Groups tell you how a place feels. For the numbers (stamp rates (the inmate currency), store markups, photo rules, and how each level generally runs), see [the facility guide](/resources/facilities).

**Need help with this? Just ask.**

These pages cover the general rules. Your situation has details they don't. Email me a question. **Answers are free** , and "you don't need to pay anyone for this" is my most common answer.

I answer in the order received, usually within a couple of days. I have a day job. If your situation genuinely needs more than an email, I take a limited number of consults, so say so and we'll work it out.
