receive a phone call from my SR for about another week and a half or so. I've been wondering... How long they are allowed to talk, and I'm also wondering if they are allowed to call more than one person. His dad and I are divorced. Will they limit him to one person?

Stephnie, It just all depends. My son who graduated 7/20 (it was awesome!!!!) got to call more than I thought that he would. It was probably around week 4 or 5 and he got to call every Saturday. He has said that his div. was doing really well, and so they got to make calls. One Saturday I remember that he called me, then called his girlfriend and then actually called me back. Each time that he called, it seemed like he did get more time to talk. Hopefully this will be the case with your son as well.

No set rules at all when it comes to phone calls. My son didn't get to make his first because he had his wisdom teeth pulled the same day phone calls were allowed. He missed his second phone call because he had watch. His first phone call came about 3 weeks before graduation and we spoke for 38 minutes. The next week he was able to call again on a sunday and that was over an hour. that same day he called his sister because they weren't home when he called and he also called his granparents and girlfriend. The week of graduation, he called home every day and also made other calls as well. I sure do hope you get a call soon! They make a world of difference.
