My husband used to be at Calico Rock now he is in Benton Work Release. He goes before the board in August but probably wont go home until Dec. What do you know about that new bill that was passed for emergency release of nonviolent offenders w/ less than a year left?

my man is locked up in Cummins and has been for about a year on a 12 yr. sentence. We are getting married in a few months and we have been together off and on since 2000. My honey is very well known and NOBODY messes with him!! Back in the day he used to run things on the street but look where that notorious position got him...nowhere!! Hopefully this will be the wakeup call he needs.....

My son is currently in Varner Super Max (18 month "special" program). He's done 6 years, not all in Varner Max, of the 11 years he must serve of the 70% law, enacted 1 year prior to his sentence. He was charged with 2 counts aggravated robbery. It was dope money and at the time he thought "big deal". He knows now what he did was wrong and is paying a debt to society. He is a changed young man, now 27 years old.

I watched and read some of the laws that were to be looked at during the Legislative Session pertaining to the 70% law for cyrstal meth convictions, by Mr. Ledbetter. Nothing for sure yet as far as I know. Ledbetter wanted to have them look had other charges too, like 1st time felons only doing 1/3 of the 70%. I emailed my Representative and Senator how I felt of Ledbetter's bills, what bravado he has to put those forth. And God only knows the State of Arkansas is broke because of it. I hear we may be finding the money for Drug Courts which we do not have yet. Hopefully it will come from letting some prisoners out that deserve it!

Thanks for listening to all that!

My husband is either going to be sent to pine bluff or oceola prison for manufacturing meth while on probation for the same thing. Im done with him for a husband, filed for a divorce but i still want to try to be his "friend" for support. We have 2 boys, ages 19 and 16. We have been married for almost 20 yrs. How do I cope? I have been left with all the bills, and responsibilities. I feel like im going to "loose it" sometimes. I work as an LPN at a local mental and acute drug facility and see what happens to families every day. It kills me to see that this is happening to me. Any suggestions??????

hayes2001wr
04-06-2004, 09:50 PM
Yes, My husband has had "several" labs in the last few years. I have been married to him for almost 20 yrs. He is the best husband you could ever have except for his addiction. He has lied and every thing you could imagine for the last couple of years. we have 2 boys ages 19 and 16. It's hard to believe he has done this to us again. Me and our oldest son even had him busted last year just to try to help him and save his life. This time, he was working at a good job, attending N/A meetings and then, he lied about getting fired, he was fired about 2 weeks before I found out. He lied to me about everything, acted like he was going to work and then, he got busted just down from our house. It was terrible. My youngest son was comming home from riding around up town with a friend and the cops would not let them through until the car , my car, was searched and they were both patted down. He, my youngest son, was humiliated. Well, needlest to say, he (my husband) was on probation at the time and now he is in jail with a $100,000 bond. Even his dad cant bail him out , like last time. In the past, we found components of meth labs in the attice, shed, under the house and under the front porch. The smarter we got, the smarter he got. I will go through my divorce this time, stronger than ever. If any one needs to ever talk, just pm me or email me. I would love to share stories, this is only a "touch" of what me and the boys have been through.......

hayes2001wr - I totally understand where you are coming from. My fiancee is in Cummins for Meth also. I have been with him off and on for 5 years. I have seen the ups and the downs. He finally got clean for the last year and a half before they finally sent him to prison. They waited 2 years before they finally charged him. He is a brittle diabetic and it has been a nightmare. I love him and am standing by him but, I don't believe I would be strong enough if he did this to me again. You hang in there and hopefully get comfort in knowing that you aren't alone. Terry has a 18 yr. old, a 16 yr. old and a 7 yr. old. "meth" is a tough battle to fight. If you need to talk at anytime feel free to PM me anytime. I have gotten lots of support from this site, and I am always here if someone needs me. I'll be praying for you.

