Just wondering if there are any other CRC/Norco wives here? I drive up from San Diego 1 or 2 times a month. :)

Hi ShandaLeer, Yes im a CRC/Norco wife. I dont post, because no one ever comes on from Norco.. It would be nice, if there was more wives, girlfriends etc that we can start getting a thread or conversation going.. Would be nice to talk to other Norco woman... I drive from L.A. every weekend.. If you like to talk, you can either pm me or just write here. I read alot of threads, but dont post...
Just wondering if there are any other CRC/Norco wives here? I drive up from San Diego 1 or 2 times a month. :)

Hello ladies,
Yes, I'm a CRC/Norco wife, My husband has been there for about a month. I drive up from SD every week. I saw my husband this past saturday. I'm really concerned because he has not phoned, he usually does about 2 times a day. Have you ladies heard anything that might of happened?

Hi Everyone,

I'm not a wife. But I'm a Mom. I live in North Poway. Could I be included?
I plan to start going up every other weekend. Could someone explain how visiting works there. Thanks...

Hi Ladies,
I'm also a CRC/Norco wife and I live in San Diego. It sure doesn't seem like there are very many Norco folks on pto! My husband has been at Norco since May, but I haven't been able to visit yet; I have a medical condition that makes me not tolerate heat at all. I'm going to start visiting next month, when it's hopefully cooler! Visiting is by the last two digits of the CRC number. It seems that, according to the calendar my husband sent me, there are only 2 or 3 visiting days for each set of numbers each month.

Poway, ask your son to send you a visiting calendar/schedule, so that you can see when you can visit. Maybe someone can tell us how the actual visiting goes? Clothes allowed? Best time to get there?

Thanks for any info you can give!

Hi, my Honey is also there and he hasnt called either did you find out if they are on lockdown or something, last callw as saturday morning:confused:
p.s how is he able to call u 2 times aday. they gave us 4 times a month limit for phone calls.,,,,and its not even prepay????

Hi Everyone,
Im glad to see theres more Norco woman out here and posting... Woohoo. Let me introduce myself again.. My name is Noodles and im a CRC/Norco wife.
I hope that you ladies will post more, and show some "Love" for CRC/Norco.
As for Poway yes your included. Moms, Wifes, Girlfriends, etc are included.. Im so happy to know theres Norco woman out here In PTO land
~ Poway, the way it works is: it goes by the last 2 digits of the his CDC number. THose are the only days your allowed to visit. It is either on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Its only 1 day a weekend. Which sucks, because it makes it harder to visit if your working on those days... As him to send you a calander and you will see what im speaking about.. It will say for example:
Friday 00-49 Sat 49-75 Sunday 75-99 whatever his number lands on or inbetween thats when you go.
The dress code is pretty much the same as any other prison... If you need more information, either post or pm

I'm glad there are more folks out there for the CRC/Norco crew. I'm the Real Mrs. Jones and I haven't heard from my husband in two weeks. I'm planning to visit this Friday but I need to call first to see if his dorm is on lockdown.

HI LADIES,
I HAVE A BROTHER THATS CRC/NORCO AND MY HUBBY IS @ ISP. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU LADIES, I'VE BEEN WANTING TO SEND A MONEY ORDER TO MY BROTHER BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD BE THE SAME AS MY HUBBY. MY HUBBY I MAKE IT OUT TO HIM IS THAT THE SAME???? ANY INFO WILL BE APPRECIATED..... THANK YOU LADIES

Have you tried using Jpay? I heard the money gets to the inmate faster. If not, then make the money order out to your brother the same and send it, he should get notified once the prison receives it and it's in his account.

THANKS FOR THE INFO:thumbsup:

Question;

Could someone tell me.....after they arrive(at Norco) , how long does it take to be able to visit? And...since our visiting forms are only one year old, will they still be good at Norco? I heard that the visiting approvals follow them. Is that true?

If you have already been approved @ another facility for visits prior to him moving to norco..then you are approved at Norco also. so u are good to go visit him already.

oh..and hello everyone! i am a norco wife. My husband has been @ Norco for about 6 mnths. I love it that he is here in Norco cause i am just 15 min. away. but i use to drive 2 hours when he was in Blythe. But i'm sad to say that i have heard bad news....Has any of you heard of your loved one talk about getting transferred out of state? My husband said his counselor told him that his name is on the list to be moved out of state and he is fighting it..he had to fill out some papers refusing to leave..but the counselor told him there is a slim chance that it will be granted.wondering if any of you have heard anything...thanks..lydia

ltongaofa,

thanks for the info.
There was some information on the transfers under the Salinas site. I'm so sorry that you are going through this.

I've heard about the out of state transfers. I'm sorry that it is truly hitting home for you, but I was reading somewhere about how they determine who will be transferred. I'm going to think really hard and see about finding the information again. You're in our prayers keep your head up.

