Gist State Jail in Beaumont, Texas

Posted by Elizabeth Brown on July 10, 2016 at 9:02am

I finally got a letter from my son at Gist State Jail.  He hates is there.  He says the food is terrible and they don't have many programs for them to get involved in.  The jail website does state a few things so I need to talk to them to find out what the truth is.  My son is 5 and 1/2 hours from our home. The visits will be few and far between because we will need to stay in a hotel.  Does anyone know if it is possible to request that your son be transferred to a closer jail?  He has a five year old son that wants to see his father but it is going to be very hard for him to take such a long drive.  I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.  Thanks,

    Everyone gets moved far away. They will also bounce them all over Texas. It keeps the people they used to associate with away from them.

    He should be able to talk to counselor, or write to judge, and explain this hardship on the family and the detriment it will be if his son cannot see him. And he should request a transfer. He should keep it positive and hopefully they will consider this. Good luck.
