Welcome, be sure to check the federal forum's visitation and "other federal prisons" for threads about bennettsville. Here is the link to their visitor's handbook.

Im waiting for the visiting form he just got there 2 days ago, and is serving 3 years just hope the time flies by quick. Ive been so depress because Im use to seeing him twice a week, so its been really hard, what I didnt know that it would be this hard. Can you give me some insight on what to expect, because at the DC jail its a glass.

I have been visiting my husband , looking at him thru a glass and talking over a phone to him, for 8 months. The first time that I had to do that was tough! But I had no choice! It's easier now. You will find the strength to do what you have to do to get thru this. Finding PTO and asking questions and supporting other's is a great first step! Welcome!

Well let me know how things are, and enjoy. I will and thx for your support, so maybe when all the paper work is finished we can go together sometimes.
