I started laughing and told the officer what is the problem there?? never have I heard of this kind of issues?? all she said was well once visiting slows down will be okay?? hahaha wth?? really?? man this is too damn much my babe already talking about req a transfer asap.. he's not feeling this place and his been down 12 yrs now and has never experienced anything like this he just transfered from main line to SNY Nov is this what were going to deal with from now on??

tigger925 · #**156** 05-29-2012, 10:38 PM

Not all Sny are like this, believe me. We have been to 4 other places since going Sny and this is the only one like this. It is the worst so far. My husband has already requested a transfer and was told to wait til his annual. it is a nightmare for family and way worse for these guys. I have already heard some really bad stories about stuff that goes on there.

n2luvnjer · #**157** 05-29-2012, 10:49 PM

Tyvm for info this will be r 5th sny prison and r 10th prison. We r still in the hole at LAC which is the worst so far. They say we will be moved soon not sure hubby can go there he may have an enemy there and by the sounds of it I kind of hope he does. At LAC I have gotten a 45 min visit and KVSP an hr. SNY yards r getting too crowded. They need to give us back r 4 days a week visits those were the days. Well again tyvm ladies

Beebeek1 · #**158** 05-29-2012, 11:35 PM

Thanks for that info reg SNY tigger925 my babe has his annual in Dec so God willing will be out of there soon..!! I want him here at chino...
And n2luvnjer your at least able to see your man its already been over 2 mo for me

but yea I would not recommend to nobody to be transfered here and to be quite honest I doubt there changing anything...oh also my lil Bro in main line @ a different prison and they also now have to do that ph list crap for calls!? so I guess along with the new system they're more changes to come to CDCR

He has a annual in December I hope the do it in December. They usually run way behind on those...How do you just transfer? You have to have a hardship to move and that is usually iffy. Good luck

I will tell you the food is ok. Or it WAS.
They are pretty strict on contact.
I think he's got to get thru orientation before visits but not for sure on that. You dont need to call, just get there in the am, park the car and go into the visit processing area, fill out the visit form, and wait.
Metal detector is super sensitive. CO's are strict on clothing.
They tell you what table to sit at. Short little chairs and tables.
They do take pics, but buy the ticket before you go in. (2 dollars?)
Hub tells me that at CCI lv2 there are different *levels* of normal.
lol.(regarding programing)
Unless they are on modified for some reason, its as normal as it gets.

There is a chance my son may get transferred to Tehachapi - although I know it is a crap shoot. He is in Donovan now and his counselor said he was looking at either Tehachapi or Norco. I will be coming from east coast. Are vistitation rules any different for me? What about family visits? How do they work? Thanks

Beachhouse · #**161** 06-13-2012, 11:45 PM

I just got my friends address there and am going to write but I am wondering if anyone can tell me about E yard? what level is it, anything would be helpful. Thanks.

Xiu Xiu · #**162** 06-13-2012, 11:55 PM

My husband is in E yard. It's a level 1.

You would need to request a family visit. And truth be told Im not sure how to do that. You may get better info from reading this thread:

The only problem I can see if your son is mainlined is if they go on lockdown and dont have visits. That would really stink to come so far and not be able to visit.
If he is still in reception you would need an appt.

Yes that would majorly suck if the facility was on lockdown and I spent 400 bucks to get out there and another couple hundred for lodging.

OMG I don't want to even think about that - I know it is like gambling - hope the odds are with me.

Xiu Xiu · #**165** 06-14-2012, 04:58 PM

I think, but I can be wrong, that if a Family Visit is planned and a lockdown is in place those visits are not affected. Unless he is directly responsible or involved for the reason of the lockdown.

**sidewalker** · #**166** 06-15-2012, 07:14 AM

that sounds right xiu xiu........I seem to remember reading that too someplace. (lol, maybe that thread I linked)

TaraIsabelle457 · #**167** 07-16-2012, 10:58 AM

how long is orientation?

Fox_Rider · #**168** 07-17-2012, 10:13 AM

You mean reception? Orientation is maybe a half hour they go over the do's n don't's ... Reception can be months but there is no more reception at Tehachapi ...

TWIST76 · #**169** 10-17-2012, 10:00 PM

Does anyone have a son, brother, boyfriend, or husband in facility-d dorm 3? I want to check on my friend. He tried to send home a ring for my son and got caught. I want to make sure he's okay?

MrsRG · #**170** 10-18-2012, 08:31 PM

Sorry my guy is in the SHU 4B... Hope you hear something soon

Roxy0720 · #**171** 10-30-2012, 01:29 PM

Hi is ur hubby going to mainline or sny??

Beebeek1 · #**174** 10-30-2012, 02:34 PM

There's a lot of useful info on here just scroll through them

Xiu Xiu · #**175** 10-30-2012, 02:55 PM

From my understanding all of CCI is SNY. Orientation for most yards are 3-5 days. You can have contact visits right away as long as you are approved visitor.

Here is some basic info on the facility as far as what yard have what levels and classes that they offer.
