aliswifey 08-12-2003, 03:33 PM Thank you all so much for the warm welcome. I am so glad to have found this site, it gives me a place for me to come where I do not feel like an anomaly, because everyone here is going through a form of what I am. :) My husband and I have been together since 2000 and finally got married last September. He has been in and out of the system most of this time and this will be his last stay in the DOC facilities. He goes up for a jacket review in September and if he denied he will be there until next September. We are praying that he will get out soon, as we had our first child in July and he is dying to be here with of both of us. I am currently writing letters to the parole board and would appreciate any advice/help you could give me on that. Thanks again for the great welcome!!

jailhouserocker 10-08-2003, 12:24 AM My loved one is in Jess Dunn Correctional Center! I have a problem with their using Correctional in their name. Seems like the only thing corrected is the state's budget! What do you all think?
shortstuff_13 10-22-2003, 10:06 PM the history channel is doing Mcalester prison right this minute.Its called BIG HOUSE
shortstuff_13 10-23-2003, 12:50 AM The profile about the prison was pretty informative and really ugly but I learned things I didn't know before like they have 23 hour per day lockdown always. Then they turn around and have a big Rodeo once a year. Guess other prisons can send a ten man team to compete.Real life is stranger than any fiction I've ever read. It would be nice to know if the "HISTORY " channel is going to profile each facility and when. I wanted to yell to anyone with a person inside this facility to hurry come watch tv and then didn't know where to post that might catch the eye of anyone online. Sorry
ldysirois 10-24-2003, 01:02 AM My son is in Granite oklahoma I guess for awhile for once you get there they will fight you any way they can on a transfer.
ldysirois 10-24-2003, 01:10 AM My son is in Granite oklahoma I guess for awhile for once you get there they will fight you any way they can on a transfer.
Ok i see my mistake but don't know how to delete it I tryed and it won't let me YES I"M NEW GUYS
MommaHen 10-25-2003, 08:08 PM Depends on why you are wanting the transfer most places have a minimum time that you have to stay there or you have to be below a certain number of days or eligible for a lower level transfer. all and talk to the case manager and get the answers you need if you cant find them out from the website.

MommaHen 11-04-2003, 07:33 PM misirloublue Hello and welcome to the group I go tto meet and know several different ladies from your part of the world when my hunny was there at OSP. If you ever come visit please check into the post in this forum about the hospitality house it is a life saver especially for the ladies from overseas.

Thank you so much for your welcome and the help offered! I will sure get back to this, it all seems to be so unreal and difficult sometimes... Life can be a bitch, right?!
wannamae 11-04-2003, 11:28 PM Hi and welcome. And yes life can look grim but it is nice to have a place to come to where others understand and can know what it is we are going thru.
My husband is in McAlester also.

