Does anyone know how to get a special request through for a visitor? My son is at Bibb and his new list is to take effect June 22. My sister is flying down from Pennsylvania to see him June 13. He had thought his new list would be effective then, but had gotten the dates wrong. She has to be listed as the female friend since she is an aunt and not a sister, mother , or grandmother. I called the wardens' office and just spoke with an assistant that barely listened to me and I was unable to say all I meant to about it being a one time visit, etc. She called back later and left a message just saying the special request was denied. Do I dare call back and ask to speak to someone else? As far as I know they do not have counselors at Bibb. My sister wants to see him so bad and the sad part is that six days after she flies home she will be on his list, but won't be able to come back. On top of that he removed his girlfriend's name so that his aunt could see him and now he won't even be able to let his girlfriend come for the next six months. Any advice on who I might could call that would have a heart and help?

It wouldn't hurt to call again, but honestly I think you're fighting a losing battle. Bibb is a real pain about special visits. It took me over 3 months to get "approved" for visit's..
Because i had been arrested 17 years ago and have a complete pardon. I had to mail them my pardon along with letter from my job and my church to get approved.

For that reason Kenny NEVER changes his visitation list OR phone list in fear of how long it would take for them to get it right..

But don't drop it...put something in writing to them. via mail, not phone calls....something about it being mail to them seems to make some difference...good luck

Thank you sweety. I will try that. Do you have a fax number for Bibb?

Doeadearr...i don't have a fax number and i've looked for one but can't find one..it must be top secret!!! did you find out anything?

Hi Denise thank you for checking on me. No, I humbled myself to call again today and beg but received a curt No Way. It amazes me how cold some of those people at the prisons can be. It seems many of them have no heart.

Doeadearr, I am sorry to hear that they aren't approving him his visit with his aunt. I hope they come around, and you find a way to make this happen don't give up!!!
Love

TA TAHS LADIES TA TAHS.....please dont make me repeat myself again, just do as they request and no one gets hurt!!

Thank you Brandi....I don't think it is going to happen now. I don't know why I am surprised at the callousness shown to the families but I still am.

Hey I really feel for you...Bibb seems to be real good at making things impossible just because they can. My son is fixing to try to set up a special visit so I can see what we are in store for. He has to see the classification officer sometime soon and plans on dealing with her in person instead of a request. Will let you know how it goes.

I'm so sorry they are acting this way!! Me and Kevin had a rough time tryin' to get a special visit approved when I miscarried our son...it never was approved. IMO...I don't think they approve a whole lot of the special visit requests. I hope they change their minds though...and let his aunt visit. (((((huggs)))))

I just now read this post Selena. Thank you for the good wishes for my son to get to see his aunt, my sister. It didn't work out by about a week. He had not been sure when the new list would come out and it came out a week after my sister had flown back to Pennsylvania. I had to drive to see him by myself leaving her at my mother's house and we had planned the trip for months. I was just sick about it.And what would it have hurt anyone? She had been approved, it was just a little earlier. I just will never understand people treating other people like this.
