THAT GOOD YOU HAD A GOOD TIME WHAT YARD IS YOUR MAN IN?
poodlegirl 08-09-2008, 11:02 PM My hubby called tonight and said he heard that they were doubling up tables on 3C visiting yard now. Can anyone confirm this? And if it happened, how was it? Any terminations?
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
MYBABY'S_WIFEY 08-09-2008, 11:14 PM Omg. i need to know whats up 8c i have not talked to my husband or
got mail :angry::(
OneManWoman 08-10-2008, 12:51 AM Hello Ladies....................yes I would like to hear about the doubling up too if anyone has any info yet.
Thanks!
edsbaby 08-10-2008, 12:51 AM I can not confirm 3C, but what I can tell you is that the last two days I was there, there were a LOT of people, most had to be for Level 3, since Level 1 visiting never really got totally full. So I can only guess that most of the people were for level 3.
MYBABY'S_WIFEY 08-10-2008, 12:55 AM Hello Ladies....................yes I would like to hear about the doubling up too if anyone has any info yet.
Thanks!
WHAT DOES THE DOUBLING MEAN ???:mad::confused:
Tazz'Girl 08-10-2008, 02:14 AM Hey eds...I started to go post you a message at CCC :D .What if time also went back with the DATA,you'd be back at CCC :eek: :p ...
Hmmmm... He's level 1, :confused: I guess he's yard 1 maybe, b?, beats me!! :eek: LOL!! Part of the housing addy is 1 BO 1. He's only been there for a little over 2 weeks now. Maybe someone can enlighten me!! :p
daisy may 08-10-2008, 02:22 AM It means they are putting two couples at one table, if they do this i'd rather have my visits terminated. I do not want to share my time with my man with another couple.
WHAT DOES THE DOUBLING MEAN ???:mad::confused:
aliferzwife 08-10-2008, 09:04 AM They do this at KVSP to help extend visits, which were on average 90 minutes long no matter what time you got there. It really is not a big deal because one couple just turns their chairs away from the table and you don't even notice the other couple.
Also, most of us will find someone else we would prefer sharing with and then the guys just go up to the podium and say so when the room starts to get to capacity and then staff just let's us move on our own.
Doing this has extended visits in most of the rooms to at least double the time if not more. Often it means no terminations at all. :thumbsup:
MYBABY'S_WIFEY 08-10-2008, 12:04 PM Thanks daisy may and aliferzwife
i am glad i know what that means i am ok with that cause i am going to be with him not the other people so i really don't care :thumbsup:
edsbaby 08-10-2008, 12:24 PM LOL!! your to funny Taz!! :D That would kind of suck, I like visiting at COR 1. Even though I made a few friends that I could have car pooled with at CCC, I still enjoy the visits as well as the drive to COR 1.
Hey eds...I started to go post you a message at CCC :D .What if time also went back with the DATA,you'd be back at CCC :eek: :p ...
edsbaby 08-10-2008, 12:26 PM Years ago when my husband was at Solano, they would double up, it wasn't to bad. You just turn away from the other couple, plus with all the noise from everyone visiting, you really didn't hear the other couple.
Hello Ladies....................yes I would like to hear about the doubling up too if anyone has any info yet.
Thanks!
daisy may 08-10-2008, 12:57 PM What they need to do is make the visiting hours longer or ad more days to the visiting and this probelm would ot be happening or split the visiting days up. Even numbers one day, odd numbers next day. They need to add more visiting days/ Per the Title 15 it says that inmates in California Prisons should be allowed 10 hours of visits a week. How are they getting 10 hours a week if peoiple are terminated after 1.5 hours.

I agree with the rest of you that turn your chairs towards eachother if you have to share a table its not a big deal and definitely not worth willingly terminating a visit over.
Actually in the Title 15 it says...that each prison will provide a minimum of 12 HOURS of visiting per week.
So between fri/sat/and sun, they do provide over 20 hours, however this section of the title 15 was originally printed WAY before california prisons have became so over crowded too.