wannamae 11-08-2003, 05:36 PM My husband was transferred to Lawton Correctional Factility.
With in tthis past week from OSP in McAlester.
Skunkette 11-08-2003, 05:38 PM That is great. Community Centers are a good place to be if you have to be in. Congrats & enjoy your visits.
wannamae 11-08-2003, 05:42 PM Oh really. I have never been there and this was a suprise because I just had one visit about a week ago at McAlester.
Im in Ark and the drive will be longer and will have to make it an overniter.
He did explain that m/o had to be mailed seperatly from a letter.
What do you know about the other rules and such.
And can you explain exactly what a Community Center is?
Thanks
Skunkette 11-08-2003, 06:16 PM My fiance' is at Muskogee Community Correctional Center and I dont have to send money orders separate. At Muskogee it is like being in your own back yard. No fences well real short ones. I can take him all kinds of chips, snacks, clothes (no red, blue, or black shirts) and not logos on the shirts. Cases of pop, cigarettes, coffee, coat, boots, well right now I cant think of everything that I have taken him. They can have green money there (at Muskogee) but it has to be sent in as a money order and they cash it for him and give him the money. I can go in there with green money in my pocket also. Many years ago he was at Lawton and I can remember visiting him a few times but not many. Cant really remember a whole lot about it except I thought it was like visiting in a park. At Muskogee I can take food and an ice chest. It is soooooooo nice. Once they get you signed up for work then Monday thru Friday you go out to work for 8 hours a day. They take them to the smoke shop to buy cigarettes cheap and they go to the Dollar General store. They just do a lot of neat things like that. Nothing like being behind the walls. The thing at first that got Stephen the most was the fact that he could have money and walk up to the pop or candy machine and drop in the money and buy what he wanted. On my first visit I left him some quarters but as soon as I got back home I mailed a money order because I didnt want him to get caught with cash when there wasnt a money order ever sent in. Well hope all this helps and hope that Lawton works like Muskogee. I think if I were you I would call and ask what you can bring first or actually he will probably call you and tell you some things to bring. Have Fun!!! <wink> <wink>
MommaHen 11-08-2003, 08:17 PM Wanna It seems our hunnys are destined to be close to each other HA HA!! Terry is at Walters CCWC which is hosted by Lawton CC and they have the same rules so I can help NO the money order does not have to be in a seperate letter but the name and address on the envelope has to match the one on the money order. ( I made the mistake signed the Mo my name and all that then when I addressed his letter I used his last name with mine like we do all the time and they sent it back because the names didnt match) Community has been pretty good to Terry so far but one thing he has had trouble adjusting to and I am sure James will too since he has been in so long is there is alot of Short timers and first timers there and they play alot of dumb games. They have these skinners at Walters ratting each other out and pulling all kinds of dumb crap. Sneaking out getting drunk which means they go back in for escape charges and stupid stuff like that. Hey if you ever do get down this way to visit before Jan give me a heads up and maybe we can meet for a coke or coffee some where around there since I make the trip every weekend!
wannamae 11-08-2003, 09:01 PM Ok Thanks Mommahen.
One thing he said is that they dont feed him enough. Yes I bet it will be an adjustment for James.
I was planning to go beack to visit in McAlester this week. I would of been pissed!
freckledgrl 11-08-2003, 10:17 PM Wannamae & all ~ Am I reading this wrong? My guy is in Lawton Correctional Facility and it is a regular medium security prison with barbed wire and all. If I'm wrong about where your man is wanna sorry for interrupting :) If I'm right, I'll be back online tomorrow and can tell you about the facility, visits, calls, m/o's, mail stuff, etc...
PM me or post :)
Freckles
MommaHen 11-09-2003, 06:33 PM I may have read it wrong there is two different ones at Lawton the regular prison one and there is a community corrections facility that is lower than a minimum.
Lawanna which one is he at?
Oh yeah Terry is always complaining about the lack of food but luckily since he is at Waters CC Work Center he gets to go shopping every week and I can send in Packages once a month with food and stuff.
freckledgrl 11-09-2003, 07:36 PM Momma, she let me know he's at the regular prison. I never knew there was a community center in Lawton too. Add Ft. Sill into the mix and that's a very busy little town :)
I'm working on getting info together and had a post all ready to go, but I got the dreaded "too many images" warning and lost everything I had wrote. I only had 3 smilies in it, so I must have just typed too much for the poor thing to handle. I'll work on it tomorrow again and post it in a new OK thread so we don't clog this one up. A lot of our guys are getting sent to Lawton so it'd probably be good to have the info in an easy to find searchable area anyway.
Freckles
Skunkette 11-10-2003, 07:22 AM If he is at the regular prison in Lawton instead of the Community Center it is a totaly different story. I hear Wakenhut runs the prison there and it aint nothing nice. But if it is community, then its great. Best of Luck.
MommaHen 11-10-2003, 01:26 PM Yeah the regular prison is private ran and from what I hear is not a good place to be. but yeah there is a community corrections center ran by DOC itself just past the airport. then there is the facility my hunny is at that is hosted by the Lawton CC which is just like 20 miles away and falls under there jurisdiction.

Hi Everyone My Sweet Husband is in Mack Alford Correctional Ctr. in Stringtown. Anyone know anything about that place. And when can he make calls home & have visitors.
:confused:
My husband was there for a whole year. He can call as soon as his Numbers have been entered. You can go visit him the Saturday or sunday after he gets there, if his visitation card came with him. Call and ask them in visitation to make sure. You will love that yard if he is on minimum. Dont know about the med-max side.
TxRenee 01-27-2004, 12:47 PM jims,
Sure wish my guy was at stringtown...its closer to Dallas :) Keep us posted what the visits are like! :)
lafngator 01-30-2004, 10:38 PM They're pretty laid back at Stringtown on the min. side. I visited the yard for a little over a year. You can sure get your share of kisses there if you be careful. I've seen a lot go on there.
bikerbaby45 01-31-2004, 10:27 AM Just wondering if anyone has a man at the same prison as mine. :)

