I have noticed that alot of the posts are old and those people don't really post any longer. Just wondering who still has loved ones in Morgantown.

Me!

Me!

it doesn't appear that there are too many of us on PTO in Morgantown.

Let's give it time, they will pop in!

My husband was released from Morgantown last April and I do read the threads on Morgantown every couple of days. He was there for about nine months. I went to visit him twice and I thought the environment for being a federal prison was very nice. I'm glad that he is home and things are getting back to the way they were before he went away. Only wish the income was the same. It's been hard for him to get a decent job with a felony on his application. But I guess it's better than no income. Take care.

that's great that he has been home about a year...I too am worried about my man being able to find a job...guess any income is better than the way it is now, just mine :( It's terrible, we haven't talked in over a week because I haven't had money...It's tough with 3 kids and his family has not been supportive at all...they won't even write to him,it's just a shame...I can't wait to have him back home.

Today we celebrated our 25th wedding anninersary. We went out to dinner and now he's watching the Red Sox game and I'm doing laundry. We have four children ages 23, 22 18 and 15. My oldest two children helped me out while he was away and my family and our friends helped me out tremendously while he was away. I never would have been able to pay the mortgage with just my income. His friends sent him his canteen money so that was a big help. I know what your're going through and it is very tough to survive with just one income no matter how much you make. With the price of gas and food it's crazy. Hopefully the time will go by fast and you will be together and soon. I don't understand how family can turn their backs on siblings when they are in need. It's not only the inmate that gets hurt it's their family at home that is hurting too. My mother wrote to my husband faithfully and he wrote to her too and I was thrilled my mother did not turn her back on him for what he put my and the kids through. He's always been a wonderful husband to me and a great father to the kids. So one mistake in someones life should not be held against them forever. Life is too short. Take care.

CONGRATULATIONS !!!! on your 25th anniversary...It sounds like you had a great support system while he was away...and your husband sounds wonderful...My fiance is a great guy and would do anything for anybody...It's so sad that none of his supposed to be friends or family have written or even accepted a phone call...so they sure have not sent any money...my family doesn't help at all, if anything they cause me more grief even if I just ask for a babysitter...I'm not one to complain too much, I just do what I have to...I don't think I've ever worked so many hours in my life but I am trying to open a home daycare now...there is a big need for it around here and it will save me the cost of 3 children in daycare... I'm just not sure how that will work with his record when he comes home...we'll see but I think it will work out great for now.

Congrats on your anniversary Chuck's Girl!

well my father reports on Monday to Morgantown he is 73 and i'm worried to death about him I have no idea what the surroundings are but we have hope for a new trial or hearing that could let him out!!!! If you could please give me some good thoughts about morgantown I would so much appreciate it!!!

Chatty,
He will be in good hands. My husband is always saying how the guys are very supportive of each other and help one another.

When he gets there let us know what unit he is in. We can have our guys check on him.

When my husband first got there the other "guests" continuouly came up to him to introduce themselves.

Just keep praying!

Chatty just as Sprightly has said the men there are very friendly and they tend to look out for each other. No fighting or any of that crazy stuff to worry about. Everybody there just wants to do their time and get home.

Chatty,

He will be fine. You need to find out what unit he is in, and like sprightly said one of our guys will find him and check for you. as far as how many on here have guys at Morgantown it looks like Sprightly, Saints, myself and you make four. You will be ok and so will he. It could be a lot worse. We are here if you need anything.

My brother is in Morgantown (since Sept 17th). He posted on this board as "Dano665" before he went in (I only found this board a couple days ago, and I just ran across his posts tonight).

As far as I can tell from what he tells me, all the people he's met in Morgantown are as good as everyone has said about trying to be helpful and supportive.

I'm sure that just being a brother of someone "inside" is nowhere near as difficult as being the wife of one, so I won't presume to equate my situation or feelings with yours. I'm sorry to hear the stories of hardship that you're enduring...and I have to confess, I am astounded (happily amazed) at the level of support and unconditional love professed for the men on the inside by wives/significant others that have been left with the kids and the house payments and etc etc.
