Hello Ventress 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noticed, we gathered quite a bit of information for this facility some time ago, but we expect some of it is long out of date and now incorrect.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=323312

We KNOW this one is way out of date because it's been many many years since our original reporter regularly visited this facility.

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 with any of the above (besides the 2008 visitation schedule, we have that now), we sure do appreciate it.

The address is 379 hwy 239, clayton al 36016 and if you send the inmate a magazine or newspaper article, make sure to put their AIS# on it or they will send it back. You are aloud to send 2 books of stamps at a time and they will not except any blank paper, postcards, etc, anything of that nature. Our visit started around 8:30 today and ended at 1:00. Its best for you to get up to leave a few minutes before one because the gaurds will stand up about 15 till and expect you to rap it up. You can only send 6 pictures at a time, but they are aloud to keep as many as they want. Make sure when sending the mail, you include their bed number and dorm number because it will take them an extra day to recieve it if you dont. The money orders are the same, name and AIS. I hope this helps, my boyfriend has only been there for 2 weeks. I will have more info soon.
