clinton is in the Southampton CC in Capron Virginia. He used to be at Greensville CC, but he likes this one more because it is small. the visiting time is very bad there is one visiting room and you can stay one hour....even when you come from Belgium!!!! they do have a new warden now and he is making some good inprovements. he seems to be a cool guy...that is what they say....

My friend of nearly 25 years is in Deerfield, Capron, Va. Deerfield is right "next door' to Southamptom. There are many older inmates there, including my friend, for is 66.
Someone posted about Southamptom and that there was a new warden. Jim Beale was the warden at Deerfield and I know that he was soon to be going to Southampton, so I guess that is who the poster meant. If so, she is right: He is a cool guy and a good person. My friend was desvasted to see him leave.

yes HUGGYBEAR, I hear more and more good things from this new warden...but some stupid rules are made up by CO trying to impress the new warden. the prisoners must get up at 5.30h morning for count now...they never used to have to do that, but now they do...they all think this is such a stupid rule and they hate it. But as far as the new warden, he is still cool!

Joey is at Caroline Correctional Unit in Hanover County. The prison is physically located in Dawn, Virginia, but hardly anyone has ever heard of that!

I'm in Northern Virginia so it's an hour and 45 minute drive, which isn't bad at all!

My friend is in Pulaski Correctional Unit #1 in Pulaski, VA. He is only 10 minutes away so i go see him every Saturday. And with him being so close the calls from him cost less than $2 each time! He gets out in 6 months and he's soo excited!

Hi, Andy is in Halifax Correctional. He has been gone since December '97. He has been to 2 other prisons here in good old VA. I haven't seen him since he went to Halifax. It is a 4 hour ride one way from where I live. I just can't do it, and I feel guilty. I can't even remember how long it has been since I have seen him in person. To be honest, I think I have been shell shocked from the start and I am not too sure about anything. I am so happy to find this place. Finally, there are people who have a clue about this life. He has been blocked from calling home because I changed phone companies right before MCI pulled their stunt. We never talked much anyway. But now I feel very cut off knowing I can't talk to him even if I wanted to. His maximum release date is 9/04. He doesn't like talking about it at all. He says it just makes his time harder to do. I sit and try to figure out when he might be out considering good time. I just find it easier to ignore it too and just shoot for 9/04. I have a hard time dealing with this whole thing when I think about it too much. Because of this I think I have not been the best girlfriend/fiance'. I have been reading about all of you and now I feel this real need to find out all of the things I have been ducking. I really need to get my head together. I am glad to be here.
