Hello - in response to information about bayside -

1) The token machine is ALWAYS out of tokens, your best bet and I've seen people do it is to go over to the other prison across the way - or one day that it is working - grab extra tokens.

2) If you are trying to get your loved one transferred to Bayside because of the farm, dont. They have seriously changed their criteria for that. It used to be that once you are there for a year you can go, but they dont tell you that it depends on how much time you have left and what your crime is. The visiting area is cramped, you have stand in line to visit and its first come first visit and if you get out of line - you lose your spot. Also as I know that most prisons arent known for how they treat inmates, but this one is really bad. I think with the whole guard being killed that all the employees there treat the inmates and their family worse than dogs. Its really disgusting and very depressing.

If you need anymore information, I will be glad to answer -
Hope this helps you.
