Thank you in advance for taken place in our polls!
Thank you, i have been on this site for hours and still can't figure it out. How do i find someone that knows anything about the camp in Marianna, FL. I need some answers fast, i'm running out of time
my beau was just assigned to POLLOCK FEDERAL PRISON CAMP in Pollock, Louisiana. i have not been able to find any information on this camp, but i do know that it is a satellite camp off the USP Pollock. if anyone has info regarding this camp, and directions from houston to pollock, la. , i would appreciate it very much. thanks.
The United States Penitentiary (USP) in Pollock, Louisiana is a high security institution housing male offenders. An adjacent satellite prison camp houses minimum security male offenders.
USP Pollock is located in central Louisiana and is surrounded by the Kisatchie National Forest in southeastern Grant Parish, Louisiana. The facility is situated approximately fifteen miles north of Alexandria, Louisiana.
Take Interstate 10 E from Houston toward Baton Rouge. At Layfayette take Hiway 49 North. Take the Pineville Express way North. Take the hiway 165 exit. Proceed 7 miles through Town of Ball. Look for a sign that says USP. Make a Left on Airbase Road.
Keep the Faith
Michael

Thank you Michael, for the info on Pollock, especially the driving directions from Houston. It appears to be a four hour drive from Houston, which means no day trips. i can't drive at night due to night blindness. We were hoping he would be transferred to Beaumont Low, which is only a 1 1/2 hour drive away, but he was assigned to a Camp in another state. At least he will be in a Camp now, and have a little more freedom. Your information is always appreciated, thanks again.

My fiance was just taken to Texarkana Camp today, so everything is new to me beings he has been held in a state facility up until now. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
This is my first post on this site. My daughter arrived at FPC Lexington KY last Thursday. One week later, still no orientation, no commissary. Any info on this would be most appreciated.
My son is in Atlanta's Satellite camp. I can only tell you that he had to spend over a week in what they call "the hole" before he was taken to his present dorm so there was no commisary til he got there. Hope this helps!
CJ's mom--it might be 3 or 4 weeks until you hear from her, but hear from her you will, eventually.
I remember being so distraught not hearing from my boyfriend (no phone call, no letter, didn't even know where he was AT ALL) for 3 weeks. I burst into tears one day at work, crumpled up and sobbing in the arms of a co-worker *very inappropriate!* but I heard from Matt 2 days later. Keep the faith, she'll be in touch as soon as she can.
My two sons will self surrender two weeks from today to Texarkana. It is a 7 hour drive for me so phone and letters are going to be so important to all of the family. Although I have not posted much, I have read many of the messages and appreciate the information and support that both I and my son, chrisatlanta have received from all of you, especially SusanT and TxRhino. I know I will be relying on all of you even more during the long wait for them. Thanks.