HELLO CRC LADIES,
MY HUBBY JUST GOT TRANSFERRED TO CRC AND I WAS JUST WONDERING HOW SOON CAN I GO AND VISIT HIM? ALSO IF ANY OF YOU LADIES HAVE THE PHONE NUMBER/EXTENSION OF THE FAMILY VISITING OFFICER I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THAT INFO TOO. HOPEFULLY WE CAN START OUR OWN THREAD FOR CRC SINCE THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OF US HERE :thumbsup: THANKS AGAIN!

ltongaofa,
My husband is also at CRC and he was also told he would be moving out of state. He was told to submit birrth certificates of his children to see if it would help, but apparently its not going to make a differnce.

Btw, Facility 1 is on lockdown due to a fight on the weekend.

Yes, if there was anyone planning on visiting this weekend and your loved one is housed in facility 1 like mine they are on lockdown until further notice. All other facilities are open for visiting.

Hi,
Another Norco wife says hello. My husband was transferred to CRC over a month ago, after being sent to Wasco by mistake & staying for 1 1/2 months. Long story short, I have had one 8 minute phone call in almost 3 months, cause he's still in reception. Is this normal? My guy writes almost every day, but it is getting really hard not to be able to visit or even hear his voice.

I live in the Bay area, sounds like most of you are from So. Calif.

Has anybody heard any more news about what happened there last week? I haven't been able to find any updated news since 9-6-07.

Any info is greatly appreciated!
Thanks, and best wishes,
Anemone

Hi anemone,

I'm new to Norco, so I won't be able to answer some of your questions. However, all I know is that the time spent in reception varies. My son was in reception for about 6 weeks.

Hello everyone, I just spoke with my husband who is presently in Corcoran 1 and he advised me that he should be moving to NORCO within the month. The move will save me about 2 and a half hours on the drive. THANK GOD !!!! I am, however, concerned about the visiting since I visit EVERY Friday now and looks like I may be into some changes with this new prison. Question.......How are the COs there. I got along with ALL of the Corcoran COs since I visited all the time, we were very cool with each other. Also, with the visiting, if my day to visit is Saturday, can i assume the visit wont be termed due to overcrowding? Thanks everyone. Any and all information will be greatly appreciated. Im sure you know how it is when our men transfer, we tend to get nervous and anxious about the move. Peace.

Welcome Anemone, and glad you posted and that your a Norco wife..

Welcome keepingtreal,
Glad you posted and you will be a Norco wife soon. As for your information, you might want to look on this thread a few other threads that are posted regarding those specific questions. As for being terminated, yes there is always a possibility that your visit will be terminated, due to over crowding. However, thats at every prison... All other info search this thread and a few others that have prior posted..

Thanks Noodles. I found answers to my questions throughout the different threads. Thanks again for a warm welcome. I will keep you posted as to when im "officially" a Norco wifey.

Hello hello,

My friend is being transferred from Pleasant Valley to Norco, although he's not sure exactly how soon this will occur. I'm a little bummed because PVSP is 2 hours away and Norco is more like 7. ::sigh:: But he's happy, as it's a good way for him to break up his time. So, I really need info! I'm nervous to start the whole visiting process and getting comfortable with a new place thing.

Hi,
My boyfriend too is in CRC/Norco. I was getting calls from him every couple of days until the riot. He is in dorm 108. Luckily he is alright. Now my problem is GlobalTel Link. I have a credit on my account but they have blocked my phone. I cant seem to get any answers from customer care call center. (which is in Argentina) Anyone else having problems?

I hate global t. Link.. they suck!!!! Hello all CRC girls.

Hi Ladies, My name is Monique. I'm from San Diego. Today this morning my husband was transfered from Centinela State Prison to CRC,Norco. I have so much to ask. Going to a new prison is a whole new journey!...lol
How does the visiting work there? Is there visits every weekend or is it different from the other prisons? Has anyone had a family visit? if so how is that and if you can please private message me because I have a lot of questions regarding the family visits.

How strick are they with clothing at visits?
Any info will help. Thanks!

Oh yeah if anyone is from San Diego that visits CRC I'm willing to carpool.

My husband got transfered from ISP to CRC in May, at which point I sent in my marriage certificate for Familiy Visits, at this point, almost October, his lazy counselor says she hasn't gotten around to his file yet. BS !

I went to visiting Friday, it was great, I dont think I'll ever go on a weekend again.

I was told that Norco visiting is based on a schedule pertaining to the last two numbers of the inmate's cdc number...... meaning we will NOT be able to go EVERY Friday but will have to alternate between Fri, Sat and Sun. Is this true? Just asking because may02 stated that she does not know if she will go on a "weekend" again. It looks like you may HAVE to if what I am told is true. We need some clarification please....thanks.

