Today, whilst working in a law firm, I took a call from a criminal, demanding that we apply for bail as he didn't like being in jail. When I tried to explain no one likes being in jail, he became angry and hung up the phone. FML

Today, my fiancé called me as I was clocking out. I thought he was going to tell me that he was waiting outside. Instead, he told me that he's getting arrested and needs me to call his mom for him. FML

Today, I was arrested for DWI in my own apartment complex. I had to be released into the custody of a sober adult, but I wasn't allowed access to my phone to get any numbers. I only have a few memorized. So I was picked up from jail by my ex-girlfriend and her fiancé - my manager at work. FML

Today, I was called by a restricted number. The man on the phone then explained to me in detail what I was doing at every second that I was on the phone with him. I'm scared to leave my house. FML

Today, I had to deal with my baby daddy, who I currently live with and was in a relationship with (but not anymore after today) cursed me out after someone who works for the county came to our home and served him papers. Mind you he’s been speaking on the phone with this person, and told them he would be home. FML

Today, I got a call from my boyfriend. He was at the police station for breaking into a model home to hook up with the girl he's been cheating on me with for the past 4 months. I was his one phone call. He was expecting me to bail him out. FML

Today, I called my boyfriend to see if he wanted to come over to my house. He said he couldn't because he was out of town. That would have be perfectly acceptable, if I hadn't called him on his house phone. FML

There's nothing you can do once he finds your number.

Inmates are only human, and they experience as much loneliness and need for companionship as the rest of us. In fact, loneliness is a major problem affecting the psychological health of prisoners, hence charities like writeaprisoner.com. While I agree that the OP shouldn't have given out her number, the inmate's question was not completely ridiculous.

It doesn't specifically state she gave him her number. If she did she is stupid, and violating the terms of her job. Correction Officers and other jail or prison staff are not supposed to have a relationship of any kind with the inmates (well aside from staff-inmate). If she did give the inmate her number, she could get fired. Someone would find out eventually.
