I am a new member of PTO and new at all this. my husband is in FCI EL RENO. At first it wasn't all that hard for me. But then he got moved from gen population to the SHU. And now i can only talk to him once a week. They told him that he was going to serve the rest of his sentence in the SHU.:(
He has 9 months to go.

Hi Kidswife03 My name is Sarah and I want to welcome you to PTO and to us Okies little corner here. I am not really familair with the Federal system but I will listen anytime you want or need to talk. My fiancee is serving a 7 year sentence we are hoping to see the end of it soon since we go tto parole in Jan 2004 and he is being moved to a halfway house as we speak. I know how hard having them away can be and we are all here to help anyway we can.

May I ask what SHU is? Guess I'm not familiar with it.

That was going to be my question.

SHU MEANS SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT.

Hello Kidswife03 :wave: Welcome to pto! Sorry to hear that your Hubby is in SHU, and only gets 1 call a week, but hopefully the letters are more often. Only 9 months to go, that is great, that should just fly by. Stay strong, it will be over befor ya know it. Good Luck ;)

Why would they move someone to SHU?

Welcome to PTO!!!

Thanks for the answer and welcome to pto

THEY WILL MOVE SOME ONE TO THE SHU IF THEY HAVE A SHOT AGAINST THEM. SOME OF THEM STAY THERE FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THERE SENCTANCE. SOME OF THEM GET TRANSFERED TO ANOTHER UNIT AND SOME LUCKY ONES GET
SENT TO HALFWAY HOMES.

Howdy kid glad to see ya here with us okla. group we a pretty good bunch of people and were always here to help any way we can hang in there it will get better

Hi Kidswife and welcome to PTO!

I would have welcomed you sooner...but I don't visit the state forums often. You can usually find me in the federal area.

I know how you feel with having him on the SHU. My man..who is in federal as well...has been on the SHU since 11-26-02...yup over a year! And its not looking promising right now! But..no sense in complaining...the BOP won't change for that!

If you ever have questions dealing with the federal system...stop by the federal folder. Hopefully we will be able to assist you!

Glad your here with us!

Hi, I am new to this also. My honey just was moved from Muskoge Co. to Lexington for Assessment and Relocation. Parole Revocated for 6 yr. He better be good and get that time down! We have a daughter that is just 10 months old. We need him around.

Hi supermom and welcome to our little corner of cyber space. I wish the best for you guys I myself am in the home stretch we see the parole board TUESDAY and even if he doesn't make that he will discharge in November of this year.
