[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 26254, member: 1835"] PS DDD, when my son spent three weeks in Juvenile Hall, he was allowed only one call a week, and that was also to a landline number (ours) which was checked out. We were able to visit him for one hour every Sunday. All the kids sat on one side of long tables, and parents sat on the other side. Holding hands and touching of any kind was highly discourged, although the guards mostly turned a blind eye to my son and I holding hands. Anytime they rose from a sitting position, they were required to keep their hands behind their backs. I've never been involved in the legal system in my life, other than some speeding tickets as a teenager, and I was HORRIFIED. My son had never been involved in it either, and he was miserable. I truly believed that that stay would be all he needed to keep him on the straight and narrow. It was the happiest day in his life when he left JH to his group home where life is really rather normal, compared to JH. Sadly, the experience didn't seem to be enough, because he is STILL bucking the system. [/QUOTE]
