:angry: :angry: Well I think today finally freaked me out. I have been going to see my Man for a little over 2 months now. I had only gotten to visit with him 2 times before he was wrongfully but in a program where he is in SEG and now a Level 1 status but still has his levels. Real confusing to me but maybe someone will understand and be able to explain to me. There are a couple of things I would like to know about. My man is in CCF in Cushing. He has been there for almost 5 yrs now. He has a parole hearing in Dec..But not sure it will really matter now. Unfortunately last month when he was in the gym he came back to his cell to found some guy in there that he was like dude get out. The guy left his cell and was found with a knife of some sort. So of course with all the drama going on there he was given a warning guilty by association. So that was cool he has been doing good lately. But a week later they come and tell him he is being transferred to a program called Thinking for a Change. Which was fine. But his counselor told him to back up and he did but unfortunately he had a cell refusal/program failure (he is not sure which if any). Which with all the bs going on it is understanding. Anyways when he refused that he was automatically sent to A Unit. Which is lockdown 1 hour a day out. Pretty much SEG.. He will be there until that program is done..Does this sound right.I know that he has not been given a decision about them yet.. They are still pending. But regardless I have only gotten to visit with him behind glass for the last month and a half. Which is difficult since I live over an hour away. BUt no less for about 3 weeks I have gone to visit but they have been getting the dog out to search me everytime. They don't search anyone else. I am like what the heck did I do..Anyways last week he was at my car when I came out. I guess he was looking for something..So I left he wrote down my tag number. But this week really topped it off..Not only can u hear them talk about everyone but he missed me going in but when I came out she called the police and dog & I was like is there a problem the lady was like yea stay put. A few minutes went by and he called and told her to go ahead and let me go. So I left the facility but as I topped over the hill there was a cop. Mind you I was not speeding or anything but he flipped a u-turn and proceeded to follow me all the way through town until I had actually left Cushing. I would be more than happy to let them search anything they would like if they would just tell me instead of making me feel like I am doing something wrong. I would just hate for anything to happen to keep me from seeing my BF. We have already had bad luck on visiting so far. It took about 18 weeks before I was approved then I went to visit 2 times before all the other drama happened. PLease feel free to give me some advice or something..It just bothers me that they have singled me out for some reason and I have no clue why..THANKS IN ADVANCE..:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Mine had thinking for a change, it was like a one or two day class or somthing like that as I recall. I have his certificate here but don't think it's specific.

Billy did Thinking for a Change too, it was a required program for him and it looks good to the parole board to have it I hear.

As for you being singled out, it sounds to me like, they suspect your man of drugs, quite possibly been told by some other inmates that he is a dealer and the you are his supplier, if he has made an enemy in there, they'll say anything to get you in trouble and/or to make themselves look good, it sounds to me like this is what has happened in your case and the cops are expecting to catch you doing something wrong, as of right now they've got no legal reason to do anything to you but if you make one wrong move, I have a feeling they are going to try to rip you apart. It just sounds like from what you've said that they are waiting for you to do something wrong. I could be wrong of course but why else would they get the dog out on you when you come if they weren't looking for drugs? Unfortunatly there isn't anything you can do about it but just wait until they decide that you are on the clean side and leave you alone. Good Luck.

YEP, what ever has been told or said about you or your love one, you'll have to go thru the steps until they change there minds.
Thinking for a change is a program about 4-5 weeks a couple hours a week class and he will earn 15 days good time to complete this class.

Ah, had to re-read the letters!!! Life skills was the short class, Thinking for a change was the 4 month class.........now I remember!!

Whoa and I thought they just didnt like me?!! Guess it's not so discrimitory after all-- sorry! Just know there is usually no rhyme or reason to why or what they do sometimes-- I hear stories like this natl from many friends not to mention around here. I know firsthand how frustrating it is. I'm the sort that if they think I'm up to something go ahead and search me - my car -take me in but don't just do it to intimidate me! Have a reason you feel confident enough about to do so- you know? Now where I go all of a sudden the dog has been out every weekend but it does not to appear to be a one person thing-- heck I'm on chemo with an aresonal of scripts some that they wouldnt like in my car and no problems... but having an extensive background in dog training for scent and schutzhund I can tell you it depends what they're training them to scent for, and with dogs like people it's apptitude, just because they are a certain breed does not mean they're suited for the work-- but a good one you are not getting anything by-- trust me-- all those little wivestales to throw off a dog--don't believe them!
Just hang in there and know you can certainly vent to me anytime! Best of luck!
