An inmate was transferred from JBCC to your facility recently. He did not receive his TV or his boots upon arriving. He is at this time without shoes to wear.

I haven't heard from My Son since November 12,2021. I called and was told he isn't in trouble but isn't allowed phone use. I live in another state and I try keeping a little $ in commissary and this it being December 20,2021 I'm getting very anxious to know the reason behind this from My Son's mouth. This makes absolutely no sense and it needs to be resolved. He was at JBCC and jumped by several inmates and staff said he would only be moved yards though he ends up returning to Lawton. As A Mother My Son does not deserve the sentence he got. He needed drug and mental health when he was incarcerated. I know Commit the Crime... Do the Time and I'm all for punishment but so much more can be done and it should be Mandatory Dependency Treatment combined with Mental Health to Prevent Outrageous Sentencing and Overcrowded Facilities then with that being Mandatory if a Person fails after, then maybe(WE) gave that Chance First. Thank You ✌️❤️ M. D. P
