13 days a little over two weeks. good luck mine just got transfered to Vienna

[LaurieR]

Thank you.
Let me tell ya, it's been long but at the same time, it sort of flew by cause I just kept busy. 

Hope all goes well.  Aaron decribes it as a day camp for messed up adults!  LOL

Laurie

[shawnssweetcheeks]

hehehehe, Umm Laurie, Can you tell me what they can have and what they can't have my husband wants me to send him one of those guy mags even though I don't want to are they allowed to have those and on Visits what can we bring  I only have DL and I heard SS is not being used anymore is that true for vienna? I don't have any other form except my check book.

Lisa

sorry about all the questions

[LaurieR]

I'm not sure about "guy mags" but I'll ask Aaron when he calls next if he has seen them around and what Kinds he has seen in there already. 
As far as visits... You can take up to $20.00 per person in.  I would say to take quarters because the change machine has been out both times I went.  You can't take anything else into the visit with you.  They make you get a locker (.25) to even put your car keys in.  When I went to visit the first time, the lady at the door was EXTREAMLY easy going.  She didn't care about anything.  She only took my DL and didn't even ask for a 2nd ID.  The 2nd time I went down, a different lady was there and she picked at everything.  She even counted out the $20.00 that I had in dimes, nickles and quarters.  I was over by .30 and she made me lock up the extra money!  Haha!!!  Since it was not my 1st visit, I only had to show my ID.  I would call down there and see what you can use.  Also.... when you are visiting... the guards in the visiting room do things a little differently.  The first guard we had, let Aaron get up and look at the vending machines and tell me what to get.  He couldn't touch the money or put it in the machine but he could at least get up and see what there was.  After about 3 hours, there was a change of guards.  Aaron got up to go up to the machines with me and the guard ripped him a new one!  He was not allowed to get up at all unless he went to the restroom.  Since then, he didn't even try to get up on the 2nd visit cause we didn't want to get kicked out.

If you have any questions, let me know!
Laurie

[shawnssweetcheeks]

Laurie,
Thank you I will call tonight because my long distance start at 9pm and about the vending machines do they have Mountain do because Shawn will want a lot of it. That's the only thing he really askes for.

Lisa

[shawnssweetcheeks]

Also have you passed out any of the IPT Cards there because by the looks of it we are the only too that has someone in vienna.  Can we pass out IPT card I have some

[LaurieR]

Yes, they have Mt Dew.  As far as the IPT cards go... They were not out till after my last visit.  But honestly, I don't know who you would give them to.  Both times I went for a visit 9am -6pm (both times)... it was only me and one other person visiting.  That was it.  There really is no one around that place.
Laurie

[shawnssweetcheeks]

Oh thats good that they have the Dew hehehe how many times has Arron been in this is shawns third and I hope it's his last.....I sent Shawn some cards I hope I can be able to go visit him but there's no telling because of my van and I can't drive to chicago to get on the bus
Is there a way  your guy can get a message to my guy? if not that's cool


Lisa

[LaurieR]

I can try.  But just so you know, Aaron is planning his last phone call to me this Sat. (tomorrow) So I won't be able to confirm if he got it or not.  Aaron gets out in 13 days and we decided not to call again.  The bill gets so high and I need that money for gas! 6 hour drive each way with gas at $3.01/gal. is CRAZY!  I told him that he will have 6 hours to talk to me as we drive back.  And then I am going to bed.  Driving 12 hours/plus is going to wear me out.

Just let me know as much info as you can so he gets the right person!  You may want to PM me the info too!

Laurie

[shawnssweetcheeks]

I gave you karma for driving all that way I plan if my van can go down there a day before and then pick him up and drive back that day..... Good Luck Laurie

Lisa

[shawnssweetcheeks]

Laurie,
that's funny I told shawn about talking to you and that your b.f is in Vienna but I didn't tell him that you said that Aaron called it a day camp for messed up adults well I got a letter today and Shawn said it's like a Day Care the guys are like big kids hehehehehe

[shawnssweetcheeks]

Dancer what kind of house is that....and Welcome back.

[dancer]

I don't know specifics about it,  but it is one of about 4 low cost hospitality houses such as the one near Menard,  for families and friends visiting inmates.  I saw a list of them and wanted to add the information that wasn't already posted.  And Thanks.
