Anybody have loved ones in Mid-state or Marcy?
If so post some information or experiences on this thread or pm me.

I Don't Know About Mid-state, But Marcy Isn't So Bad. The Waiting Time To Get Into The Visit Room Is Ok. As Long As You Get Your Number In The Trailer By 7am, You Will Be In The Visit Room By 8:30 - 9am. The Co's Don't Bother You Much. They Pretty Much Sit And Bullshit With Each Other. From What I Hear, There Aren't Much Better Places They Can Be.

I would like to find out the visiting times here also what inmates can and cannot have. also is there a dress code.

This is a mediumand has visits on weekends from 9 to 3 or 3:30.

Pretty laid back visit room as well as outisde area when the weather is nice.

Normal package room procedures apply as well as dress code.

My Boy Friend Is In Mid State. He's In S-block (solitary) So He Gets Night Visits. The Co's Are Aight. There Not Too Uptight. The Dress Code Is The Same As For Most Jails. The Snacks There Are Type Cheap. Pm Me For Anything.

Night visits? interesting, what are the times? is that only for S block?

The night visits are from 5-9. They are only for the s-block inmates. Most of the imates get regular table style visits. But if they are level 1 solitary it's through a partition.

My honey was in both... but only for the box. I know the box visiting wasn't bad at all so I am guessing regular pop isn't the worst.

GOOD LUCK! :)

I am wondering if anyone can give me details on Mid-State Correctional. I have a friend (penpal) in there , what does it mean he is in "the box" for another 9 months? He states he has a cellmate, so I don't think he means solitary. He has a total of 18 more months to go. What is Mid-State like? I know its a minimum, but, what is it "really" like? What is the visiting like? I saw the links, a few are older though. Can I visit if I have a criminal record myself? 2 misdemeanors, 1 felony that is sealed? Thanks so much for any help.

hi,

this is all I know...Good Luck!

Visitation Hours: Mid State is about 51/2 hours from nyc. Its o.k. the C.O.'s will get on your nerves. They want you to keep your legs under the table and hands on top of the table. The inmate can not go to the microwave to fix your food for you, you have to do it. the tell you where to sit- But ladies be careful on what you wear to this facility they are known for not allowing you to go on ur visit for something you have on. so keep it very casual.

i go to mid-state...i have friend there. well if he's in the box then u can only go saturday nights 5p-9p visits. even when he's in the box there he can have a cell mate. visits for the box are ok. u sit at a square table with the inmate on one side and u on another. you can hold each other and kiss but keep it in check cause they will come over and say something. make sure u and ur friend keep your legs under the table and hands on top though...they'll (CO's) jump up quick and come to ur table to say something to u if u dont. u can go to the vending machines and get food and something to drink but the inmates have to stay seated. the only time they can get up is to go to the bathroom. oh! and make sure u bring quarters because the change machine runs out of them quick! if they're nice they'll open up the other room so people can get change, but if they dont then u better start asking other people!! lol. the CO's there are ok...i havent run into a problem yet. well i hope i helped. anything else just ask!

Thank y'all so much

You will be able to visit with your record.

to Garyfriends,

I been visiting JAsdon at Mid-state since January. (box visits.) He just now getting transfered to Elmira this month, so if you have any questions just pm me darling:p :p :p :) :D :D :p :p :p :cool:

I'm pretty sure Elmira is where Matthew just got transferred from. Not sure why he was transferred. I try to avoid the subject of prison altogether and keep it light with him. He complains about the heat something fierce. I can tell he is very restless in there. Bless his heart.

I was wondering if anyone new anything about mid-state. My boyfriend is going to be getting moved there and i would like to get to know how things are there? about where is it? and anything else would help. Thank you

I Moved this here so you can read above...

i finally found him about two days ago so i sent him out a letter he was transfered to mid state correctional facility which is great news b/c thats only four hours away from me and two hours away from his mother unlike when he was in cape vincent that was almost 8 hours away ( at least on a prison gap ride) now im on a mission to find out about this facility that he was transfered to other than the few threads on here i havent gottan much so if anybody knows anything please feel free to let me know.
i will like to know about the visiting day and hourse specificly for box visits

Its great that you found him and even better that he is closer to you and his mom...:)

Glad you found him!

I'm so happy for you! I know how you felt I went thur the samething.
Someone on here helped me find where he was and then the same day his lawyer sent me an email telling me where he was. Wishing you the best. Take care

My Honey is in Midstate.I visit on sat or sun I really don't know about box visits.But feel free to pm if you want to know something else

My man has been in mid-state for about a year or so!

My husband is at Mid State, pM me

merged Mid-State posts ;)

i posted on the 1st page about s-block visits at mid-state.

now about Marcy:
my man is there and it's ok. the waiting to get into the visit is something horrible! i usually get there by 7 and dont get into the visit room till 10-10:30. BUT if i go late (say 11:30) i get in quick, no line, no waiting. crazy huh? well neways....the visits are ok - CO's usually walk around a lot and say things to the inmate quick if they see something they dont like (either come to the table or call them up to the desk). the inmates cant go up to get food or nething with u, they can only get up for pictures and to use the bathroom. usually the vendors for the machines come and fills them up twice during the visit. at that time NO ONE can go up to the machines. if u need change u can get it from the vendor after he's done, BUT he only changes $10 and up. for nething else he points u to the change machine. ummm.....visits usually end at 3, but they cut them short sometimes, depends on the CO. i think that's all for now, but if neone has questions feel free to PM me :)

hey girls I am going up to mid-state this weekend and I am taking the prison gap bus there..... somebody tell me if they are going up this week with the gap.....
and is this the best way to go??????

Anybody took public transp. to a box visit at midstate? my rockhead hubby just got transferred there - can you tell i'm not happy about this night visit biz. What is that all about? I think he said Flamboyant - which i despise - will get me there.
Anyone know of anything else from the city?
What about packages? Books? this is not a tv facility i guess?

Thanks,
