Prison Legal Question Charged Anyway, Altered Letter Posted

I asked a legal question regarding my husband, who is in the Bibb County prison in AL. They said that if I was not happy with the answer, I would not be charged. They asked for my credit card first. The answer the lawyer gave me was to contact the Bar Association for referrals to lawyers. As if I could not have thought of that on my own! And he had the nerve to ask for a tip for his advice! I was asked to explain why I declined, and I did. I was charged anyway, and since I was away, I did not notice until I was charged again the next month. I asked my bank for the number and called, and I threw a big fit when they tried to tell me I could not get my money back.

The worst part of my story is this: I mentioned no names in my letter, and I said my husband "told" me what happened. I never claimed to have witnessed the event. I guess they were so angry that I dared ask for my money back that they retaliated against me. They altered the letter, added the warden's name, and signed the letter with my name and the city I live in, which I would never do. I value my privacy more than anything. They got my name and city from my card information. They obviously looked up the warden's name. They not only printed the altered letter with my name on it on their main web page as though I was a success story, they also posted it so that if you look up Warden Ralph Burnell's name, my letter pops up with my name and city, leaving me wide open for anyone to find me. My name is in the phone book, and it is an unusual last name.

The best (worst) thing about this is that the warden found out. Someone told him I posted it, and with my picture. Now he is threatening to arrest me for slander (which he can't do), but he is denying me visitation with my husband, who is probably on lockdown although he did nothing wrong, and they stopped all correspondence between us (even between my kids and their father). I tried contacting them to tell them to take my letter off immediately, and this lawyer has the nerve to try to charge me for an answer to her question. This has caused all kinds of problems and extreme stress for me. If you notice, no one else's name is printed (it is X-ed out), or address. My card information even popped up with all but the last 4 digits X-ed out. They have all the info needed to shut down my card. I feel I have a strong lawsuit, especially since I rejected their advice. They did this out of retaliation. You can look it all up and see that what I am saying is true.
