CathyFL,
James was there before another time when he was in. He is at Gulf now 5 hours away from me and New River East was one of the places he was considering when he is eligible to request a transfer. He said it wasn't bad but that was also some years ago. I know that isn't much help but hope it eases your mind a little. :)

Union was the old State Prison. They built FSP on the same tract of land.
I visit Lawtey all the time and New River East is nowhere to be seen. I dunno..

Florida State Prison, Union CI, New River East and West and Lawtey CI share the same address.When you write, you must not forget the last 4 digits after the ZIP code.
FSP: 32026-1000
Lawtey CI: 32026-2000
New River East and West: 32026-3000
UCI: 32026-4000
For instance, when I write Joey at FSP, I write 32026-1120.

Yes, FSP, Union, and New River are all together. Lawtey is nearby. All the mail goes thru one mailroom.
