Q: If I am a former prisoner at a military correctional facility am I allowed to contact other former inmates?
I just want to make sure they are safe and got to where they needed to be. I want to help the guys who werent as lucky as me to have a good support system. I am not on parole, I am not released on any conditions.

A: It depends on the conditions of your release. For service members who served a longer sentence (those over 10 years and usually those over 20) there is the possibility of early release through a parole system. When released, those individuals may carry similar conditions on release that limit who they have contact with. If you served your sentence fully and was released, then normally there is no prohibition on who you contact with. (However, there may be other orders/authorities from the military or other jurisdictions, depending on your case, that could impact you.)
