• Although the majority of prisoners are here for either violent acts inside prison or for gang membership, gang association or both, there are many prisoners who are not here for these reasons. Some are drug users/dealers inside the prison, some are merely the unfortunate ones who have run afoul of some officer or staff member and were shipped up here.
• It is to keep anyone named `indeterminate' from ever going to a mainline prison until he breaks and `debriefs. ...
• First off, the prison is located in a remote corner of the state near the Oregon border. ... This means that visitors must travel more than a thousand miles to get to the prison. ...
• The isolation goes on even inside the prison. ...
• Even though the region surrounding the prison uses local cable television or satellite broadcast, this prison points its dish at (of all places) Denver, Colorado.

• Punishment for the whole family California prison officials want to prohibit parents convicted of drug offenses from touching their children -- even infants and toddlers -- for one year.
• If sweeping changes in prison visitation rules proposed by the California Department of Corrections (CDC) become law, Marie's experience is likely to be repeated in state prisons across the state, where prisoners with drug-related convictions will be barred for the first year of their terms from contact visits with anyone, including their children. Often a rule of incarceration in county jails, a ban on contact visits in state prisons, where inmates serve much longer sentences, is rare. ...
• Decades of research, including at least one study commissioned by the CDC, have concluded that prison inmates do better when they get visits with the ones they love. In terms of both rehabilitation and development, incarcerated parents and their children benefit from time together: The adults are less likely to return to prison; the children do better with emotional adjustment, behavior, even with I. ...
• But a baby looking at himself in a glass partition cannot smuggle drugs to his parents, say California prison officials, who maintain that visitation is a point of transfer for drugs from outside. ...

• The California crackdown on contact visits comes at a time when state prisoners are being held mainly in remote rural areas, and visitation already has dropped off dramatically nationwide due to the inability of inmate relatives to get to their loved ones behind bars. According to the federal Bureau of Justice Statistics, 60 percent of parents in state prison nationwide report being held over 100 miles from home. ...
• By 1999, when the Bureau of Justice Statistics conducted its own major survey, 54 percent of mothers in state prisons -- nearly all of which allow contact visits, reported never having had a visit from their children. ...
• About 200,000 children currently have a parent in a California state prison. ... A survey of visitors to three California state facilities found that 55 percent of visiting children were 6 or younger, and 34 percent were 3 or younger. ...

• Folsom Prison Pays No Sewer Fees.
• I just heard that the Prison (meaning both the old Folsom Prison and the new California State Prison at Folsom) sends 27 million gallons of sewage per month through our sewer system but pays nothing. ...
• If the Prison were to pay what other large users do (commercial rates), they would have been paying $10,000 per month, and after this April's rate increase, would be required to pay $21,000 per month.
• Apparently, the city struck some sweetheart deal with the Prison over 20 years ago whereby the prison only paid $200 per month. ...
• It seems to me that when ever our city deals with the state, we get the short end of the stick. We 're losing $500,000 per year using prison labor to recylce our trash, we can't operate the jail profitably and got into a lawsuit with the state when they wanted to audit that operation. If we're going to sue the state, why not sue them for failure to pay their sewer bill???.
