my husband is in FOLSOM Prison (old) and he was telling me that in sept. or december that FOLSOM will be only for PC...?? My husband also said that he might be getting trannsferred to PLEASANTVALLEY OR CORCORAN... it'll be alot closer for me, so i'm hoping that he will..:)

Hi. My husband is in Old Folsom too. We have been hearing this for a long time, seems that it is really going to happen, we may not make it to our family visit because he may be gone by then. We will all just have to wait and see.

Eternity_9632- thanks again for the response..but how long was the rumors going around?? my husband's only been in FOLSOM for about almost a month... are they sending all the inmates to different prison?? or how is it worked?? hoping that my family vist paper will get through the counslor and get a family vist, but it may not look like it...darn...:mad: but if you're approved in one prison for FAMILY VIST, would u have to reapply??? thanks...:)

Hello. I have heard that this rumor has been going around for quite a while. There is a possibility they may be moved to either Mule Creek, Corcoran or Pleasant Valley sometime in the fall. It is part of the CDC program, Right Prison, Right Mission. I hope I have the name of that right. But then again, it may NOT happen, you never know with the State of California. There are lots of factors that play into this, so for now,I am taking it with a grain of salt.

pilgrim shadow- thnks for the response, but how far is mule creek from folsom?? i'd rather have my husband stay at FOLSOM, because it's not really that bad.. but the drive is more than 3 hours away for me.. i don't mind.. but this fall???

Lovingmyhubby07-I believe that Mule Creek is about another 30-45 minutes of driving time. That's all I know. But the rumors about the moves starting in the fall have surfaced again. I try not to think about it too much. I hope this helps you some.

30-45 Min drive?? wow, that would really sux.. but hopefully not.. well i don't mind him staying in FOLSOM, it's not bad.. yeah, so i think that i shouldn't think much... thanks pilgrim shadow...:)

Hi all.. I found this in a old post.. hopefully it will help:D

Folsom prison to switch its inmate population
By Christina Jewett -- Bee Staff Writer
Published 4:42 pm PDT Monday, July 3, 2006

For 13 weeks this fall, Folsom State Prison will swap out its inmates for prisoners who have requested to be segregated from the general population for fear of reprisals or attacks, officials said.

The change is part of a larger re-alignment of inmates statewide that officials say is meant to match inmate groups with the state's 33 adult prisons, which are best suited to their needs.

Folsom State Prison, which houses 4,100 inmates, will be the first of the state's prisons to undergo changes, said Scott Kernan, deputy director of the adult institutions division of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations.

"We took the system down to zero, started building it up to getting the right population in the right bed," Kernan said. "The project took a long time. From that, significant recommendations were made. They made a lot simple common sense."

I believe it may be true. My ex who was just transfered to Corcoran wrote in his last letter that he may be moved to Folsom sometime soon. I guess they may be turning old Folsom to all PC. Not sure, but will let you know if I hear anything new.

thanks for all the replys... :) so all i can do is just wait and see what happens...

Here is a link a thread located under the Mule Creek Forum. There has been discussion on some of what you have inquired about.

Hi. My hubby is at old folsom. This talk has been going around for a while. And I believe I can say it is TRUE. While at our family visit, they were showing it on their tv channel for the prison. It said they will begin transferring inmates out later this year and it should be completed mid 2007. The whole prison will be PC, except for the camp and FTTF. Hope this helps....

diane236- so then it is TRUE?? ummm.. but where do they decide which prison to send the inmates to??

My Husband wrote yesterday that they are going to start moving inmate on August 25 or something like that. He said they had seven prisons to send them too but didn't say which ones.

wow, in the end of august?? yeah because my husband also told me that he'll probably get moved before the end of this year, so hopefully he'll get mover alot closer..:)

My boyfriend is at another prison on a SNY yard and was informed that his yard will have emerency commities starting Sep 19 and buses leaving soon after that for Old Folsom. This is good news for me since I live near the folsom area. Looks like this rumor is coming true.

How does your men like it at Old Folsom? Any complaints? I know it's old (hince the name :))without any modern day upgrades.

well my husband's been thea for a month, and he says that it isn't BAD.. it's a pretty laid back prison, and the CO's are OKAY.. well that's good that u live near folsom..:) so i guess it's not a rumor anymore..

I did hear a bit more about the move. It is going to happen, that is what they are all talking about there. It was supposed to start last week, but did not. I heard that it could take several months, and PIA workers may be the last group to be moved. But still, no one knows where they will end up. Supposedly each one will be interviewed before the move. I am guessing the counselors will do that. But then again, this is the CDC you are dealing with, so all we can do is hang on and hope for the best.

pilgrim shadow- what is pia worker??? When i visted my husand last week, he didnt' mention about the moved.. my husband haven't even seen his couneslor since he's been thea.. but he's put in a request.. does it alwayse take this long to see their counselor??? :blah:

lovingmyhubby07, unfortunately, yes, it can take a while before they see their counselor. Even with a request. But I will keep my fingers crossed for you. A PIA worker is an inmate who works for the Prison Industry Authority, where they make the license plates, signs, etc. It is a big program, with PIA programs in many, but not all prisons in California. Hope this helps a little.

My husband is PC/SNY in SVSP, and told me today that in two weeks they're going to start sending the SNY guys to Folsom, and everyone will be out of SVSP by the end of October. So it looks like it is true, which sucks for me, because it adds another two hours to my four hour drive.