When my man was previously on A yard (last year), they did split the schedule either by hours/days or weekends. BUT, that was only because of the tension between the BDs & the SH's, etc... BullDogs would have one shift, Southern Hispanics would have another. Or one would have weekend, then they would flip flop it. I thought it worked fine.
daisy may 08-10-2008, 03:19 PM The inmate is not getting their 10 or 12 hours of visiting a week, just because the visiting department is open for that many hours.
Again, I'd rather not share my table with anyone and that is my choice. I go to visit my man and i do not want to see someone turning around and my table and getitng their food or drink off my table. If a couple is having a shitty visit I do not want to see them sitting directly in front of me arguing. When I take my child and someone is arguing and they are put at our table my man will go off. Him and I do not argue in front of my child so i will not allow someone else to.

daisy may 08-10-2008, 03:27 PM Junior, I remember that. If I am not mistaken other prisons in California are doing this. Maybe someone will come along and let us know.

Again- cdcr states that it PROVIDES at least 12 hours per week of TIME to visit, it doesn't state that each INMATE is guaranteed 12 hrs per week of visiting.
As for adding more visiting days/times, yea that would be nice, but thats not going to happen,not anytime soon anyway. I remember visiting on thur/fr/sat/and sunday and it was never packed, however the population of course has grown alot since the early 1990's

that is a trip cause with my bro they still do that and he is in pelican bay so every time my mom wants to visit she has to call to see who will have visit that week omg its so much drama just to be with our love ones

Just watch, you're going to have to double up with me & my husband. :ha: We argue all the time (although we're not rude or mean to each other - we just disagree a lot).
I understand what you're saying about not wanting to share tables, and that's cool. For me, I have to drive such a long distance, and don't get to visit long enough that I'd rather sit with people than to be terminated. We used to do that when he was at Calipatria, and it wasn't too bad. We usually found someone that he knew, and would double up with them.
OneManWoman 08-11-2008, 12:12 AM I will take all of the time I can get with my husband. I would just sit with another couple that we knew. The Warden was supposed to sign the papers, but there has been a delay. Then the CO's in the visiting room says we can't do it because of room capacity. Well does it really matter? Have the Fire Marshall take a walk through the prisons................they would be citing EVERY facility! No arguments from me.
hissunshine4evr 08-11-2008, 02:14 AM oh my goodness did anyone visit c yard this weekend??? it was off the hook. the cos didnt know what was up at all. it sucked because i didnt get in for days but it was nice because i havent kissed my man that much since before he went down!! it was insane!
as far as the doubling up ill do it because i come from sac so its hella far but i do know that if you do take yours kids with you they will not double you up.
MYBABY'S_WIFEY 08-11-2008, 08:37 PM OMG ... i a m so mad :angry: today i got mail from my husband and he was telling me that my mail took for ever to get to him and not only that be was all stress out thinking something happen to me the good thing is that c-8 was going get off locked down so that s a kool thing i guess so maybe he will call me soon.

Did they end up terminating anyone, as far as you know? Did you get doubled up? I'm going this coming weekend, and they'll probably have some new frustrating rule to frustrate me with.
hissunshine4evr 08-11-2008, 11:40 PM oh girl get ready!!!! :angry:i waited for 2 and a half hours to get in and they didnt even know how to terminate people. :banghead:they were asking for volunteers. seriously whos going to volunteer. i didnt get doubled up because i was one of the last people to get in. but it didnt look that bad. i would rather get doubled up and be there longer than have to leave early. but seriously sunday was off the hook. people were getting away with sooooo much it was insane to see!! i recommend getting there early. thats what im going to try and do this weekend. i usually go every other weekend but damn i want all those kisses again. i even got a foot massage. that really dosent compare to the other things that were going down but we dont get down like that. good luck
BIGGIRL123 08-12-2008, 08:09 AM Hello Im new to this i was just wondering how are the visits and what time do they start. I have a friend who is there and im planning on going to see him. YOu can pm with any information about this prison thank you so much. Shirley

