View Poll Results: Which FCI Medium are/have you been affected by?
None, I did my time in state prison and county jail. For what it's worth, Otisville and Ray Brook are basically luxury prisons. That's where they send white collar criminals. Has a good reputation among inmates!
My hubby is in a medium FCI mckean and I was thinking about trying to get him a cell phone to help us be in contact more. This limited talking is stressing out our marriage . Does anyone have experience with this that can help me??

Loved one just got transferred to Pekin from Canaan/Pennsyvania. I'm also in Iowa. Our phone Service was "Hosted Numbers" Service, but they don't have any local numbers for Pekin, IL. So been unable to speak lately, just Cards & letters. He got work right off, went from Top Cook to food server now starting over. But, we are a couple hours away. Was waiting for the holidays to be over before seeing him, but am going to get on the Website & read up on visitation info. Don't have to fill visitation forms out again, found that out, also sending M/O's to the same place, so not much changes except phone & mailing address. If any visitation insight, I would appreciate it.
Can you send food items to prisoners in forrest meduim. Alos had to you get them transferred closer to you. in texas you can right your senator and they move them 200miles closer.
My husband is in FCI Fairton I miss him more and more every day. The children and I are so heart broken I'm just trying to stay strong for all of us but it is hard; especially when you are doing it all alone without any family support.

My sons father did time there. He says its one of the cleaner facilities and not too much trouble. hopefully yours finds his way home to you soon.
My husband's, currently at FCI McKean. We're awaiting his resentencing...I need him home sooner then later as his current sentence has him away for 2 more decades 😑