lafngator 02-26-2004, 08:38 PM So can anyone tell me of a lower sec./halfway house that gives weekend passes? That would be interesting, my fiancee is in NOCC. Anyone elses there?
FollowinMyHeart 03-03-2004, 01:29 AM My boyfriend has been in prison for longer than I care to think about. During that time, he's been to Conners, Crabtree, Harp, OSP (regular population), OSP H-unit, and Great Plains, as well as a private prison out of state. I have visited at all of these facilities with the exception of the one out of state.
TxRenee 03-03-2004, 09:56 AM Welcome to PTO!!!
FollowinMyHeart 03-03-2004, 11:42 PM Thanks for the welcome TxRenee
jennandguice 03-09-2004, 04:49 PM My finace is at Healtdon Comm Work Center, he was in Mack Alford On the mininum side. He loves it there. He gets to handle real money which is a big thing to him that we never really think anything about. He goes up for parole April 5th, and will be out in May regardless. Can't wait!!!
lafngator 03-09-2004, 07:47 PM Hey jennandguice I know where that is. I'm from around that area. How long has he been there? How far are you from him? Do you get to go often? Are they pretty laid back there? You don't have much longer to wait til he comes home. How long have ya been together? I know it seems like I'm asking 101 questions, sorry.
TxRenee 03-10-2004, 12:02 AM Howdy Jenn and Welcome to PTO!! Can't wait to see some more posts from you :)
jennandguice 03-10-2004, 07:11 AM Thanks a lot and i'm pretty sure you will :)

TxRenee 03-13-2004, 07:11 AM rdsgirl...Welcome to PTO!! Glad you found us....I look forward to getting to know you :)
goatsmiles 03-16-2004, 06:56 PM My husband is currently at Lawton. He's a lifer. We've been married 12 years+. He's been incarcerated 24 years. He nearly died last June after his heart ruptured--leaving him with just 1/2 a heart. This past January, doctors removed 1/2 his left lung with cancer. GOD is the reason Paul is alive today. I can be reached by PMing me and asking for email address*email address removed by renee*
Blessings, Trish
goatsmiles 03-16-2004, 06:58 PM That's Lawton, Oklahoma, USA! But, I live nearer to Boley and Holdenville. Blessings,

Waitin4him 03-31-2004, 10:31 PM Can Anyone Tell Me What Diamondback Watonga Is Like?
TxRenee 03-31-2004, 11:00 PM Waitin....Tony has told me Diamondback is a hard prison in Oklahoma. The last we heard they had moved all Oklahoma inmates out and had only inmates from other states..I will try and find out for you asap!
Calis How long has your hubby been at Wackenhut? Tony did some time there too.
caliswife 04-01-2004, 08:41 AM That's right. There is a community center in lawton, my husband was there quite a few yrs. ago. But yes, Lawton Correctional Facility also known as Wackenhut is private and unfortunately that is where my husband currently is now, has been there for a year now and i'm trying so hard to get him out of there. It is not a very good place, he is miserable there.
caliswife 04-01-2004, 08:44 AM Ok Thanks Mommahen.
One thing he said is that they dont feed him enough. Yes I bet it will be an adjustment for James.
I was planning to go beack to visit in McAlester this week. I would of been pissed!wannamae- yes, you do have to send $ seperate; you have to send it to the trust fund; i have the address if you need it;let me know

GBLF2005 04-15-2004, 06:04 PM Can Anyone Tell Me What Diamondback Watonga Is Like?
Diamondback is not a good yard. And it is not because of the inmates. It has to do with the staff, I am a former corrections officer there and trust me the staff treats the inmates like they are trash. I was allways under investigation because I was nice to the inmates. Is your loved one an Oklahoma inmate or what state is he doing time from?

Hi GBLF2005 Glad you stopped by. Nice to have someone from the "other side" here. Are you still an officer? Or still at Diamondback? Welcome and God Bless You!!
GBLF2005 04-16-2004, 02:05 PM Thanks Skunkette, I am no longer an officer. But I do have friends that still work at Diamondback. Any questions that people have I would be glad to answer.