If you go through this thread, it will tell you how CRC works as far as visiting. If not, there is another thread should be on the next page that tells you as well....

hey girls, what i meant is that id rather wait until its his turn for friday visiting than go on a weekend visiting date. Friday I didnt even wait a minute to get in :D

OH ok. Everything is understood !!!! :)

Grrr. I start this thread and people post all these nice replies, but I never got to read until now cause my computer was crashed. :mad:

Anyway, I drive up at least twice a month from San Diego. Sometimes if I have the extra $$, I much prefer to drive up to Norco the night before and get a hotel room, then go to the prison from there in the morning. It's just less stressful that way and I don't have to worry about traffic etc. making me late. So if anyone from S.D. ever wants to carpool and/or go in 1/2 on a hotel room, PM and let me know.

What I don't like about visiting up there is how they make you stand for light years in line, in the hot sun. I made that mistake once and now I just go later after they've let most of the other people in and the line isn't as long. It's a shorter visit, yes, but it's way more enjoyable if I'm not all heat-stroked.

Shandaleer,
Thanks for starting this thread! We need to keep it going....I'm also from the San Diego area.

Hello... just another crc wifey checkin in, yea it would be nice if we could have a thread for all loved ones of CRC to come to for info and support regularly!!!!:thumbsup:

Hi everyone...

My baby just transferred to Norco/CRC and yesterday was the first time I have gotten to see him in 4 months and it was GREAT!

Jasons Girl....I'm new to San Diego but I'm in Oceanside...I'm not sure where your at...but if you would like a ride to Norco let me know and we can try and figure something out. The 4 months he was in reception were awful...I couldnt imagine going that long without seeing him again....so I can completly relate...and we girls need to stick together.

Davids Girl well im more south east in san diego im down in el cajon so your still a bit from me but i hear ya i went and seen him on 4th of july and that was the first time i had seen him in 5 months and it drove me crazy to go that long without seeing him cuz i used to see him at least 1 or 2 times a month.

Im new 2 crc my husband just trnsferrd from pvsp in coalinga I live in orange county so Im so happy that he is closer. Im all the way confused on how this whole number system works with the visitn up there and also to all the wives does anyone have some 411 on how the fam visits work up there?? Any information would be helpful thanks ladies and have a nice day!!

oh ok so Ijust need to do some extra reading and I will figure it all out about the visitn!!! Well anyways ladies hello!!!

Jasons Girl...

Well that sucks that your so far. I'm glad you made it up there to see him. 5 months is wayyyy to long to be away from them....it was so hard to leave...I didn't want to let him go.

hello and welcome to crc,
just wanted to let you know if you didn't find all the answers you were looking for regarding visiting and family visits, go ahead and ask away, if I don't have the answer, there are plenty of regulars here who will help you out.:thumbsup:

WELL FIRST OF ALL WHAT UP ALMOST ALL OF US ARE IN SD DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT CIVIL COMMITMENTS TO CRC AND DOES ANYONE NO ABOUT THE GUYS DOING REHAB AT CRC

WELL FIRST OF ALL WHAT UP ALMOST ALL OF US ARE IN SD DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT CIVIL COMMITMENTS TO CRC AND DOES ANYONE NO ABOUT THE GUYS DOING REHAB AT CRC

welcome to crc,
I dont know a thing about civit commits but you can call the prison direct at 951-737-2683 and ask to speak to the counselor in your guys dorm, and ask them. Some of the counselors are cool and helpful, and some are just straight $?&*@! and you don't know unless your guy tells you or you call and find out yourself. Good Luck

i know what you mean i didnt want to let him go or to leave and 5 monthst is totally way to long to go without seeing him


Jasons Girl...

Well that sucks that your so far. I'm glad you made it up there to see him. 5 months is wayyyy to long to be away from them....it was so hard to leave...I didn't want to let him go.

Hi ladies!! im a norco wife, i live in san diego the north park area. Alot of wives are from san diego, thats crazy!

yeah there are alot of us from san diego it seems that is crazy i am in the el cajon area. Nice to meet you and Welcome to Norco


Hi ladies!! im a norco wife, i live in san diego the north park area. Alot of wives are from san diego, thats crazy!

Im from SAN DIEGO too im coming down this weekend it would be nice to see you ladies there, maybe say hi dont be such strangers lol... I get to visit both saturday and sunday its been a month almost 2 since i've been up there...I hope I have a good visit!! you never know what's going to happen. Do you ladies carpool?

Hi Lucky...

I think a lot of us are from San Diego but I haven't seen anything about carpooling but I would really love that with the cost of gas being what it is.

I cant keep track anymore of whos new or who isnt.. but for those who are new welcome. For those who arent jello

Hi Lucky... yeah there does seem to be alot of us from san diego and i havent seen anything about a carpool either it would be a good idea but also hard cuz you would have to figure out what the numbers are and could only carpool if you have the same number or visit day ya know couldnt be like hey lets just all hop in together and drive... would be nice if it could work that way