Alrighty, I just sent you a very long PM regarding Corcoran. ;)
Hope it helps! :thumbsup:
OneManWoman 08-12-2008, 03:28 PM So what was up with C visiting this past weekend....................I don't get it? Was there new staff in processing AND visiting? I'm going this weekend and just a little curious. Thanks!
hissunshine4evr 08-12-2008, 04:36 PM there was the same people processing but the staff inside was different.
i think one of the normal people is supposed to be back this next weekend but i know the main lady is out for a couple more weeks. they just had no idea of what they were doing at all. it was annoying and frustrating.
OneManWoman 08-12-2008, 04:44 PM Thanks for the info. I think I would've lost my mind. Yea that lady...............she is pretty efficient and keeps things moving pretty good. Thanks again:)
hissunshine4evr 08-12-2008, 04:48 PM seriously i never really appreciated her until this last weekend and cant wait for her to come back but i am going to take advantage of the situation and go this weekend so i can touch him as much as i got to. the lil things do count and i didnt truely realize until we got into this situation!
MYBABY'S_WIFEY 08-12-2008, 07:52 PM oh girl get ready!!!! :angry:i waited for 2 and a half hours to get in and they didnt even know how to terminate people. :banghead:they were asking for volunteers. seriously whos going to volunteer. i didnt get doubled up because i was one of the last people to get in. but it didnt look that bad. i would rather get doubled up and be there longer than have to leave early. but seriously sunday was off the hook. people were getting away with sooooo much it was insane to see!! i recommend getting there early. thats what im going to try and do this weekend. i usually go every other weekend but damn i want all those kisses again. i even got a foot massage. that really dosent compare to the other things that were going down but we dont get down like that. good luck
omg you ares o lucky i hope that when i go i get that luck cause i miss
my babys kisses lol well i hope i get approve soon its been a month since i seen my paper can wait to to be all happy like you ..lol
Robbieinmyheart 08-13-2008, 02:50 PM I visited this past Sunday in A visiting. The guards were all new. People were kissing and hugging all over the place. The outside yard, the door was closed and the guards would wonder over to the window and peek out every once in awhile, but the people that were all hugged up on eachother they didn't care about! Usually "you have to keep moving!" It was great! I hope it is like that again this Sunday! I loved all the kissing....and I could tell he did too...poor guy!!:D
Junior'sQueen 08-13-2008, 06:08 PM ROBBIEINMYHEART: I have heard something of changes of CO's in the visiting rooms. I know when I use to visit in A, it was more strict; but wow, sounds like you all had a good time. That's cool.
bryansmom 08-14-2008, 11:09 AM I would like to take the time to thank everyone on this site for all the help I have gotten. I may not comment much, but I read many of these posts and they are very helpful. I only wish I had found this site years ago, my son has been to prison 4 times, luckily not long terms. I had so many questions and no where to get the answers. Many times I have lost hope over those years, but I come here and I see ladies who's men have very long terms and they seem to still have a positive outlook. Sharing experiences and tips on how to cope with the system have been the most helpful for me.
Best of luck to all.
:thumbsup:

Harv*sGirl 08-18-2008, 12:16 PM Just curious ladies... How did the visits go this weekend? Were they just as loose as last weekend? Did anyone visit on B yard?!? Was it just as busy and crazy as the rest of the yards?
I was not going to go down an visit anymore because it is a long way and my boyfriend will be home next month but all this talk about kisses and foot rubs makes me want to go down there.
Junior'sQueen 08-18-2008, 01:27 PM Harv*sGirl: I just wanted to wish you the best as I have read that your man is coming home NEXT month! That is soooo awesome. :thumbsup:
Congratulations!
hissunshine4evr 08-18-2008, 02:00 PM visits were great this weekend. i went to c yard and they weren't as laid back as last weekend but i didnt get cut and got to be there all day. it was wonderful. we had a really great visit. i love my babe so much. hope everyone has a great week!!!
hiscoqui 08-19-2008, 05:44 PM Hello girls!! My friend has just been transferred from ASU to B yard:beer::yay:yeaayy. I called and they said he was assigned a counselor and out of orientation , that was pretty quick not to mention his letter said he got transferred to main line on the 13th of this month. So anywhoo does that mean he can get visits?? how is B yard visits?? and do u take dollars, quarters??:confused: and what else......:rolleyes: uhmm..... and how do u know if they have visits if they dont update the 1-800# :mad: i gues thats all the questions for now... thanks!!! also how do u know if they get friday visits.... ok that was the last one :o thanks!!!
Junior'sQueen 08-19-2008, 06:16 PM WELCOME!
Sure sounds like he can have visits! Yeah! B Yard visits are good. Weekends tend to get crowded, but Friday's are best. I think the visiting will calm down a bit after summer. I know alot of folks fly into town to visit, people are off of work, etc.. so I think it tends to get more crowded around summer break.
There is a change machine there, that will change UP TO a $20 bill. You can take in quarters & dollar coins. I prefer the dollar coins myself. You can wear backless sandals, flip flops. One ring set, one earring set, necklace, etc. No other body piercings, no toe rings. The 800 # has been better than the past. I always check it on Thurs night & Friday morning. And sometimes call directly to COR to make sure visits are happening. Friday visits are for everyone that are allowed contact visits. (as far as I know of, I've never heard different)
Hope this info has helped! Take care and good luck!