Skunkette 05-17-2004, 03:36 AM Welcome to PTO. I believe you will be an asset to us. I think there has been some people asking about Cimarron. It's all nice when we can share the informantion we know. Again welcome and we are all here for you.:)
Cimarron Correctional Facility in Cushing, OK (CCA - private prison)
praizewarrior 05-17-2004, 11:12 AM Yes it is. And thank you everyone for such a warm welcome. I am totally overwhelmed! I am reading the posts and trying to figure out how to navigate the site - so please bear with me if I post in a wrong board.
My son has been at Cimarron since August of last year - one of those moved from Diamondback. Cimarron is a mini-Diamondback in physical structure. The guards there are much nicer to the families than at Diamondback. In visitation, my son is allowed to get up from the table and actually look in the vending machines to see what he wants. They also do not stand over you and try to find something wrong you are doing so they can dismiss you from visitation, hence, the visits are more enjoyable and I have yet to see any behavioral incidents while there (guess there must be some validity in the statement that people will give you what you expect of them....) The visitation room is very small and the only accomodation for children are the board games which can be brought to the tables for use. This is about all I can think of right now. I will be glad to share any info that I have about Cimarron.

bikerbaby45 05-18-2004, 11:11 AM Hi, TexRenee, I know what you mean about Oklahoma County, that is the county that my hubby was sentenced at, and spent almost a year in the county before he was sentenced to 45 years for 1st degree Burgulary. They are worse than Tulsa county! I hope your baby gets out of there soon too! Good Luck! Carol

Shadowgirl 07-22-2004, 08:20 PM Hello frecklegrl,
Yes it is a good prison from what I'm told. They have a lot of programs to get involved in as well. I know that they have a great sports program and will have some men participating in the rodeo this year. They have an ice cream shop too. My friends work at it selling it. They do have high costs on the collect calls. 30 min. for about $15 or so. If you want to know more please feel free to pm me and I'll tell you all I know.

Long story, anyway, i am hoping to find some from arizona that have loved ones at diamondback or that were at diamondback, to chat with. I need to find out how extensive diamondback does research for when you get on their phone lists. also wanted to find out a little more about parole. Anyway, hi and hope to hear from someone soon. thanks
Todd'sWife 09-01-2004, 01:09 AM Hi, this is my first post. I am glad I found this site.
My husband is in Jess Dunn in Taft, Ok. Does anyone know anything about their visitation policies?
He has been at Conners for about 6 months but they just moved him to Jess Dunn last week and I have not found out anything about it yet. Also, how long does it take to get their from Tulsa?
Thanks..
Todd'sWife 09-01-2004, 01:14 AM For those that have loved ones in LARC in Lexington, You need to know that processing takes 6-8 weeks before they are moved to their "permanent" location. Then after that they can be moved at any time. Dont get too used to them being at one place for too long. They trade for bed space all the time.
Todd'sWife 09-01-2004, 01:15 AM You just have to hope they get moved some place closer to you or not farther away. Its the best you can hope for. Mine was in Hominy at Conners and then moved to Taft. It is farther away.
Skunkette 09-01-2004, 06:21 AM Hi Todd's Wife.... Welcome to PTO. Well I just came from Jess Dunn and am now at Muskogee Community Center. Lets see the number of hours you get to visit depends on there level. To me its seems a lot like visiting at Conners. The usual dress code, $20. in quarters, clear see thru bag, only 1 pack of cigarettes & a lighter, no cards or dominoes (they have some there). PM me or post again if you have any other questions. I still have there visiting policy. From Tulsa it take about an hour to get there depending on which side of Tulsa you come from. They have 2 dogs there that they bring out very often to sniff your crotch. They love using those dogs. They have some officers that are pretty good and then again they have their jerks. I visited at Conners for years BUT the last time I was there was back in 1999 so things there may (I do believe I heard something) have changed quite a bit on visiting. Well let me know if you need or want to know anything else. Again Welcome to PTO.

