I have now 2 people very close at High Desert and if anyone would like to stay in touch help me out on info on the prison system in Susanville I would appreciate it. I have personal extensive experience at County level but not state. Serious inquiries will be responded to with my home email address. Good Luck and God Bless to all.:cool:

hi i got a husband in the reception center.he has been there for three months.i don't know if i have alot of information.iknow that this prison have a good doctor,because my hubby had medical problems.and they took good care of him.sometimes the mail is slow as a snail.your man will get 5 free envelopes to write to you.you can send him books and newspaper.pm me if you want to talk.i know it will be a lonely time for you,but God will help you through this hard time.but one thing it takes forever to get a release date.

they can get books of stamps again too

Can you tell me what's going on in Susanville? This is my problem my man told me that he was getting out 12-03-05 thn all of a sudden he was in the hole for a fight then he said he wasn't getting out until 2-03-06 now that date is almost around the vorner and he wrote me last week and said that they told him march 06 but when I called records, records said may 06 what the hell? is he playing? cuz he still wants me to send the dressout asap my friends tell me not to believe records because they are not allowed to give you their release date is this true or is he string me along? please help any info

I would believe him and not the record info. I would go ahead and send the dressouts ASAP. they will hold them until he is released. If he doesn't have clothes when he is released they will charge him like $50 from his gate money. for some of there clothes. my husband is at CCC next door, however, they do alot of the same BS. Everything is hurry up and wait.....but when they are ready you better be or else....you know they just try to break the inmate and anyone that is standing by him down. So with all that said. I would send the dressouts and then call his couselor to see if he will give youa date. Then wait to hear form him. Alsoif you are picking him up....you have to be there before 8:30 am or the will put him in the van....charge him and take him to SAC. I believe you must be approved to pick him up also....

Wifee1,
They are not allowed to give that information out until after the release date. I would call and talk to his counselor and find out what she/he says. Some of them can be helpful and some not. It doesn't hurt though to give it a try. Good luck!

How much will they charrge him if he has to get into the van for Sacramento?? And what exactly is gate money???

I think it is about $50. Gate money is the money that they charge youwhen you first get committed to CDC. This is the money that they give you when you are released. I thought that the state gave this to the inmates. I just found out that is actually the inmates money. Anyway, it is supposed to help you get home. It is $200.

Thank U Blessed, i appreciate the info.
