Hi, Im completely new to all of this. My boyfriends mother just went to prison November 17th for DWI charges, and was at Bedford Hills, then got moved moved to a place called Taconic. We are going to visit her on saturday and I was wondering if anyone has any info on this place because I cant find anything anywhere. She called my boyfriend and asked him if we could bring her down a ton of stuff...like make up and nail polish...and whatever we can get our hands on. For trading? I dont know if as visitors we are going to be able to bring all of that stuff. She just found out also that she is going to have to be there for 2 years...So...I guess what Im just asking is some info on this place...what you can bring in, etc. Thanks a lot, hope someone can help :)

Welcome to PTO. I would call and ask, here's all I found on DOC site:

Taconic Correctional Facility
250 Harris Road
Bedford Hills, New York 10507-2498
(914) 241-3010 (Westchester County)
Route (I-90) East to Taconic Parkway (South) to Interstate
84 East to Interstate 684 South, to Exit 5 Saw Mill
River Parkway. Take Exit 43 to Harris Road. Take first
left turn onto Harris Road. Go up hill, then down to
Facility on left (Bedford Hills on right).
(Approximately 130 miles)

I am going to move this to the NY forum so maybe someone there who is used to the prison there can help you out more, but I wanted to WELCOME you to PTO...
