HELP, Which way do I turn. That dang warden at Easterling want let me visit my son. I was barred last August 24, 2002 because after our visit (myself, my husband and our Pastor) Rod was strip-searched and they found a piece of cigarette on him. Myself and my husband and our Pastor were barred for six months. Then had to write a letter requesting to have our visitation privilege restored. I just recently wrote the letter because of all the other problems I've had with them since my son was brutally attacked by five black gang member inmates. Got my answer today. She says that to allow me to return will be a threat to security. I'm five foot tall, weigh 110 pounds, have severe arthritis, am a Christian. Should I get a lawyer? Someone help. PLEASE:(

You have got to be kidding!! That is utterly INSANE!! I think I would be writing/emailing the DOC!! She is taking this way too far, especially for a piece of a cigarette! I understand there are rules,and blah, blah, blah, but come on!! It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out that after almost an entire year of no visits, that breaking ANY rules of visitation would be the farthest thing on your minds! Hang in their and we will keep you in our prayers, surely SOMEONE will see how WRONG this warden is:argh

Hi Mamaspooh ... I don't have any answers for you but I wanted you to know I will keep you in my prayers ... just keep writing letters to everyone you can think of and be sure to keep copies ... maybe also have your pastor write too ... take care and stay strong ...

I am so very sorry to hear this. Please do not give up. hang in there and keep fighting. Start making phone calls and writing letter till you get all the way up the ladder to president bush himself. Just remember each no is your ticket to the next step.

Thanks Ladies,
Thank you all so much, I really needed those words of comfort.
Truth is, I probably am a threat to her security, since I'm sure she serves the devil. I am most deffinitely a light in a dark place.

Prayer is powerful!! Please keep us in yours. I will surely keep you all in mine!
God bless you all

WRITE, TALK, FIGHT, GET ANSWERS, REPEAT AND DO IT AGAIN, UNTIL YOU HAVE THE ANSWERS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, DON'T GIVE UP! YOUR SON STILL NEEDS YOU...

Good luck, it doesnt seem fair. Steve&kids

Don't know if I can really be of any help or not. I have been barred for 7 years. Because they claimed contraband was found on the prison yard after I was up at the prison. It has been a very long fight and I assure you these people don't give a darn. They told me six months also and like I said it has been 7 very long years. Like I told Charlie Jones exwarden of Holman you can keep me out but you will never take that man out of my heart. But they will accept my money, I can write letters and send in packages, so go figure that one. He can call and they can make money off of me that away. It's to their advantage. I would suggest writing the warden again this time sending a copy to the governor and the Commissioner. Also send these letters registered mail where they have to personally sign for them. It might not hurt to send a copy to your repersentive, and the Attorney Generals office, And at the moment they know that if Roberta gets a hold of it ,everyone will find out about it. play their games.

Oh my gosh that is terrible! How can they even think you would be a threat to security! For Petes Sake! I sure hope this mess gets straightened out! Good luck, my prayers and thoughts will be with you!

Vicki,
Thanks so much. I am so dumb. I never thought registered mail!! Seven years? God bless you baby. Working on it writing sending letters. Tomorrow some will be going registered.
I will be praying for you!
With Love

Mamaspooh,
Unfortunately, I also understand fully what working with that warden is like. She is unbelievably mean-hearted. I have had experiences with her myself for the past couple of years that deny explanation of why she feels the need to treat me the way she does. I am right now in the middle of a letter to my husband and am going to ask him if he knows your son.:) ~ I wouldn't be surprised if he does. Who knows, we may have been in the visiting room at the same time! It is, after all, a small world. I just wanted you to know that I totally understand and can sympathize with you having to deal with that woman. **sigh**

NOW THIS....I LOVE....you stay after it and don't give up...!!!

kath

call the DOC , there have been a number of complains about her and from what i understand Mr. Cambel (new DOC guy) has made her make some serious changes in the way she is running the prison there...Good luck and you and your will be in our prayers.

DJ

Denise, I sure would be interested to know what POSITIVE changes he has made her make because it only seems like things are getting more strict there. :-( Hopefully we don't have much longer to deal with her. Bad enough to have to follow the rules but when they change at HER whim (but she always has some kind of phoney surface reasoning if you know what I mean.) Grrrrrrrrrr. I think the most difficult part for me is that the rules change according to who it affects and they are inconsistent. Some have to follow them and some don't. **sigh** I guess that's just a part of the whole thing but it is also one of the reasons I think my husband is so amazing. He has spent almost 26 years in that environment and still has a tender heart and a low degree of bitterness. I find that pretty incredible; I doubt I would have been able to do the same.
As for contacting the DOC.......Because of the way the politics are in that particular prison, we hesitate to make waves this close to the next hearing. I just don't trust for what she might try to do if we piss her off again. If that makes me intimidated by her, well I guess I am then! :-) I just know that right now, we are being very cooperative about everything since we know the risks.
Thanks for the post.

To Everyone,

I want to Thank all of you for your prayers. I know that it is only because of prayers truth and God's grace that I will be visiting my son on Friday August 15th. YES, YES. I went and talked to my State Representative, DuWayne Bridges and he talked with the D.O.C.'s Deputy Commissioner Mr. Greg Lovelace. Mr. Lovelace made Mosley write me a letter re-instating my visitation privilege.

The last time I saw him was August 24, 2002. You are all still in my prayers.
Thanks again
God is in me
Mamaspooh:D

Dar Mamaspooh ~~ Oh wow, I for sure know what this must feel like to know Mz. Mosely had to back down and reinstate you!! I am almost jumping up and down and clapping my hands in glee. I am thrilled for you that you get to see him! But what's up with a Friday visit????? Are you being allowed a special visit with him because of this?????
I'm really thrilled to know that her nastiness was overruled!!
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and a whole bunch of PTLs also.
~~Care

Thanks Care,
I see I am not the only one that has a GREAT dislike for that woman. Baby, she passed mean and evil a long time ago. My baby is in segregation though and seg. visits are the third Friday in the month. Prayerfully he will be transfered in October. He has known enemies there at Easterling. He got beat up real bad last year on November 1st. Mosley does not like me at all because I stand boldly for truth. I am a Jesus junkie and or Freak. I am small but I speak loud for Jesus.

God' Many Great Blessings
With love and prayer
God is in me

congrads.....hope you have a great visit....DJ

:) I am sooooo happy for you that you got your visits back! Enjoy! :)

This is wonderful news, now if I could just get my visits back since Oct 11 will be seven long years. Have a wonderful visit, and tell him to check his dang pockets in front of the guard before he comes out so this doesn't ever happen to you again.

Vicki,
Have you tried your local State Representative? In your District.

Still praying for you. God's Blessings
