I was wondering how many of you have a loved one at Chuckawalla. :rolleyes: The last post regarding this was early 2006, and alot of transfers have gone on since then. It just seems like there are alot of people from ISP posting and not many from Chucky. Thankyou to everyone that has answered my posts, I appreciate how helpful everyone is.:D

my Hubsand Is Chuckawalla Has Been For The Last Three Years In

Hi foxxy, now I know that there are atleast two of us here. I was just feeling kinda lonely since most of the girls are going to ISP. Nice to meet you.
mamaD

well my Father in law is in CVSp so i also have a loved one there.

:) Hello there my man is Chukies too so that makes 4 of us lol:)

My husband is in Chuckawalla also, they are moving almost everyone. He say's they are installing air. He has a parole hearing in June, he said that he believes he will be gone by August. He has no idea where but he believes it will be a lot further from S.D. That is wher I live.

There were on lockdown for a few day's due to a stabbing. I heard the guards trashed the place, including inmate's personal property, many of inmates family pictures were ripped up. They almost had a stand off between guards and inmates in the 11 bldg due to the destriction and taking of personal property. One of the items taken from my husband were his boxers!!?? They are off lockdown now, but I've heard a lot of men are very upset.
I told my husband just stay cool and calm.

My fiancee is in Chuckies... but with all hopes, he will be home on May 2nd. :D

Starting my official last month count down, only 28 days and a wake up until I can be in his arms with no one watching over us!!!!!!!

docs wife -My hubby just called me and he didn't mention any stabbing or anybody being on lockdown....he's in c yard...what yard is your loved one in???

misssinghim- congrats :) im happy for you!!!

My husband is in Chuckawalla also, they are moving almost everyone. He say's they are installing air.
Docswife, installing air, like air conditioning? I have had a heck of a time trying to find a fan that takes batteries. Air sure would make everyone feel better (inmates & co's) along with cooler tempers. Heat makes everyone crabby.

:mad:STILL HERE AT CHUCKY'S HOUSE.CAN'T WAIT TILL HE IS RELEASED AND THER HARFLY IS ANYONE ON HERE FOR CVSP.

My brother just paroled from chucky'z last month............YaY
But my man is still busted in calipat...........:(

HE WILL BE THERE FOR A WHILE AND A HALF. THIS IS SO NEW TO US. WE LOVE HIM SO MUCH. MISS HIM LOTS. JUST STARTING TO GET ALL INFO ON SENDING HIM PACKAGES, WHICH I BELIEVE IS ONCE EVERY THREE MONTHS. IT WAS SO AWESOME TO HEAR HIS VOICE WHEN HE FINALLY WAS ALLOWED TO CALL US AFTER SO MANY MONTHS OF WAITING, IT WAS GREAT FOR OUR PARENTS AND SIBLINGS. WE ARE SUPER UNITED AND WILL HOPE AND PRAY THAT MAIL WILL NOT BE THAT BAD COMPARED TO WHERE HE WAS AT. ABOUT THE STABBING, MAN THAT'S SCARY AND THAT THE GUARDS ARE THE ONES WHO RAMSACKED INMATES'S STUFF, AWEFUL. CAN YOU TELL ME IF THIS IS OFTEN OR JUST ONCE IN AWHILE THING. HOW CAN I KNOW WHEN THEY ARE IN LOCKDOWN? WE LIVE IN NEW JERSEY, IT WOULD BE A SHAME THAT WHEN MY PARENTS WHO DONT HAVE NO ONE IN CA GO TO VISIT HIM THAT THEY WOULD FIND THAT THEY CAN'T SEE HIM. I MEAN IT TAKES FOR OUR PARENTS TIME TO EMOTIONALLY BE READY FOR THIER VISIT, MONEY AND ONLY DAYS TO STAY AND VISIT HIM AT LEAST 2 TO 3 TIMES BEFORE GOING BACK HOME. LET ME KNOW IF YOU GET ANY INFO WE SHOULD ALL KNOW ABOUT CHUCKAWALLA OK? THANKS, I APPRECIATE IT SOOOOO MUCH
GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND MAY HE IN HEAVEN STRENGTHEN US ALL CONTINUOUSLY AS WE WAIT FOR OUR LOVED ONES TO RETURN BACK TO US, ETI

Its just that when you can't get answers and you know this is all wrong it builds up year after year and on top I'm stressed out...I cant type fast enought to keep up with all the questions going on in my head...My mind will not shut off I am soo worried about this parole hearing..