hiscoqui 08-19-2008, 07:13 PM Thanks juniorsqueen! I have been visiting him in ASU for like 10 months already so I kinda know the dress code. I was just wondering about the money, does the change machine there give u dollar quarters? So no one takes $1 bills? Ok so what does it mean when it says disciplinary free inmates only for the fridays? Sounds good I haven't had a contact visit with him so I'm soo excited I'm going for labor day weekend to see him! How scary! LoL I'm just worried about all this terminating visits I don't want to get the boot our first visit!! Ok ill be back later!
hiscoqui 08-21-2008, 03:13 PM hey girls just wanted to say have great visits who ever goes this weekend. Ill be rollin up next weekend!! cant wait!!! havea great weekend!!!
edsbaby 08-22-2008, 12:26 AM Just thought I'd stop by and say HELLO!!!! :wave: Trying to wait patiently for Sunday to get here so I can go see my hunny!! :lovestruck: I hope all are having a good week!!! And Hopefully getting lots of letters/calls!!! If your visiting this weekend, have a Wonderful visiting and drive safely!!!! :thumbsup:
Junior'sQueen 08-22-2008, 02:07 AM YES, visiting tomorrow. It has been 4 weeks since I have seen him, which seems like forever! Looking forward to it. And have a good carpool. Yeah!:thumbsup:
Everyone, visiting or not, have a Fun and Safe Weekend!;)
Junior'sQueen 08-23-2008, 03:56 PM Ok ladies (and gents) just a prewarning......... It had been 4 weeks since I had visited my baby, and well, alot has changed. All I am gonna say is, B and C visiting is beyond strict, over the top! Nothing like I have ever seen before in all my years. The dudes are cool. Enough said. Just be careful cause you can EASILY get terminated without a warning for any itty bitty slight "wrong" move. For the smallest little things that in my opinion are not wrong. I was wow'd yesterday at reactions, words, etc...... Soooo BE ON YOU BEST BEHAVIOR!!!
SGV girl 08-23-2008, 04:45 PM I hate to be the party pooper on here, but are we all not aware that in addition to the CO's in the visiting room, there are MAD cameras all over the place? Anything you think you "Got away with" was recorded, and they notify you of this before you go in. That means, if they review and see inappropriate touching, kissing, or anything else, your visits could be suspended, terminated, or your man can be disciplined. Best to not try and get over, and just follow the rules, before they make them even more strict. :(

Sounds like it already happened!! :eek:
Junior'sQueen 08-23-2008, 05:10 PM No, nothing happened, and no, we weren't trying to "get way with" anything. I know about the cameras, etc.... We did not do inappropriate anything. I know the rules, regs, etc. been doing this for 26 years. Not ONCE have I done anything, especially to EVER be spoken to the way I was or my man, EVER. It went on all day yesterday. It was a very sad day. I did not try to get over anything! I'm a veteran at this and I know my man is coming home soon, and I would never jeopardize my husband's situation, nor would he.