My husband is at the Diagonistic (sp?) Unit in Pine Bluff. We have been married only a 11 months but we have been together for 4 years. We met while he was in prison. We were fortunate enough to be able to get married while he was on a 309. The clemency board just got his app for clemency Tuesday. We have a letter of support from the victim, the sherrif and the pros. attorney!
I am new to this board so if you have any questions please ask.
I guess I need to give a little info about my husband. He was sentenced to 15 years for agg rob. He has been in for 7 years. He was 17 when he commited his crime and in the USMC. He had no priors. He had a buddy with him that only got 30 months. My husband got 15 YEARS!!!:mad:
Anyway, thanks for letting me join your board!:D

I think what you are talking about is the enhanced sentence for habitual offenders. Has he been convicted of atleast 2 other felonies? If so, that could apply. Did his crime fall into the 70% rule? ie. murder, rape, manufacturing, etc.

My husband is in Tucker. He just got sent there Tuesday I believe. He violated his parole and got some new charges, but he hasn't went up on those new charges yet. He was supposed to go to court on his new charges Dec 6th, but they came and took him to Diagnostics on Nov 24. They did not go back and get him to take him to his court date. It's kind of a messed up situation. I need to call his lawyer and find out exactly what is going on, but I haven't had time yet.
Anyway.....blessed be everyone!

Hey! My husband is in Tucker RSVP, only been there for about a month! He isnt too crazy about the unit but he is doing what he has to do to get home! Visitation sux! We had a guard yell at us on my first visit to that unit because we were leaned over close to each other! (We were TaLKING) It was uncalled for!
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that my hubby is there!

hello, I would like to hear from others who have a loved one at Tucker Unit..my brother has been there almost a year. thanks :)

My husband was at Varner until he transferred to Mississippi County Work Release. He had applied and was denied. I figured it wouldn't hurt to write a letter to the Warden on his behalf, and it actually worked!! He gave my husband a second chance, and now we travel 2 hrs. on Saturdays instead of 6 hrs. (one way) to visit him from where we are in Kentucky! I was inspired by the postings on this website, so THANK YOU LADIES!!!!

Hello everyone! I have been on here for a little while, but have not introduced my self. My fiancee is in Osceola RPF. He has been in there a little over a week. He spent a month in Greene County Jail waiting to be transfered. He seems to be in a much better mood now that he has been transfered. I try to talk to him everyday, but the person's phone I use is wanting him to start calling only every other day. I miss him so much. I can't wait till I can go visit him again. I love him so much, and hate that his has to go through this. He is in there on a revocation of felony probabtion. I can not wait to have him back home with me again. I am trying to do everything I can to help him keep his spirits up. Thanks everyone for the advice I have been givin'. You all are great. Thanks again, JB's old lady!

It was a long wait at Brickeys (11 months) getting into general population, . . .two weeks in and he gets interviewed for the program at Tucker! Thanks God, and the powers that be. :thumbsup:

This will be a program he'll be able to be in until his PE/TE date. :D

Does anyone have any info/experience with this program? Thanks!

Any one who knows what the EPA (early release) is, and wouldnt mind explaining to me, I have no idea what it even is, other that she could possibly get out early due to overcrowding.

My HUSBAND is at Calico Rock. I was there with him until I was released in June. I was incarcerated 3 years and while I was in there, I did a thorough study on the system. Yall it is not easy being locked up and it's even harder when you are a homosexual.

I have plenty of information if anyone needs help. I am sure I can help with everything. I also have a few contacts in the system now. I rather be contacted by EMAIL: ataurusboy02@yahoo.com.

I don't know which is actually safer but there are a lot of them at Cummins and Varner so maybe safety in numbers?? Needs to keep his head down and his mouth shut wherever he is. Invisible is the best way to do time in AR.

Hi Karensugar1985,

My son was in the max for 4 years I believe. He knew his mouth got him in trouble. So he would have to start the 18 month program all over again, . . .eventually he saw some good ole' cellies getting out and knew he had to.