MY BROTHER WAS MOVED FROM RECEPTION ON DELANO TO CHUKAWALLA ON MARCH 2007 HI'S ON YARD B HE HAS 22 MONTHS TO GO.

ale1995,
First let me welcome you to PTO and say "hi". My husband was moved in the end of March and he too is on "B" yard. Has your brother finished being classified yet? Mine said that alot of the guys that just got to Chuckawalla are being classified and sent out to private prisons. Again, welcome.
mamaD

my fiance is on f yard... but i wanted to say hi :)

My man was just transferred to chuckawalla last month in march now hes so much further away

San Diego and Chuckies here too. There are sure lots of stuff goin on.

Hi, my nephew was just moved to Chuckawalla last Thrusday. I can't wait to finally be able to visit him and touch him. He was at Wasco RC for almost 4 months. Can anyone give me any information about visiting? Such as is there a long line for visiting? It is a 6 hour drive as I am from the central valley but I plan on going at least 2 weekends a month and other family members will be going on other weekends. This is the first weekend that we havn't been able to visit at least for an hour thru glass. I was told it can take a few weeks before he can have contact visits. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hello- my husband has been at chucky for 4 years and has 2 to go. he's on the f yard. wish i could find a wife in my area to talk with or ride out there with.
all take care, and stay safe...

Hello Ladies,
My Husband has been at Chucky's fot at least 3 months. We have 11 more to go.

My man is in chuckawalla he just went there in the middle of march he is so much farther from me now im here in S.D. and dont like him being so far away because i dont have a car to get myself there to see him...i have been looking for ways to get there my other option might very well be the grey hound my friend might drive me this weekend but i dunno yet but if anybody knows of anybody that leaves from SD area and would like somebody to split the cost of gas and all with then please let them know b/c i would love to be able to get there and i will help with gas and what else

Sorry Jason's girl, I would help, but I am even farther than that. I am about 10 hours away. Who knows when I can get the time off work to drive down there. Hope someone comes along that can help you out.

MamaD Wow 10 hours i know what ya mean and thanks though i hope i can find some way too. or work something out

Hello ladies,
My Husband has been at Chucky's Since almost the beggining of the year.
Long drive for me and our children, but well worth every mile.
Hope to meet you ladies some day.

My man just got transferred from NKSP on thursday to chuckawalla and he's in D11 :)

Kylesaunt- If you were approved by Wasco then you are approved right away for Chuckawalla and you can see him right away. it is very ladi back and they don't trip off much. Have fun at your first contact visit and welcome to pto.
(http://www.prisontalk.com/forums/member.php?u=103247)

I called Chuckawalla and was told that I had to wait for Kyle to be classified, since he was in RC before he was trasfered. I just want to be able to touch him, its been since December 12, 2006 that he was taken into custody. Hope to meet up with all of you at some point.

yeah you have to wait for him to be classified but that usually doesnt take long just keep checking and as soon as he is you can go for visit no appointment needed

Hello!

My husband is being transfer from Ironwood too chucky, I am lost. This is the first time I at PTO. I have read many threads and found a lot of good information so once I heard he was being moved to chucky’s I decided to post and find out how different Iron wood and chucky might be so I can prepare myself. The sad part is we were schedule for our family visit on 9/22/07 and now we will have to wait till hi is at chuckys and get all the necessary documents for FM. Anyway if you would let me know what I should do when I get there I do line (car) up early in the morning but do you guys get in line to get a number ? is the processing the same or different

Hi everyone! I just joined today and not really sure how these threads work, but trying to get the hang of it.

I have a "friend" at Chuckawalla Valley, just transferred there from Corcoran. Actually, he is my ex from 13 years ago and we have somehow found a way to "reunite" after all these years and I guess you could say that the old feelings came back. :) Don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing since he has 6 more years to go?

I knew him when he was a good boy :D and we were so young and in love (started dating at 17 and broke up 4 years later). I guess you never forget your first love. Anyway, we have been writing back and forth for the past 8-9 years since he has been in.