lafngator 09-01-2004, 06:33 PM Todd'swife, I believe that Jess Dunn is at Musk. if I am right then it shouldn't take you long from Tulsa at all. Maybe about 45 min. or so. Good luck
Todd'sWife 09-02-2004, 12:04 AM Thanks for all the replies.
I work 3-11 M-F, so I seem to get online after work and later in the evening. I bet there are not that many people on this site at that time, so I am sure you wont see a lot of responses from me until later in the night.
I would like the visitation policy for Jess Dunn. I wonder how long it takes to get thru the door. My Dad was in a Federal Facility in Texas and it took forever to get processed thru and get to see who you came for. Like 2 hours. It seemed like at Hominy it was not too bad. I always hated David L.Moss. That was an eternity. God that place is awful!!!!!!!
Okay thats all for now, talk to you all later and hope everyone gets their parole wishes and all their dreams come true.
T
Skunkette 09-02-2004, 08:39 AM Hi Todd'sWife You can only visit once per week. Like if his mother or someone else visits him on Saturday you also have to visit at the same tiime. An inmate can not have another visit on Sunday. Visting is from 8-4. It doesn't take long to get thru. I always got there at 8 sometimes there would be no one ahead of me and sometimes there might be a few. It really doesn't take that long. You sign in at the door and show your ID and such and then you go into the visiting room and tell an inmate working in there and sign in. Then the inmate goes and tells another visiting room officer to call your loved ones and then you wait for them to come down. I think waiting on them to come down was the longest wait. Their visitor information paper is 3 pages long and they have another there for proper attire. They are on the desk when you first go in & show your ID. If there is anything else specific that you would like to know please don't hesitate to ask. Are you going to visit this weekend? Hope all your visits are pleasant ones. Watch out for any inappropriate touching because there is this one guard that hangs at the windows inside visiting and watches out on the yard. Hes not a very nice guy. There is one woman guard in the visiting room and she will be "real nice" to you. She has short black hair. Well maybe just if your cute. LOL.
Thanks for all the replies.

praizewarrior 09-02-2004, 11:24 PM Heya ToddsWife. My son is at Jess Dunn and I am going to visit him this week-end.
Todd'sWife 09-03-2004, 12:31 AM Hey Praizewarrior,
Where do you live? Your location says Oklahoma, but does not mention a City. It would be cool if we could ride down together. Save us both some money and a long boring trip alone. Let me know PM me or something. I still need to call down there though because he just got there last week and I am not sure if they are ready for him to have visitors or not. Does everyone there have the same day for visitation? I know at DCCC some where Sat and some where Sun. I am obviously digging for info. I hate to have to call down there and ask a million questions.
T
Todd'sWife 09-03-2004, 12:39 AM Oh and he does not have anyone on his visitation list except for me:yay: . Both his parents and all of his Grandparents have passed away. He has an ex- but she cant come see him because of me being listed as his wife :yay: . All of his siblings are more screwed up than him and cant get their heads together enough to see him, or they have records :cuffs: and cant get approved. I am the only one he can hope to see. I am his ONLY HOPE.. He knows this too. I AM HIS SUPPORT system. He has noone else. The only two people that can help him now is GOD and me. Mainly GOD. I have tried and you see what I accomplished. :banghead:
Skunkette 09-03-2004, 04:38 AM Its what ever day YOU want and it doesnt have to be the same day. Just go on Sat. or Sun. My isn't that nice of DOC.
Hey Praizewarrior,
Where do you live? Your location says Oklahoma, but does not mention a City. It would be cool if we could ride down together. Save us both some money and a long boring trip alone. Let me know PM me or something. I still need to call down there though because he just got there last week and I am not sure if they are ready for him to have visitors or not. Does everyone there have the same day for visitation? I know at DCCC some where Sat and some where Sun. I am obviously digging for info. I hate to have to call down there and ask a million questions.

praizewarrior 09-03-2004, 11:12 PM ToddsWife - I live in Pauls Valley, which is about 35 miles south of Norman. It was a good idea anyway. This is my first visit there. I was going to go two weeks ago but some things came up and I was unable to go. So, I am pretty excited. My son told me tonight that I can visit for 8 hours if I want to and that he hears the visitation is a lot less rigid and more family friendly than the previous places he has been.
Skunkette: ROTFLOL!!!! I'll be sure to watch out for the "friendly guard".
Todd'sWife 09-03-2004, 11:33 PM Yeah right "friendly guard" thats a laugh. Haven't seen one yet. Well, have a good visit, I cant go this weekend anyway. I will get there eventually though.
Have fun.
praizewarrior 09-05-2004, 11:29 AM Back from my visit with my son yesterday.... The guards there were very nice. They did not look at us nor treat us as if we were inmates. They also treated the inmates there with respect. And though the COs were watchful of the visitations, they did not stare at everyone as if they were looking for a reason to end visitations. And I might add, the inmates and visitors responded in kind Probably what impressed me the most were the signs posted about the room that stated children learn by example and to monitor your actions. That is applicable inside and outside of prison. On a scale of 1-10 for atmosphere and courtesy to inmates and visiting families, I would give Jess Dunn Correctional Facility in Taft Oklahoma a 9 1/2 ( no one is perfect :) ).

