Hi! Unfortunately I can not provide anybody with information about military prison, but I am in need of receiving some since my fiance is supposed to be there since last Monday.
Can anybody give me some information about the rules, conditions, visiting, calls, letters, mail......e.g. I am grateful for the smallest hint!
I am in Germany so it is really difficult to find something out.

Ok,
Well you have come to the right spot. I have been off line for a while, so if I am repeating something some one else has already posted, please forgive me.
Your fiance will be able to call you collect. If he is in general population, he can call almost any time up to 10pm. The calls are costly, so I would look into getting a second number and routing calls thru a local number. We have it set up with our son thru Bell South Teleconnect. Phone # 1-800-499-7928. There are other systems available to you too, so research this site and try a few to find the one right for you.
Visitation is Mon thru Fri 7pm to 9:30 and Sat and Sunday and Holidays 8am to 11am and 1pm to 4pm. It goes much smoother if you are registered. Once registered, you will recieve a packet with information about visitation. What is allowed and what isn't.
You can write as often as you like. Photos in good taste are allowed and they can purchase albums to keep them in. Any items they recieve must be pre approved and come from the Manufacturer or a commercial distributor. There are many on line sites that will ship them for you. The address at the usdb is 1300 N Warehouse Rd,
Ft. Leavenworth, Ks 66027-2304
Address the letter with First and Last name. Your fiance should get the letter if he is at the usdb. Eventually you will get his number to add to the address.
I hope this helps you out. The guys are taken care of. They don't tolerate any abuse from inmates or guards. They have a good Guard Commander that the guys seem to like. The food could be better, but they don't go hungry. He will eventually have an opportunity to be assigned to a job and earn some money. Don't dispair. I know this seems like a huge cloud, but it will pass and the sun will shine again. This site has been so helpful for me. I just have a little trouble getting around it. So, know you are not alone and please feel free to email me privately if you would like./

Well I was incarcerated at the USDB from 1991 till i was paroled in 1995. aLTHOUGH THE OLD PRISON OR "THE castle" has been closed i can probably still provide you with a few details since some things just never change.

Overall the military prison is non violent although violence can occure. in all my dealings with cadre and other prisoners. I never encounted any violence myself. I was assigned to 7wing and remained their for 2 years then was transfered to MIO custody in 6wing. after a short stay in "the love boat" I was given MIN custody and moved to building 465. once at Min custody crews of one guard and 7 inmated would go outside the walls and perform lawn maintenance on the base.

most guards do not treat you as the enmey as I have read in fact while I was their most of the guards treated you ok as long as you didi the same for them. its all about respect. many of the guards are very young MP's
The new prison is afew miles north of the old castle. and is more of a pod dezign. it only houses about 500 inmates as opposed to when I was in their were about 1300 inmates
I server a full 4 years of an 8 year sentence and received parole. I compled my parole succesfully in 1999 and am married and now have three children.

remember all is not lost stay strong and write often. letters I received over the years kept me going. the hardest thing to overcome is the lonliness and it is imprtant for the convict to find something to occupy himself like reading or excercising

To anyone that was in while I was. ill still never forget the early 90's riot in may. what a long lackdown bro

I'd be happy to answer any questions you have concerning the prison. Ask here or feel free to send me a pm.

Cokorn, we actually have had small risings since then. I wasn't here or even in the military in the early 90's however.

There is a web site for the USDB. Try usacac.army.mil/CAC/usdb.asp