I rcvd a letter from him about a month ago when he told me he was transferred to Chuckawalla. I live in Las Vegas, NV and I checked Mapquest just to find out that it was only 3 hours away! :thumbsup: So, I decided to go visit him for the first time in about 5 years. Wow, I was so nervous! Needless to say, I am falling in love with him all over again. Yikes! I don't know if I should back off though because I don't want to go through the hurt with the 6 year wait, you know?

Well, I just wanted to introduce myself and just air out my story (it felt nice because nobody knows except for his family). Thanks for listening!

Hope to meet some of you some day at visiting!

Welcome to PTO!

The best way to find info besides the stickies at the top of our forum is to run a search query(also at the top). We do tend to lose sight of the topic in our threads but don't get too frustrated:rolleyes:;). We kind of have 2 chat threads... "Roll call" during the week and the "weekend warriors" for those at home while everyone else is visiting during the weekend. When asking questions it does help if you always specify the prison;) otherwise you'll get a whole bunch of info for ISP since that is where most of us go:D

WELCOME!!!

I GO TO CHUCKIE'S HOUSE AND FROM WHAT I'VE LEARNED IT'S A LITTLE EASIER THAN ISP...AS FOR THE PROCESSING, WE LINE UP OUTSIDE THE PRISON (YOU'LL SEE THE CARS WHEN YOU PULL UP) THE CARS START TO MOVE ABOUT 7:30 CHUCKIE IS THE FIRST PRISON PULL IN PARK AND PROCEED TO THE VISITING BUILDING THE CO WILL GIVE YOU A NUMBER WHILE STANDING IN LINE TO HAND IN YOUR INMATE VISITING FORM.....YOU KNOW THE WHITE FORM. I GET TO CHUCKIE AT 7:30 AND I'M USUALLY IN THE PROCESSING AREA A LITTLE BEFORE OR RIGHT AT 8:00 AND THEY HAVE ALREADY STARTED PROCESSING VISITORS. ANYWAY FOR THE MOST PART IT GOES PRETTY FAST OR AT A NICE PACE. I USUALLY GET IN THE VISITING ROOM BY 9:30. SOME OF THE LADIES LINE UP ON FRIDAY NIGHT OUTSIDE BUT READ THROUGH THE THREADS AS DRACHESWIFE SAID TO GET MORE INFOMATION.....I HOPE THIS HELPS SOME AGAIN WELCOME AND IT'S NOT SO BAD.:cool: .....JUST HOT AS H*LL

I was wondering how many of you have a loved one at Chuckawalla. :rolleyes: The last post regarding this was early 2006, and alot of transfers have gone on since then. It just seems like there are alot of people from ISP posting and not many from Chucky. Thankyou to everyone that has answered my posts, I appreciate how helpful everyone is.:DTHE LOVE OF MY LIFE IS IN ISP. BUT MY FATHER IN LAW ( HIS FATHER ) IS IN CHUCKIE.

welcome welcome!!!:D

Hopefully next Saturday. And maybe Sunday. ;) Not a day too soon! He just got there this past Thursday. Do I really have to wait for him to see his counselor, etc, before he can get visits?

yea, you do :-/

When they are in orientation, can they still make 1 call per day?

I got 2 calls the day he got there - the first one to tell me he got there, and the second one to tell me his address, which he forgot to find out before he called me the first time. :o Minor detail, if he wants mail, eh?!

That's in B yard (B3). Not sure if they're all run the same or if it varies from yard to yard (or dorm to dorm?).

Thank You!

Just one call here on Day 1. Nothing since. Maybe this is the normal then. Hopefully this is what happens when new there and after the 14 day orientation they can call again. hm!

I hope your's calls you very soon. This is worrysome if it's normal or not at this point.

I wonder if the flu virus is under control there now too?

When my husband arrived there he put in a quick call to me, but I do remember him saying that the CO's didn't want him to use the phone during the orientation time. He also has to sign up for a time slot and he can't do that with out a CO knowing. Be patient, the orientation goes quickly and then things get better.
Oh, and the flu bug is not as bad now.

Ah Thank you!

What a releif :)
I understand now. I'm really glad you were able to answer that with such assurance. And really happy to know the guys are not getting sicker.

My Man Has Called Me Everyday Since He Got To Chuckies Place Except When They Are On Lockdown. He Called Me 5 Times That First Saturday To Make Sure I Had Exactly What He Wanted In His Package Lol..he Is On D.

