My nephew had been at Kilby for about 2 months. He was told he would be going to Limestone, then last week was moved into permanent party there at Kilby and told in 6 months he would be re-evaluated and possibly re-classified. A few days later they moved him to Bibb CF. Obviously, I'm new to this and cannot understand why he has now been moved to Bibb. Is this common for them to be moved around or is there something going on in the CF's that I've not heard in the news? Would appreciate a crash course about Bibb or what I can expect from here, from anyone that has the patience.
Thanks

There's really not much rhyme or reason in why they suddenly move people for no apparent reason, Cindy, sorry. A lot more has gone on the worse the overcrowding situation gets the last several years, but more than likely Kilby's "permanent party" section is probably one of the first places that gets hit when they need more space for others at Kilby so they likely just sent him wherever there was an immediately available bed in his security classification.

Hopefully some of our Bibb knowledgeable folks will be along soon to fill you in on more specific stuff about Bibb...
