My fiance is at hays annex. I am going to visit him Saturday. I have been to visit him plenty of times at Coastal before he was transferred to Hays so I know the general rules of visitation but I'm curious what visitation is like at hays. How do I know the difference between the annex and general population? Can you enter the grounds before 9 and is there a long line to get in? I appreciate any and all info. Thankyou!

KMC....my fiance was just shipped there last week and ive been trying since then to find out all that i can about this prison so far i havent had ne luck....I havent been to vist yet but i will soon...if i find out anything about this prison i will be sure to let you know.

I went to visit my fiance this weekend at Hays annex. It went great! Everyone there is very nice. The room is very small compared to other prisons and there is a little 12 by 12 table in between to put food on. It was a very relaxed environment. The chairs are all placed next to each other since its a small room so not much privacy with your conversation. They have you hang up your jacket on the wall when you first come in so if you're cold natured like me it's best to wear long sleeves or a sweatshirt.

My husband is at Hays he has been there almost a year he was first in annx but was just recently moved to the firehouse, the officers (most of them anyway) are pretty nice especially officer Willingham she was there this past weekend. My husband says the annex is pretty descent and the officers respect him as long as you stay out of trouble and follow the rules, The counselors have been real nice when I call there , anytime I have an issue and I call it's fixed Immediatley they even lost a watch I sent my husband and went and bought him a new one! Now he is in the Firehouse and is a Fire Fighter and he loves it over there but soon he will be shipped off to go do the RSAT program!!! Then Home Yeah !!!!

Is your husband in hays 2 annx or the main prison?

I also have a son at Hay's state Prison..He's been there for a year now. He is in the annex.

My man is at Hays and has been there almost 7 years there is good and bad but for the most part its a pretty good prison compared to most. The C.O.s there are pretty good there only trying to do there job not be over powering. I visit every weekend and holiday so pretty much know everyone. If i can be of help to anybody I'm here. Take care and keep faith!

Welcome to PTO, Carman. We are all here for ya.

I was recently released from Hays in June, and I can answer some questions...

i do have a few question's that maybe you can help me with ok to make a long story short my fiance had got locked down due to being caught with drugs on him which he says that the drugs was not his that he was passing what he was believed to be a note to one of the inmates for another inmate but the c.o took it from him before he was able to give it to the inmate that he was passing it to and thats when he realized that it wasnt a note as he believed that it was..ok so the day after that i went to go vist him and thats when the officer said that my vists had been revolked due to the fact he was caught with drugs and the warden had a hold on him so of course i had to leave with no vist and very upset so that following Monday i check my mail to find a letter from the prison it self stating that our vists was revolked due to drugs not only did i get the letter but so did his dad well a few weeks later i called to the prison to find out how much longer his vists were going to be revolked and the lady i spoke with said that they had been revolked for 6 months so of course i talked to her a lil longer and she said she would talk to the warden him self to see if there would be any way that they could reduce it to 3 months and so she did and the warden agreed to reduce it...ok getting to the point as im talking with her i bring up the drug charge of course since that was the reason that lead him to be locked down and his vists to be revolked but she proceeds to tell me that he doesnt have a drug charge on him that he was charged with a cell phone and they have taking a warrent out on him and he is waiting to go to court...so im confused at this point as well as shocked so im kinda lost for words but then i asked her how that could be when they even sent out the letter stating to me that it was drugs and she really couldnt answer that but yet she tells me that she is the one who types the letters and sends them out to the inmates family members but she doesnt remember sending that to me so she tells me that she would check into it and see what she can find out and that as soon as she finds something out that she would call me and let me know something but she never calls me back so i wait and call back the next day and she said she didnt get the chance to check on it but would have answers for me by the end of the day but again she didnt and when i call to find something out i never get to speak with her only her voice mail and she falls to return my phone calls....i have spoke with my fiance many times about this and he still says he was caught with drugs and not a cell phone!!!! so im very confused and dont know who to talk to about this...i am very aware that both charges are bad but from what i understand is that a cell phone charge is way worse than a drug charge but either way my main concern is that he shouldnt be being charged for something that he was never caught with to began with!!!! sorry 4 such a long but yet short story but if any of you have ever been through this or have any helpfull advise to share with me it will be greatly appreciated!!!! THANKS

So let me see if I have this straight...

Your guy passed a "note" that had drugs and he is now charged with a cell phone and your visits are revoked?

What is your question?

They are serious about the no cell phone rule. They've got a new warden at Hays and there was that escape not so long ago. I have told my boyfriend that he better NEVER call me from one of those damn things. It's not worth the risk as you are finding out.

yes he was caught with a note that had drugs and our visits were revoked but not any more!!! there saying he was caught with a cell phone but he wasnt they even sent me a letter saying it was drugs and said nothing about a cell phone untill i called to speak with them on his behalf and thats when she the lady i was speaking with said that he was charged with a cell phone so another words they are charging him for something he wasnt even caught with!!! my question is who do i need to speak with to get this taking care of!! hope you understand what im saying and is able to help!

If it were me, I'd go visit and find out what really happened. You're not married yet so they may not tell you much but your man might. Whether it was a cell phone or drugs, he was in the wrong for being in possession of them and I don't believe that story about the note. Neither will anybody else.

D's angel-
Who is the lady that is giving you this info? Is she the chief counselor? If there is a phone number listed on the letter they sent to both you and his father, that is the number I would call to get answer to my questions. They are treating cellphone confiscations MUCH more severely than drugs. The inmate can add up to five years on his sentence. I hope you can get to the bottom of this.

conpal...thanks and i am planing a trip to see him soon! as far as you believeing the story about the note i could careless the question was who should i speak with about them charging him for something that he never had in his possession to began with not whether or not you believe the story!! and yes i'll be the first to say that he was in the wrong for having drugs on him whether he got caught or had never been caught at all!! but it still aint right for them to be charging him for something that he never had a part in.

Lorna....the lady that i spoke with said that she works in the office with deputy warden Lee.

We had a great visit. I felt they were very leanient(sp). We were able to keep our legs touching even tho across from each other, hold hands,kiss and hug...you just can't get carried away with PDA,lol. Discretion is somewhat the better part of valor,lol.

Discretion makes it even more special IMO. :)

Its seems more like a sweet torment to me:D

my ex husband is at hays state prison our youngest daughter wants to go visit him .....
