We started this venture in county...like everyone else.. 10/23/2015. I felt prepared... strange AS THAT IS... I had gotten accustom to being ready for the bottom to drop out.
County lasted less then two weeks... shorter than he initially expected..I had done my reading and signed up for a notice when transferred with vinelink.
Then the text came and I was a little stunned.. OMG what now.. this was new.. IN THE DOC vs County.. sent in my visitation applications and phone bills.. two week orientation and we should be ahead of the game... I thought I am ready to move through this.. good and bad.
Ten days in.. a panic call being thrown in protective custody.. which is not much different than disciplinary custody.. also known as the SHU..ranting 6 or more months.
In summary he was threatened and duped that making a report was a quick solvency.. not so much.. it thru him and three others in the "box".... 24 hours a day in confinement; except twice a week to be shackled and walk to a cold shower closet.
So far nothing as expected but he is safe..
Holidays were starting to scare me.. depression and isolation were a threat. Got thru that.. of course after I hear he had a 72 hour sting of property confinement for "a hole" in his mat... 72 hours in his boxers in a metal room.. interesting... glad I got that AFTER the fact.
SO January.. should be out soon Mom.. investigation is over.. now face the music on the compound.. last night a text transferred... OMG AGAIN! More unknown.
90 days three locations no phone calls... BUT PHYSICALLY SAFE..
Having to lean on Faith that God has this.. I sure dont!

My son was bounced around from facility to facility for the first 3 months. Of course my husband and I tried locating him in the DOC website which took forever. Good luck
I happened to call the new location... I try not to call.. they said I can visit.. like NOW..even during orientation. I am shocked.. First visit..expecting all the worst of the things I have read... but so anxious to make sure I get this right, get in there and hug my child! That is all I want! I LOVE M.I.S.S.. Hoping all is finding at least a moments peace to emotionally rest .. weekends always seem hard for me so far.. but I think its when I have more time to think.. and I know thus far its two days of no mail when he had been in confinement. Wish me luck!
