Hello Everyone ...

I'm basically a person that always tries to see both sides of a situation ... but I am certainly struggling with the "rules" for detention inmates.. even more confusing to me is WHY DOC moves inmates around for no apparent reason. After 6 months in Tucson he was moved to Douglas - Mohave Unit. Within 3 weeks everything went to HELL :( He voluntarily moved to CDU (due to safety issues) and now he's being treated like the situation was his fault, instead of being the victim. Now his commissary is basically nothing (he's got bad food allergies and WAS SURVIVING on the food from commissary) .. our letters are even slower then before .. his property is being taken and not delivered as per ADC regulations ... basically LIFE SUCKS. Visitation is now non-contact 2 hours on TUESDAYS .. TUESDAYS! :angry: I work full-time time and live 200 miles away .. so you can imagine HOW fun THAT IS.
Doing TIME is difficult enough .. without what few rights and priviledges you have being taken away from you .... No matter .. we only have 7 months to go and I'll stand by him and be strong. I love him.

So sorry to hear about your situation, Missing. I have to envy you--only 7 mos. to go--mine has 7 yrs. When my friend was in the hole, I sent letters or cards every day--wrote as if I was talking to him on the phone and he said he felt like I was there with him. Hope he gets out soon and stays safe. Keep us posted.

Thank you Chintath ... I do realize how fortunate we are .. and I am thankful for the good things. ;) His safety is my number one priority .. and although I miss him terribly I wouldn't trade a visitation day for his safety no matter what. :no: He writes more often now, because he no longer has a job assignment. He's been a house porter and basically worked constantly and when he wasn't he was sleeping. I try and find the positives in each day because if I don't figure out how to hold on, how will he? :confused: My letters to him gives him the scoop on the homefront, family community and such .. I make certain he knows I keep him alive and in the foreground as to assure him everyone knows he'll be home .. where he belongs. My family is not exactly pleased with my choice to continue to love him .. but then again I didn't ask for anyones approval. You love who you love without restriction... life is what it is. :cool:
Thanks for your best wishes.

Im so sorry you and your man are going through this! I know the feeling like nothing you do or say means anything. I have been there with my son being shipped 12,000 miles away and all they could tell me is because he is a good prisoner and is less likely to cause any trouble!!! this is his reward for good behavior? He has been at Newton TX for 5 months and has already had two major violations . So for my sons one major mistake that put him there ,will return him home to one of my worst fears.
