Hi everyone. Thanks for being there. OK. Problem is I have called DVI and left messages with the inmate health care office and the visiting sargeant. I need to know how to send him contact lenses (he has lost one and is very near sighted) and I'd like to find out if our visiting forms have been received also if they follow him? After all no word and it's been 6 wks. His folks are so worried. He's also very afraid not being able to see. I have left over 5 messesages over the past 3 weeks and never get an answer back. Now, my sweetie is waiting in a dorm to be transfered to who knows where...counselor recomended Folsum or Salono. He only has 8 pts but was taking paxil (not currently) and they lost the forms. What does that mean? His points triple? He has been waiting for about 11 days now. I could just scream. I don't even know what I really need to do hear. Can't get any answers any where. Don't even know if I should just sit tight and wait to see or what is next since he may be already gone and I just don't know it. Can some one give me guidance?

Wow lots of questions.
Let me see if I can get them all.

Contact Lenses. In order to send these in, he has to be approved for them to be sent in. The medical staff will provide him a CDC-128C authorizing this. Once he sends you this chrono (128C) you can send in the contacts, but make sure to include a copy of the chrono with the contacts and don't tamper with the factory packaging.

Phone Messages. Don’t wait for a returned phone call. Before budget cuts, staff found it was impossible to find the time to get everything done. With the cuts sorry to say phone calls from family members are now priority (put the amount of the budget deficit here). I know it's a bad answer, but I don't see it getting any better.

Transfers. Bottom line is he goes were there is a bed space regardless of where he wants to go and regardless of where the counselor recommends. If he asks for a place that has a bed, lucky him, he goes were he wanted.

Taking Paxil. I’m not familiar with this MED and it is not on the formulary for heat sensitive medication. If he is part of the mental health services delivery system, his point could increase by 4, but not triple (unless they were one point)

Getting answers from CDC (i think you just did, see above)… I’ll leave that one alone; maybe someone else can enlighten you on that one.

Thanks oneway for the excellent info. I got a letter today. He is at old folsum and I am approved for visiting. He said he got the approval form the day he left. Now I suppose I have to try and find out if his visiting packet was sent with him? Hum, that should be interesting. I will tell him about the contacts. He said he is in "the fish bowl"??? Now I am wandering if he can have visits while there and what type of mail he can recieve and how long it's going to take to get to him. ASny advice?

visiting. The visiting package was probably not sent with him, however since all the instituions are link together via DDPS you should be approved at FOL. What should have happened at DVI is that once you were approved your approval was put into the DDPS terminal and is now available to his new institution. But from reading PTO threads that in one area that CDC seems to be lacking in. My expireance is that the system works, so you should have no problem visiting.
Mail. I have no clue. All the mail rooms are severly impacted due to budget cuts. Insitutions use to augment the mail room staff with light duty officers but with budget cuts most institution have stopped this practice and are operating within exisiting staffing. Also since the mailroom is a less then desirable place to work most people transfer out when an opening comes up in another section of the operations, and the mailroom gets short staffed.

Again, sincere a thank you. Who does someone contact regarding the visiting forms? Do I just call and try to make a visiting appt? Something else he has been trying to do is get a form 1381 which may enable him to serve time for the offense he was on probation for consecutively. I'm sure he would have to do the time. He was convicted of strong arm robbery did 9 mos (6 in jail and 3 in a recovery program) then had a violation last jan. and did a 6 month program. The day he was picked up for GTA he was supposed to be in court and they issued a warrant. All this old stuff was in a nother county and his PO didn't know what was going on until his father called and advised him. Now about that form should I go to the legal forum? Again thank you. Lori

He was/is a 1381 Guru and posted a thread all about the process it will be the definate answer to all your questions on the process,

Bottom line is that the inmate should get this from from the legal law library. It is a common form and they should have tons of them. He fills it out and sends it to records where a CCRA (kittie for example, just another one of her many many jobs) sends it to the courts and tracks the possible holds. It is important for the inmate to send it via records so that when it comes back, any hold is removed from the OBIS system so as not to impact his parole.

He needs to fill out at 1381 and send it to his assigned Analyst and if she is doing her job should be able to clear up any holds, etc. Doing this in prison is better then getting released to a hold to another police agency.

Send him to the Law Library and get the form and send it on its way.

See I told you the aliens released my brain back.

OK, I think I got it, by george! First I send him to the law library to get the form. How does he get to the law library? Does he have to have special privileges to get there? Then he fills it out and gives it to his analyst? What is a analyst and how does he contact this person? What sort of information does he need to complete the form? Does the analyst send it to the DA in Humbolt county or does she send it to the courts? Or maybe his old PO? Does this cost money? I know so many questions...what can I say? Just thank you sooo much. Lori

Sometimes the units will have a 1381. He knows where the law library is. he can't give it to the Analyst. He needs to mail it to her (interoffice). No money involved. This is part of his/her job. I would usually call the police departments, pull up rapsheets and warrant checks, etc. But that was me.

:idea: Again thank you. I need to write this all down and get it in the mail to him. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Lori
