Hello Elmore families & loved ones!

We could use your help in getting some updated info on visitation and other information on this facility.

As you have probably noticed, we gathered quite a bit of information for this facility some time ago, but we expect some of it is long out of date and now incorrect. The current sticky is here:

http://www.prisontalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=188426

We need to know any changes/updates/etc - wherever the information is wrong or something new should be added, please let us know about it!

Especially concerned with:

- Visitation Hours (or a general idea of how their schedule runs)

- Visitation Rules (especially if there are some major differences from what you see there now)

- Rules for inbound and outbound mail (limits on pages of letter, envelopes, pics, etc., and how mail to the inmate should be addressed)

- What can be sent in or out through the mail (especially books, paper, envelopes, pens, etc.)

- Can they have stamps sent in, and how many and how often

- Whether there's any difference in the procedure for sending money orders in

- And any other info you think would be helpful along all these same lines.

Pretty much most of the rest, like general stats about the prison, we have access to, but we could really use your help in updating & correcting any of the info we have, and adding anything we might be missing that we should have.

So please let us know if things are pretty much the same at your facility, or if there's differences and what they are. Feel free to just add to this post as needed if you can help!

Thank you!

If anyone can help us with the above, we appreciate it...

Here are a few things I can think of, my husband has been there a little over a year now.

Visitation is every other weekend Saturday or Sunday depending on the inmates last name 7:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.

No low cut shirts, no white, shoes can be sandals but must have a strap on the back. Jewerly can be worn
Cigareetes (spelling) can be purchased from vendor and you are allowed to smoke on the visit yard.
You can visit inside or out
Pictures can be purchased but must be paid for before you enter the facility at the front desk price range $4.00 to $10.00
You can only take change in for purchasing food, drinks for visit in a clear bag

Mail they can receive any amount but can not receive anything printed from the internet or copies from the newspaper
no envelopes pens etc
Pictures can be sent but no more than 6 at a time
stamps can be sent no more than 20 must have inmates name and ais # on them (I usually write on the back)
books must be from the publisher and preapproved can receive magazines that do not threaten security (so they say)
must be addressed
inmate name ais #
dorm, bed
P. O. Box 8
Elmore, Alabama 36025

Sending money using a money order must have the above information on it as well and western union can be used to send money to the inmate as well

Thanks so much. One of these days I'm going to find all the spare time I never have and get all those updated! This will really help, thank you :thumbsup:
