It breaks my heart for him to be in seg facing this all alone; but I check every day to see when visits can start!  THANK YOU for the help!

Hello.
It depends on the intake process for visitation to begin.  It it typically 30 days, but I do know it can take longer.  My son took 90 days, as did several others.  Know of others that took 45-60.  Count on 90 and anything you get better, it is a blessing!

You can put money on his books or send him commissary by using the ecomm system.  It costs $3.75; cheaper than most other services.  Sending a care package is always a nice surprise, too.

They do close at 8:30pm-4am.

Hope that helps!
