I have been sentenced to 27 months at the Duluth Prison Camp. It is very low security, so I understand. I self surrender on November 29th at 2pm.

What can I expect? I have read about other camps, but I am hoping that someone will have some specific info for Duluth.

Here is what I know. It is a converted Air Force base. There is a 300 seat theatre, bowling alley, tennis/raquetball court and so on. I am sure they are not the nicest and I am positively sure it is not going to be the mythical "Club Fed" that I constantly hear about.

I know I can survive it, but this unknown is killing me. I have bought the book on prisons by David Novak that I have seen mentioned in other messages so I know the basic rules.

I will have to really remember the no whining one. :D

I do have medication for asthma that I absolutely need so I will bring it with me when I self surrender.

I know this questions as probably been answered many times before. I am sorry for that. I am just on edge with worry, no strike that, I am scared sh*tless!

Thanks for any help.

Hi Dufuego

Unfortunately, I won't answer any of your questions, I really don't know !!! :( To be honest, I don't even konw where is Duluth !! But many other "smarter" members will sure be more helpful !! :)
I just want to welcome you to the PTO family, and hope than during the next week, you'll get all the informations you need.
I wish you good luck, and sincerly hope those 27 months will go by quick.
All the best, and feel free to ask or post whatever you want to know before 11/29.
I'll keep you in my thoughts

Thank you for your thoughts.

Duluth is in Minnesota. I live in Minneapolis so I will already be used to the cold there.

Funny, I went to the University of Minnesota, Duluth and when I graduated I swore I never wanted to go back.

Go figure.

Unfortunately, you know that we can never say never ...

Well thank you for locating Duluth for me. And I'm not that dumb, I know where Minnesota is ! :)
According to your name, Dufuego, I think you won't have any problem with the cold !! :D

All the best
Philippe

I should have some info for you on it later tonight, dufuego.

Thanks Fed-X!