hiskuuipo 10-07-2004, 01:38 PM I worked at DBCF and met someone there to, Hawaiian, I would love to talk to you if you are interested...I had to move because of my relationship with him and I am needing someone to talk to about it.
My boyfriend is in a CCA facility in Cushing Ok (Cimarron Correctional Facility). He was at Diamondback, another CCA Facility. I worked there and that is how we met. I would love to talk with other family and friends of people that were at Diamondback before OK DOC shipped all of the Oklahoma's out.:wave:
MaddiMar 10-18-2004, 04:36 PM For those that have loved ones in LARC in Lexington, You need to know that processing takes 6-8 weeks before they are moved to their "permanent" location. Then after that they can be moved at any time. Dont get too used to them being at one place for too long. They trade for bed space all the time.
Well this is a quick question.........My love one was in California>> Now TRANSFERED TO OKLAHOMA TRANSFER FACILITY....who knows where he will be sent.. IS this correct to transfer an inmate out of state??? no family whatsoever....
freckledgrl 10-22-2004, 12:51 PM Hi Bayleigh! It's good to meet another Lawton member. If you ever have any questions there are many of us here :)
MaddiMar, I don't know if you got an answer to your question in another forum, but is your guy in the Federal system? I don't know much about that if he is, but I'm pretty sure a lot of them or all of them go through the Oklahoma Federal Transfer Center before being placed at a Federal Facility. Either way, I'm sorry he's been moved so far away :(

samsfi 03-18-2005, 03:37 AM Talawanda in McAlester. sorry i think i accidently posted this twice-
i'm new to the computer thing!!
My fiance was just moved there a few weeks ago after being- well about everywhere-
Hoping to be approved for visit next weekend.
Anyone know anything about the facility?
pm me if you do
Thanks
freckledgrl 03-18-2005, 11:00 AM Sams, you're getting this computer thing down great! I don't know about min. security prisons or Talawanda, but where my husband has been it took a month or two to get approved. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you :)
lafngator 03-18-2005, 01:36 PM If he just moved there he should get a 30 day visit from anyone that was currently on his visiting list from the previous facility. I could be wrong, but my finace' as moved 3 times and I've never had to get re-approved for visits. I know sometimes their visiting list doesn't always travel with them when they get moved either.
billysbaybee200 03-20-2005, 01:56 AM I know this post is old, but is your son still there by chance? My hubby is there and has been for 12 years.
My son is in LARC in Lexington okla.
billysbaybee200 03-20-2005, 02:09 AM Did anyone actually get to stay at LCC? My hubby has been there for 12 years, he is one of the few lucky ones who has never moved since he got placed the first time. I'm wondering if there are any others in here with loved ones at LCC.
lashinglysa 03-20-2005, 07:39 AM My boyfriend is at Comanche County Detention Center.......still in county jail.....
freckledgrl 03-21-2005, 12:05 AM Billy's the LARC part of Lexington is considered separate from the regular Lexington Prison side. All of our guys had to go through LARC but most were then transferred to other prisons. I don't think I've heard of anyone else on here right now who's loved one stayed in Lexington....but that doesn't mean they aren't here in the shadows. I wish you luck :)
Welcome Lashinglysa :wave:
billysbaybee200 03-21-2005, 01:20 AM Yeah I realize it's seperate and that they all go thru LARC, I just am finding it hard to beleive that with all the gals I chat with that no one else has a loved one at LCC, there are several at Harp though. I know that I've only had experience with 2 facilities in Oklahoma and I love LCC and think it is one of the best from what I've heard from the guys too, they say that LCC and Harp are the 2 best ones around and that Granite and Lawton are the 2 where you do NOT wanna go.

freckledgrl 03-21-2005, 01:54 AM Billy's I can agree with ya there...lol. My guy was at Lawton for almost 2 years and we're at Harp now. It's like night and day! I'm hoping he can keep his nose clean and stay there for most of his sentence :D
I'll be hoping that others sneak out to say hello to ya!

aymie 06-28-2005, 04:33 PM That's right. There is a community center in lawton, my husband was there quite a few yrs. ago. But yes, Lawton Correctional Facility also known as Wackenhut is private and unfortunately that is where my husband currently is now, has been there for a year now and i'm trying so hard to get him out of there. It is not a very good place, he is miserable there.
it is one of the worst in the state my olman has been there a year also and I hope he will be moved by the end of the year