I'm hearing some points can be lowered with good behavior etc after a certain amount of time?

When does that start date begin? Reception? Orientation? Mainline? Or?

Yes that is true. also if they have a job and are in school or taking classes. Im not sure when it starts but your man will be able to tell you when his annual is.

Thank you!

You've been so very helpful. I really appreciate all your help and answers.

Hello all,
I am new here. My name is Iris and my penfriend, who I love so much, is in Chuckawalla. First we only wrote (I write with inmates),but feelings grew and then there is love!

I visit him last November. It took me a flight of 11 hours, because I am from The Netherlands. After that I had to drive a lot of hours to see him. I never made a prisonvisit in the Netherlands, and as you can read my English is not as good as my Dutch, but my trip went well and I saw him last November and it was soooo great to see him! I visited him 4 times (2 weekends) and next month I will visit him again!

I am sooo glad when I see him again, I can't wait!

My husband called from Chuckawalla today! First phone call in months!! Went from Men's Central Jail 11/07 to Wasco to CVSP yesterday. He is in D. Said they aren't being told what happened for there to be a lockdown. I told him what I knew from postings here. Said he had to sneak to building next door to use phone (?....lol)! Told him to call right back when our call time ended but he didn't. He has a 14 day orientation there?

So, I have a couple questions now that I'm a......Chuckies Chick: I have become one of the many people whose GTL funds from Nov 07 have "expired" (love GTL's choice of words there!) and I'm just out $25. I had read about other people's experiences with losing credit after 90 days. I had called Feb 27th....woman said I just needed to call back once he was mainlined and I knew the facility and I could have my credit "reinstated". The lady today (Carmen) didn't want to hear it! Said it was my responsibility to be aware of GTL's policies. WOW! Some customer service! So....PLEASE tell me I'm not at their mercy for phone calls!! This PCO works at Chuckies? I have submitted my initial app online....just waiting for a quote in my e-mail.

Next: I've been approved to visit. I'd be coming from MN. I'm guessing I travel that far at my own risk as far as lockdowns go? How long does it take to apply and find out if you're approved for Family Visits?

Also: So, yeah....I'll be coming from northern MN. Where it's cold! I hear I'm coming to the desert! Just how hot is it there in, say.....October or November? Any tips for having to travel 3000 miles to visit?

And: I went to Access's website to look into ordering him his special purchase of electronics and it says something about needing approval from CVSP and it gave a fax number (?). I don't understand....he's finally mainlined, he's priv group A, what's this approval I need to do a special purchase order? Anyone know?

Thanks for any help coming my way.....

Welcome, Auroborealis!

I can't answer all of the questions, but as for the weather, October or November shouldn't be too bad, but I imagine the nights are likely to be colder than you'd think of, in the desert. I recommend checking www.weather.com (http://www.weather.com), type in the zip (92225 should work), and look for the section of the monthly average temperatures. It will list the averages as well as the records highs and lows for each of the months, so that might help you determine when you want to come visit.

I don't know about Access. My guy just got to Chuckie's a little over a week ago, himself. I ordered his electronics from www.Walkenhorsts.com (http://www.Walkenhorsts.com) and they didn't say anything about needing permission from the prison. They have everything you order broken down by what's allowed for each priviledge level in each prison. You could look and see if they have the same thing there. The electronics package doesn't have to be from the same vendor as the quarterly package.

Hope this helps a little bit. I'm sure the others will have more to add!

I hope you get to do something fun while you're here in Southern California, so you don't leave with just an impression of the desert (nothing against the desert to any of you who live there; there's just so much variety it would be nice if she could get to see several things).

Love the weather website. And the warm welcome! Thank you so much.

As for in-custody info....I'm not a newbie. His 4th stint. (slow learner ;))

Mine's going to be a relatively fast learner. 2nd stint, the first was in county jail for a couple of months a few years ago; this time in prison, with NO desire to go back, a good game plan for getting help to overcome his problems, and a much better support system to come home to, when the time comes.

I'm glad the weather website helps. I use it quite a bit. Definitely let us know before you come out, so we can try to give you a warm welcome in person (warm, but hopefully not desert-hot!).

There's a FOOT of snow on top of my car and it's STILL snowing! It WAS all gone :(
