[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="4"]Hi Guys
I was wondering if someone could help me as I cannot find any information on the web.
I have been writing to my PP on DR San Quentin for 3 years now and I am finally able to make a visit to him next year (I live in the UK).
He has told me that I can visit Thursday, Saturday and Sunday for 5 hours each time but I cannot find that information on the web. I tried calling San Quentin but the department was shut.
Is it correct that I could have 5 hourly visits with him on the Thursday, Saturday and Sunday as I would have to book my flights to correspond with visiting.
I have sent my form for permission off and am awaiting reply.
Many thanks in advance.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Hi blondgal - does your husband phone you? If so, did you set up an account in order that he can phone you. I have written to my PP for just over 3 years and he says that other people can phone their friends, loved ones etcetera and that they have accounts set up but I cannot see anything in relation to this - once again thanx
Hi blondgal yet another question - thanks again for all your help - so I need to write 6 weeks prior to visiting yes? Is that over and above the approval form that I have sent off? Also, can I phone to make the visiting arrangements? It is kinda tight for me as I am using my BA Airmiles to fly over (much cheaper) and I really would need to book flights once approved/made visiting arrangements ie a couple of months ahead. Sorry if that sounds confusing.
thats ok anytime
thanx a million that is such great information and I am really grateful to you for it :)
IT LOOKS LIKE A COACH YOU PICK IT UP OUTSIDE WHEN U COLLECT YOUR BAGS YOU GO OUTSIDE AND YOU PICK IT UP THERE YOU PAY ON BOARD AND IT TAKES YOU TO SAN RAFAEL WHICH IS ABOUT A HOUR A WAY THEN ITS ABOUT A TEN MINUTE WALK TO MOTEL OR U CAN GET A TAXI
Is that the shuttle bus? Do I just get it when I get to San Fran airport or do I pay in advance? I am researching everything just now whilst I wait my approval coming through. Thanks for all your help :)
there are 2 motels there travel lodge and motel 6 you can get the marin airporter from the airport to san rafael cost 20 dollars
Oh thanks a million I will check out hotels there :)
MY HUSBAND IS ON DR SAN QUENTIN AND I GO OUT TWICE A YEAR YOU NEED TO WRITE IN FOR YOUR VISITS YOU WILL GET 2 1/2 HOURS THURSDAY 5 HOURS SATURDAY AND 5 HOURS SUNDAY YOU NEED TO WRITE IN 6 WEEKS BEFORE YOU GO THE BEST PLACE TO STAY IS SAN RAFAEL ITS 7 MINS TO THE PRISON BY TAXI SAN FRANCISCO IS TO FAR ESPECIALLY IF YOU GET EARLY VISITS
Can anyone recommend where in the San Francisco area I should look for a hotel when visiting San Quentin.
Thanks in advance
It is soooooooooooo confusing ! Thanks though :)
Here's the Visiting Guide for San Quentin
They make it kind of confusing to look at and read though...
[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"]Thanks for all that - I will take it all onboard and make sure it is done once I am approved :)[/SIZE][/FONT]
if its the same for us.. he will have to put in for extra hours by asking the warden or visitation.. then he should get a letter saying his visits have been approved..if he does get him to send that to you.. so you have proof when you go through, but you prb wont need it but i like it just in case.. plus you ca call visitation just to check once its approved.
[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"]Oh thanks for getting back to me so quickly. My PP did say I could visit the Thursday, Saturday and Sunday but whilst looking at the CCDR website it did not seem I could nor did it seem I would get 5 hours each visit which would obviously be the best considering I am travelling from UK and trying to fit flights/hotels in etc.
Who do I get confirmation from that I will indeed get the 3 visits at 5 hours per time?
Thanks again for your help x[/SIZE][/FONT]
Yep its possible as you can be approved for extra hours and days, when you come from so far away.. just make sure you get written proof about extra time from vistitation.. just in case.
