my son was transferred OUT of Bibb yesterday!! so long bibb with your lazy uncaring warden,abusive c.o.'s and theiving mail room workers! yes,i reailze that he is STILL in prison,and none of them are resors,but Bibb is the worst of the worst.so goodbye bibb,and good ridence!!!

I am glad that your son got transfered. Where did he get transfered to if you don't mind my asking?

Congrats! We were desperately praying (& believing) for our transfer request to be approved...but got the DENIED letter friday. After 8 1/2 yrs. with a clear record, taking & completing all classes available (some twice)...with the exception of the one required at the time of classification that the facility he's in DOESN'T even offer....he's still stuck in Holman. Grrrrr. I just don't understand. So, I guess we'll wait it out another year. I'm SO HAPPY for you & your son! I know how it feels to want something SO bad. Best wishes.

he was transferred to limestone.it is a LOT closer to my home.suthrndreamgirl,i know what you mean about the transfers.twice my son turned in transfer request forms to his classification officer only to have them returned to him.it took going to a state senator who sent a letter directly to richard allen,ADOC commisioner,requesting that he intervene and move my son.when a couple of buses came and loaded up a hundred inmates and moved them,we thought the request had fallen on deaf ears.but a few days later a van showed up and transported him alone!try writing a legislative office here.it can't hurt.

My son hated Bibb too. They wouldn't let my grandson go in to see his Dad after that long drive down there we was turned away. My grandson was about 2 at the time and he laid down in the floor and cried because he couldn't see his Dad and kicked and screamed all the way to the truck while about 3 CO's stood there and laughed at him. His little heart was broke and my son was watching on the outside. So I know how they treat you. Terrible just terrible, and the trauma it causes the children when they have done no wrong. I'm happy for you too!

oh lace,i'm so sorry that happened to that poor baby! it makes me cry.why didn't they let him so him?my sons little girls went two years without seeing their daddy.thank God they weren't turned away! when they saw him they just could not stop touching him!ofcourse it was painful for them to have to leave him.but it will be a lot easier for them now that he is closer to home.yes, MOST of those co's at bibb are just butts!you do reap what you sow so it will come home to them some day.you should write the warden,though she doesn't set foot in the prison unless someone from the outside is coming in.

Proudmom, let us know when your son is transferred. You are both in my prayers. I know you cannot wait for him to be closer to you.

got a letter yesterday.he is at limestone! he said that with so many being moved it might take weeks to get their phone and visitation list set up.and his store money hasn't been forwarded from bibb yet so he traded a honeybunn for a couple of stamps.he likes it better so far.private showers!thanks for the support everyone!!

Proudmom, So glad to hear the news. Hugs to you and your son. Hopefully it will not take long to get everything set up. I understand Limestone is one of the better places if you have to be in one of them. Keep us posted. PTO Family is great.

:thumbsup: I'm really happy to hear he got in Limestone and maybe things will be better come visitation, because believe me I know how you was treated. Those people have no respect for the families. My son hated the place.
Hope things are better for you all the way around and he is happier there. Keep us up to date.:D

i got a call yesterday afternoon from the chaplain at limestone . he told me that he put my son at the top of the list to be moved into the Faith-Honor dorm.when he asked my son why he had been there a week and not already been to see him,he said that it seems there is another young man there whom my son has been trying to protect.this young man is short and small in stature.the biger inmates sometimes prey on those they percieve to be weak.well, this wonderful man,the chaplain,assured my son thay he will also place this young man in the Faith dorm.God is truely looking after my son,and many others!He is truely an awesome God!!

Hey Proudmom, My friend is also at Limestone in the honor dorm. I haven't got to go visit with him not at Limestone, have when at Saint Clair. My friend usually works in the visitation area, mostly cleaning the floors and taken the pictures and developing them. So how long is your son be incaratted?

my son has served two years,most at Bibb,the worst prison in the state.i'm praying he will be up for parole son.chaplain Baggett assures me that he will be getting his GED and teaching a bible class and that he will have some wonderful christian inmates for company.so,for the first time in two years my heart is at peace.i am raising his two little girls and am terminaly ill [cancer] so he has to come home and raise his children before i get too sick to continue doing it.i fully trust in God that His plan will work out!