He did his exercises with any weights he could make, . . .did his aerobics by running in a circle, . . .he had certain days to do certain exercises, . . .you know a rountine he stuck by. Oh, . . .even ate the Kosher diet, . . .better for your heart.

Read every thing he could get his hands on, he could be a history teacher, wrote poetry, joined this poetry club for prisoners worldwide.

He was grateful after being in the worst and noisiest part of the max, when he got moved to another area that was quietier, . . .could hear the birds chirping outside his window.

It was hard though not getting to be outside, every, in the fresh air, . . .frackin' torture!

At times I wanted him to stay there, . . .more chance of survival, I think??

You know, . . .they get enough time, . . .and see that the path they were on, on the outside was the wrong path.

He knows he'll be a little weird (when he comes home) after doing so much time, . . .but he is doing O.K. in population now. Somehow he keeps his mind strong, . . .but he's had his moments wondering if he can keep his sanity.

I couldn't imagine.

Just keep loving him, . . .your son is at the same age that mine was in max, . . .I hope the best for you both. :grouphug:

my husband has not actually made it to prison yet. he is in the faulkner co jail (unit 1) awaiting trial. Faulkner co sucks. im sure most other places suck, too, but you know. he has met a few really cool people in there, but of course the guards are a pain. hes been in there for 7 months now. he is in solitary right now and has another week. hes already been in there for 1 week. the guards found an extra food tray in their cell. the guy that took it got 3 days. go figure. :blah:
anyway, im new here, and neither of us have ever had to deal with the legal system before. were trying to learn

My fiance is in Grimes. He gets his level one this Thursday and he had put in a request to transfer to Springdale work release. We are really hoping for this. If not that then he may request a 309 closer to his family. im in MO so if he gets closer to them he will be closer to me.

My husband used to be at Calico Rock now he is in Benton Work Release. He goes before the board in August but probably wont go home until Dec. What do you know about that new bill that was passed for emergency release of nonviolent offenders w/ less than a year left?

Hi, My name is Tisha, My boyfriend is at Benton County jail right now and knows someone who is at Benton work release in which he's wanting me to get a mailing address for. Can someone tell me how to locate this address so he can send a letter to an inmate there. :cool:

My sweetheart hasnt' gone to prison yet but he is in Benton County Jail & is facing time for sure for parole violation. I do have a question tho. I talked to him today and he made the comment about paroling out to me. I know basically what it is but I dont know what it intells.. What is involved & expected. Theres certain things I may or may not be able to do. And I wanted to know what is expected of me if I accept it. I figure he has about a year or so to do. His original sentence was 36 months in which he did 14 months previously so I know he'll probably go back for the remainder plus what ever he gets for the new charges. Can someone please explain this process a little bit to me. I'm new to this!

Mine is in the TVC in Malvern. Can't get any information on it or anything. Don't even know if he's okay. He was given only 62 days but it's still a long time because I'm 360miles away. 390 if you count the distance left to travel from where we usually stay to where he is now.

My fiance was transferred to Benton County Work Release. The look of it is a lot better. It does not even look like a prison. But the visitation sux cuz it is no contact. Only a kiss and hug when I first get there and right before I leave. He sits in a chair across from me and I can't touch him at all. But I guess this is the sacrifice for him getting a free world job and then eventually furloughs. He will be "job ready" Oct 28th. He's happy (or at least as happy as you can be in prison) there so thats what matters.

You're lucky though in some aspects. You get to see him. I can't see my fiancee until the last 2 weeks he is in Omega. I found that out today and it made my heart hurt even more. No special consideration for the distance I have to travel. I can't kiss my "Sunshine" until October. I want to cry, but oddly, I can't. Maybe I've cried all the tears I can? :sad&blue:

Yes I feel lucky that I get to go see him. I'm sorry you have to wait till Oct. but at least he is only doing 62 days. Mine is gone for at least 2 1/2 years. And that is if he gets out on his pe date. His sentence is 10 years.

