Hi Elmo...
just want to welcome you here ...sorry can´t help you
on your Question .
All the Best to you

Moving post to the Federal Forum since this is a question regarding a Federal Prison.

Welcome to PTO Elmo!

For a sentence under 1 year, 1 day there is no good time.

Not sure we ever had information on this camp but if you do a search we have had others talk about camps in different locations here on PTO.

If you need assistance with the search feature, just let us know!

Glad you have found us!

I live about 15 minutes from pensacola and I know of no federal prison camp there but there is a work release camp and there are a small amount of people there, i believe that they fail under the escambia county jail cause when i went to see my son they had the visiting hours posted for the road prison camp and the address so that people could write to them, I think that you are lucky since you are going to get to go straight there I know alot of people whom had to wait to get in a work release program but I do wish you the best of luck.

Hey I also forget to say that my son was sentenced to 1 year and 9 days and he earned 10 days of gain time every month of good behavior, but he did lose his days for march cause he wanted to do something stupid (like getting a tatoo). So hang in there and try to make the best of it, and brighter days will be aheld for you...

vikki's post refers to state sentences, not federal.

There is a Federal Prison Camp at Pensacola. Of that I am certain.

If you don't receive any (or many) responses to your questions about Pensacola, ask a more general questions of what is it like being in a federal prison camp. Pensacola is going to be very similar to Eglin, Seymour Johnson, and Nellis. Between those 4 places, you are bound to find a decent description of life in a camp.

Hang in there.

Greyghost-

I'm sorry I didn't know that and please forgive me for that mistake.
