My husband went through an ordeal this week.

they took him out for a transfer, he spent one night in Downstate and then was sent to Sing Sing and then Thursday night he was sent back to where he was....why would they do this? He gave all of his stuff away, even food, and clothes, and now he has nothing, he has been in shackles all week, and dirty, and the worst part is, he is not supposed to go to Sing Sing because of a few reasons involving his case, and while he was there he was taunted and teased! When he was sent back to his original prison, it was because he was denied being transfered there....I am not sure of everything, but I wonder why they keep torturing him like this so unjustly?

he asked me to call someone and find out why they did that. can I do that, and who do I call and do you think it is worth it right now? can they do that to him? He told me to call his counselor or classification and movement, what do you think? And can someone post the # to call classification and movement? Thanks so much to all of you.

The number to classification and movement is 518-457-6022. They aren't really all that helpful, and they talk in alot of technical terms as far as status. I hope this helps you.

Your best bet is to call his Counselor, with Classification and Movement you take a chance, sometimes you will get someone helpful but most often they won't give you any information at all.

IF I WERE YOU JEN I WOULD DEFINANTLY CALL UP ALBANY OR U CAN GO TO THE WEB SITE NYDOCS AND GO TO CONTACT US AND SEND THEM A DETAILED E-MAIL AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS FROM THERE I WISH YOU LUCK WITH THAT LET ME KNOW HOW THE SITUATION TURNS OUT:thumbsup:

All the quotes are correct.Call his councelor or call to Albany transfers are not an overnight thing. it also depends on his status.