I guess all of us have our luck in one way or another. I'm fortunate that we're less than 2 months from being together, but unfortunate because I won't see him until October 12th for a visit. You're fortunate that you get to visit, but won't have him home with you for a long time. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way. Sometimes my fingers get ahead of my brain and the words come out wrong. :eek:

Oh, its ok. I am just a little sensitive sometimes. This has been so very hard and i do find myself sometimes a little jealous of those that have less than a year to wait. And then I have to think of those that are waiting longer than I will have to. We all have our own individual struggles.

But I do understand how you feel. I didn't get to see him for the first 55 days he was gone. I saw him January 13 and didn't get to see him till March 7. That was the hardest part of it. And hopefully we wont ever have to go that long without seeing each other again. I drive 4 hours to get there and 4 hours home to see him. It's 230 miles from my home. But its worth every mile just to look into his eyes for a few hours and get those 2 kisses.

True, there are others on here who are waiting much longer than we are for our loved ones to be placed back in our arms. By the time I'm able to see my fiance again, it will be over 2 months. The last time I was able to kiss his face and hug him was August 9th. I won't know what that's like again until October 24th. While I'm allowed to visit him on the 12th of October, the visiting rules say only a brief hug at the beginning and a brief hug at the end. Other than that, I won't know what it's like to feel his arms around me until the 24th. He's almost 400 miles from where I live, and there's a chance that the weekend of the 19th is off because I'll have my little boy that weekend. We were already scrubbed for a visit on October 5th because it's just 1 day shy of the last 2 weeks that he'll be there. He arrived on a Monday. The 5th is a Sunday, so we were scrubbed for a visit by one day. Sometimes the system can be so cruel when it comes to family on the "outside." We're serving their time as well by being kept away from them and then given rules when we are finally allowed to be with them. I can understand the rules in some ways because it is easy for some people to take a visit to the extreme (like hiding behind a vending machine and getting it on), but there are others who are just longing to feel what it's like to be hugged or held once again after being away from them for so long. The PDA's that are more suitable for a motel room should be refrained from, especially in the presence of young children, but at the same time, when can a motel room be reserved? I know rules are there to be followed, and there are consequences for breaking them, but I have no intention of breaking them. I just want to see him again. That's all. It's been so long already.

Good luck with your struggle to find a normal balance during the time your guy is away, and I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll have him back much sooner. If you need anything, I'm here and you can always PM me. I pretty much live on this site. :D

How long will he be there? Mine was only given 62 days in Malvern at the TVC, and we're almost to the halfway point of him finishing it. The TVC has been REALLY hard to find information on.

i have no clue how long he will be incarcerated . . . and that is the hardest part. he was sentenced to three years on a probation revocation for domestic battering 3rd degree, a charge he caught in the summer of 2006. he was sentenced on july 14 and was moved to diagnostics on august 21. from there, he was sent to randall williams correctional facility in pine bluff on september 5. as of now, his jacket will be pulled on november 24. from there, it will be decided if he will be granted a parole hearing at a later time. adc's website says his pe/te date is 2-4-09, but who freaking knows. i talked to adc today and they said that was just the date that he is first eligible to come home and that he may or may not be granted parole. right now, i am scrambling to round up recomendation letters on his behalf to be put in his file so they will be ready for his pre-hearing on the 24th. why does all this crap have to be so confusing???? any advice on what i can do to help? also, is anyone else familiar with randall williams CF? it used to be called jefferson county jail/correctional facility, but was recently renamed and i can't seem to find anyone who is familiar with it.

I'm not familiar with it, I'm sorry to say. I'm not real familiar with the ADC or DCC at all. I think they make it confusing so that we have to rack our brains and SHOW that we truly feel our loved one can change or has changed. Either way, it hurts us because we're out here on the other side of the fence, but we're on the inside with them as well.
I'm sure someone will come along who can answer your questions about the facility your husband is in. The most I'm able to do is lend a listening ear <eyes?> for others. If not for my stumbling across this site, I'd be a mental case by now. there are ALOT of supportive people here.
