partner is in DOC – looking for insight

My Fiancé was recently incarcerated in Washington State. Before this, he had about a few years sober from harder substances, which I really respected and supported.

This is all very new to me, and I don’t have any experience with the prison system or what day-to-day life is like inside WA DOC. I also don’t really know what to expect in terms of communication, environment, and how relationships tend to change during this time.

One thing that’s been weighing on me is that he’s asked me to put money on someone else’s books instead of his. I don’t have experience with this system, so I’m trying to understand if that’s common or something I should be cautious about.

As a side note, if anyone has experience with WA DOC (personally or through a loved one), I’d really appreciate any insight into what it’s like.
