I work at Brickeys-something that you want to know I will do my best to answer and the answer will be the truth.

When I mail a letter to a business in town, the mail goes to Memphis and come back to the Post Office. Then the mail is pickup at the Post Office, delivered to the prison, sorted, and then the inmate may receive it in a day or two. As far as getting to Brickeys (notice the spelling) it probably would take 5-6 days depending on any and every thing. retired

My man is in Brickeys and has not been getting his mail. I send a letter at least every other day, and I live in AR! I do this to help keep his spirits up. We talk once a week and he told me today that he has not gotten a letter for two weeks. When he does get them they are at least two weeks old! Anyone else having this problem? Is there someone I should call? I'm so upset!

My husband is at Brickey's also, and we are having the same problems with the mail. I have no idea who to talk to about this. And I don't know why the mail is so slow or not getting there at all.

We've had problems getting mail,he has only been there a few months so I don't know if it has always been this way or something new.At the other unit I could mail on Monday and and he would have it by Wednesday Night.Wish they could get it like they are supposed to.Kitty

I have heard for years about the insanity at Brickeys. Now I know some of it through my loved one being there.

They have a new Warden, . . .his last name is Outlaw. He's already helped with a minor situation that's been impossible to get anything done, and all of sudden since his arrival, . . .it's done.

God bless the new Warden, . . .and those working there that are there to just draw a check, rip off the tax payers of Arkansas and cause unnessacary misery to the inmates!

By the way, . . .anyone had a loved one accepted into Vo-Tech to gain employment skills prior to their release? I need to hear that some inmates are!

How long has he been there,the Warden? Kitty

I spoke to someone from ADC about two weeks ago and was told Randy Watson was the new Assistant Warden, and I did speak to him then.

Now, just this week I'm told by my loved one, that he met a new "Assistant Warden", Warden Outlaw.

So, I'm not for sure what's going on.

The mail, . . .it is still a BIG problem. Have not seen anything like it!

There isn't any accountability in the Brickeys mail room. They are the worst for losing Dictionaries. Gotta worry about a warden named Outlaw! Is that irony or what? I've talked to him (about the Dictionaries) he was decent and cordial. I made some simple suggestions for mail room efficency, I think he thot I was kidding!

Good deal ARadvocate :thumbsup:

You know, if he lives up to his name, . . .he's gotta know the mess he's got there at Brickey's, . . .in the mailroom too with that bunch running things there, . . .and that should be the least of our concerns.

God help the inmates that get sick there. Or, those who want to better themselves thru Vo-Tech.
