 Just want to say  "Thank You" to the Correctional Officer that allowed  our Son to call his Father today.
His Father has cancer and is going in for surgery next week.  Many Correctional Officers are compassionate  people.  Also many Mothers and Fathers really do want to help the system rehabilitate our loved ones and get All of Us back to normal again....Thank You!! NEOS

I agree not all COs are bad.........hope your husband recovers quickly from surgery. My husband also is going in for surgery(cancer) but we were able to make arrangements to go see my son the day before his surgery. It helps our LOs as much as us to be able to talk by phone or visit.

Best wishes to both families!  My husband has battled cancer, had surgery and treatments and won!  So, I pray the same for your families!  I also have to say there are many nice officers and workers in general where my son is and the counselor is very nice too!  I appreciate all of them, and how they are to me as I have to work with them, to see my son.  Best wishes to you both & my prayers are with you!
