Transfer

My husband is in the Arkansas Prison system. He just got there not to long ago. I was wondering does anyone know how to start the process of a transfer? We live in Pa and if he can get trasfered at least I would be able to visit him. Now I would have to get a flight out and hotel. Even though it's worth it...it is pricey. I mean I have a toddler and a baby that's do any day now. Anywhy If you have been through this or know what to do please help.

If he's in state prison and that's the state the crime was commited in I don't think they can be transferred. James is in AZ and the only transfers they do is to OK cause the facility leases a prison out there. Other than that there are no transfers. You can always check with the prison your husband is in or contact a lawyer and see what's possible. Good luck and I hope he is eligilbe for transfer.

i'm pretty sure wherever the crime was commited is where they have to serve. it can't hurt at all to write the warden a letter. MILK IT!!ya' just never know when the right one will listen and understand...
