Learning my way around here.

Hello everyone,

I had been trying to use this website on my phone and it is really limited in what I can do so I decided to come on the laptop and AHHH MUCH BETTER! :)

My husband and I just arrived home last night from our visit with our son Justin in Tabor City NC. We left Oak Ridge TN on Wednesday and stayed at a wonderful center called Matthew 25 Center in Tabor City. Wonderful ministry providing a free place for loved ones who lives more than 50 miles I believe or 100 miles a place to stay so we can visit our loved ones. Wonder if anyone has this ministry in your area? This is truly wonderful ministry and sparked a fire in me to be involved with this.

Before we visited our son, we were very anxious and nervous as we were told they were very strict and we may not be able to see our son if we failed something. but to our relief, it was smooth sailing. We got to visit our son 3 hours split into two 1.5 hour visits. Our visit was very light and we were able to talk and laugh just catching up with him. He got to tell us some stuff about what he see in the prison. He said there are many good people in prison. He has met many people he wants to continue friendship with once he gets out. He said he can't wait to go home but he is thankful for the journey he has in there. When we got back to the center to sleep, we actually crashed and slept from 8:15 pm till 6 am.

Thank you all for your stories as I have been trying to keep up with you folks. From one Mom to another. HUGS!

Hi, I'm Christine and like you, I'm new to this site so I have been looking around and taking it all in before I post. I hope you this is the right place, if not, I'm sure I'll figure it all out in time. I haven't seen my son Bear yet. I'm really kinda freaking out because he has been at South Woods state prison in Jersey since Jan. 10, I emailed him on the 12, 13,14,15, and 16th. I have sent him money, I have sent him pictures and still have heard nothing. His max date is Oct 2021. Just really wish he would connect with me , it would be so much easier to deal with this. He's been locked up before but the last time was a youth corrections facility, where they go between 18 and 30 years old so I guess forms of just seemed easier to take. Anyway, I thank God I found this site, it's everything I have been looking for and needed. Thanks for listenin
