HI everyone,
My baby went on the draft today going to a medium, he's going to Fishkill, anyone have any info on visits, packages, how long does it take to get married their anything would be very helpful:) Thanks in advance!!!

Visits are only on weekends. I am guessing he is not going to fishkill work-release. Packages are pretty good. Guards are mostly respectful if you respect them. It is right across the highway from Downstate C.F. It is about 1:45-2:15hrs from the city. Hope this helps. Also, as far as I know, you will have to start the marriage process over, because of a new town clerk and a new justice of the peace and you need permission from the warden at fishkill again.Take care.

Get there very early for visits. The line starts forming about 6:30 AM. Processing is not too bad. There's no shelter in case of bad weather, so come prepared.

Thank you ladies for the info, How about the programs? How often do you ladies visit? Is there anything I can pass on to my fiancee about the facility to beware of? and How is the FRP?

I heard it was a nice facility and trailers are ok too, the best part is, it is close, only one hour away..... :)

hi mrs. g
I've been praying for that now my travel is back to 8 hrs I'll be visiting more often.

sorry, I meant one hour from NYC, forgot you are in NC....

Does anyone have the outgoing phone number used for collect calls from Fishkill. I'm trying to help someone resolve and issue with MCI and they need the number the call is coming from in order to deal with it.

Any help you all have is appreciated!!

You would have to call the prison or look at the actual phone bill.

Thank you, I have been provided the information needed!

I'm not new to PTO, being that I have friends in prisons all over the great USA, but I have not been particularly active in the NY forum (sorry) ... I do have a friend that is in Fishkill in Beacon.

So, I thought I'd finally pop in and say HI officially *wave* and hope to meet others with friends/loved ones in NY for mutual support, encouragement, ideas, etc.

Welcome again!!

hi, and welcome to NY :)

:wave: Nice to have to stop in to visit NY for a minute. :thumbsup: Hope to keep seeing you around!:yay:

Welcome!!!NY is the best!!!!(I'm biased though!!LOL!!)Take Care,B

Thanks for the welcome! I hope to be visiting New York by Xmas to visit a friend there. Look forward to learning a lot here!

Does anyone have any tips, suggestions on where is the best place to stay when visiting the Fishkill Correctional Facility in Beacon?

Any hospitality houses, hostels or cheap motels?

Any help is greatly appreciated :)

You will be within minutes of a major overdeveloped Miracle Mile situation (Rt 9) and there is every chain motel in creation, I know that much!

Does anyone know anything about
Fishkill Correctional Facility
My husband was transferred there today and I am hoping that is where he will stay, since it is close to home. Trying to look up information on it, but haven't gotten any luck. Any info will be greatly appreciated. I just know that visiting hours are 7:30 - 3:30 Sat and Sun only. Thanks again, maria

My husband was in Fishkill before so if you have any questions you can PM me and I will ask him for you. He was in Fishkill for 3 years so I think he could probably answer any of your questions. I am hoping and praying that he will go back to Fishkill this time (even though I know it is a long shot) but it is so close to the city and they have trailer visits! I'm keeping my fingers crossed :)

thanks found out about the visits and packages now trying to find out about trailer visits, and what steps have to be made, can't wait, lol, thanks maria. Hope your husband gets transferred back there, keeping my fingers crossed for you.