I wasn't trying to be accusing, but a few posts were saying they were "taking advantage" of situations of CO's being unaware. That concerns me for all that follow the rules, that's all I was trying to say. The CO's all catch crap when those tapes are reviewed, and get yelled at for things they missed going on...and guess what? Crap rolls downhill, so guess who gets it next? Us, and our loved ones. When I went to visit, the CO's were extremely rude, and my man told me it was because they'd all just received a major chewing for things like that. I would hate to see my visits or anyone else's messed up...that's all. Sorry :(
SGV girl 08-23-2008, 09:05 PM Hey guys, I was just wondering if it is easier to deal with time when you know their release date, or is it easier for you if you don't know? My man gets out in February of 09, and though I am grateful beyond measure that he is coming home soon, it seems to make these last few months he has left just DRAGGGG on by. I think maybe he shouldn't have told me sometimes! What do you all think????
SGV girl 08-23-2008, 09:09 PM During my visit to Corcoran, I was talkin to my babe, and realized...I have been to wayyyyy too many California prisons during the 15 years we have been in a relationship! Wayside, L.A County, NKSP, Donovan, Susanville, Norco, and Corcoran. I feel like I know where way too many of these places are! Anyone else played this game with their man? :mad:
poodlegirl 08-23-2008, 10:27 PM I know last weekend the guards were all wound up too. They terminated the couple next to us because they were sitting "too close". They didn't look too close to me (but being a visitor I don't have a say in the matter, and it really wasn't any of my business anyway.) It just looked like they were sitting closer than the visiting room approved 90 degree angle that they make you sit at at corcoran.
By they way, did they double up tables again this weekend? It was wierd, 'cuz they did last weekend, but still some people's visits were terminated due to overcrowding.
edsbaby 08-23-2008, 10:55 PM WOW!! Hopefully Level 1 won't be this way. Even though I am ALWAYS on my best behavior, I will make doublely sure I am tomorrow.
edsbaby 08-23-2008, 11:09 PM It's been my personal experience that when you reach that year mark, that first month or two seem to fly by. But then all of a sudden, you hit (where We're at now) just under 9 months (8mons 3 weeks) and it seems like its taking forever to get to 8 months no weeks!! The last time we did this, once we hit the 6 month mark it started to fly by so fast!! It seemed like I didn't have enough time to get things ready for him to come home. But we will see how it goes this time around!! :confused: Did I make any sense?? :D

Well, I only went yesterday, Friday. Someone told me they heard in processing, that someone did say they were planning on doubling up if it got too crowded.
Next weekend, Labor Day weekend, I'm sure it is going to be SOOOO crowded due to the long weekend and before some folks leave out of town, go back to school & work. Whatcha think???
edsbaby 08-24-2008, 06:29 AM I was thinking the same thing!! Labor day weekend, its a 4 day visiting weekend. So I would imagine that there will be lots of people.

well my husband comes home in feb 2010 and i love the fact that i know that way i could ask for some time off at work and just stay home with him and also go pick him up and do things with him that we have not done in a long time but i love it.

Yes, it'll be busy. Last labor day weekend it was busy fri/sat/sun, and then not too busy on monday. Hopefully it won't be too busy this labor day monday.
hiscoqui 08-24-2008, 10:01 PM Hey girls! Wooow all this talk about them being strict, over crowding, terminating is giving me knots in my stomach. Our first contact visit is this Labor Day weekend, I understand it will be crowded cause its a 4 day weekend but I gotta see my hunny!!

Aaaggghh I'm scared now! lol well hope u all had a great weekend and wish you all a great week!

Junior'sQueen 08-25-2008, 01:53 AM this is exactly what I was saying to a friend of mine tonight.......stating how things get so busy in visiting, especially at the end of summer; everyone trying to get as many visits in before kids go back to school/college, going back to work, traveling back out of town. Visiting will eventually calm down.........eventually. I can't wait. :D ;) :rolleyes:
yeah, one more weekend before summer ends, it's always like that.

sanchezct 08-29-2008, 09:57 AM Hello everyone. We are at the end of August now and another month closer.
How is everyone? How have visits been. I just want to let you all know i went to visit last Friday and well i was so happy to see my husband but it was so crowded and very very hot. The A/C didn't work well. I think i might just stick to the Saturday or Sunday visits i took a day off and well it really wasn't much better.
daisy may 08-29-2008, 10:39 AM You gotta remember it is the end of summer so visiting is going to be worse. When kids are back in school fridays are the shit. They only get half full usually.
Junior'sQueen 08-29-2008, 12:10 PM You gotta remember it is the end of summer so visiting is going to be worse. When kids are back in school fridays are the shit. They only get half full usually.
Right on girlfriend, I totally agree with you. Friday's will go back to the way they use to be. It is only because it is Summer. It always seems to get like this. The half filled rooms will be back, and I can't wait to go again. Sept 5, here I come. ;)
sanchezct 08-29-2008, 04:20 PM Well i hope so that would be nice. Because visiting on C yard is so full and packed.
Plus i had the most fun with my great carpool buddy " Elotes "

Junior'sQueen 09-01-2008, 01:49 AM Wow, I can't believe tomorrow is Sept 1. Time is flying by. Next thing you know it will be Christmas!!! AND it also means yet more months closer to our men coming home to us. Well, at least I keep praying for that day!
Have a wonderfu Labor Day on Monday everyone. School starts back over here for my son this Tuesday. WOW, he's a Senior!!!
