all texas prison units are like this, dont worry about calling a congressman they are the ones who have it like that, when you do call them they'll tell you shouldnt break the law,prison isnt supposed to be comfortable. i spent 5 yrs in a tx max securtiy unit. debratt you are wasting your time

plane state is bad and good. i was in psj for 7 months and 22 days i hated it more than words can express..the conditions ARE bad,..but..if you stay busy and involved with WHATEVER program they offer and HOPEFULLY get to go out to REC once a day..you'll make it through,, it's not the HILTON, that's for sure.. but the living conditions,specially in the summer can be very, very intense.ie;smell, sleeping, heat,food (uck) worst i have ever had..BUT,, they are cooking for MANY on a limited budget (write your congressman!!!).. i experienced this first hand. and of course, depending on your job, very laborous.. especially "cleaning" razor wire .. iv'e seen lots of injuries there.. remember some of these women have never WORKED and then to be thrown into this is definitley a culture and life shock.. the guards are not the best.. but, in there defense they are dealing with SOOOO many people... it's hard to make a human connection and actually be treated as such due to, of course the nature of it and so many people being there. they are TRANSFER unit.. that means, pretty much. if have a 3 yr or more sentence, you WILL be moving to a "home unit" so..this is only temporary..be patient..unless your on a big #.. it will be over soon. GO TO THE CHAPEL AND GET INVOLVED..ESPECIALLY PASTOR BOYDS 12 STEP.. it CAN change your life..for the better. it DID me..and just try to take this time to get it together and NEVER forget it.. so you Never go back..PRISON SUCKS..

Plane State Jail. Our ex-office manager is currently serving time in this facitily. She embezzled half a million dollars from her employer, a physician. I think the conditions there sound dismal....as was my life while I had to work with her. Still my heart goes out to her...I hope she finds God there....Teresa Walker's comment gives me hope for her. Through God I am trying hard to forgive her, and knowing the money that should have been mine through my own hard work, that she took, must be in Gods bigger plan...I shall quit being spiteful.

I cant help but comment though...all the people who comment about how bad it is there....Shouldn't it be????If you break the law, you should be punished........Either way, God will reward or punish you for your actions....I will pray that all prisoners there find their way to God.

Sincerely,

Keli Lanclos

Saved my life. I was at Plane State in 2008. I agree the conditions and inmates were horrible. I must say that Harris County was alot worse. I took advantage of the Turning Point rehab program, that Plane State offered. Then counselors were very helpful to the inmates who wanted the help. The program also helped women get into transitional housing, for women who had nowhere to go upon release. I am thanful for the horrible conditions. If you don't like them, then don't break the law. Today I can say , that in August I will be 3 yrs clean. I just graduated college with a degree in engineering. I pray, that the uncomfortable conditions , will change the life for many other women as well. Take care and God Bless

felon. I was unlucky enough to be there for two years because of my own stupidity.I was lucky I worked at the chapel the entire time and took advantage of all that was offered to me. I have been out 2 years and will never go back. To anyone out there with family there say a prayer they do not care it is not a resort.Some learn and some go back.. Tell those you love learn and go to chapel. The chaplain will make it better.The program will make those that want help find it, If you ask they are there,Conditions are bad i will not get started but it is up to the person..

pros and cons of plane state jail. I was incarcerated at Plane State Jail. It is just that "Jail". It's not meant to be a resort. It is to teach the criminal a lesson and it does just that. Now, there are bad points such as not enough food, medical takes forever , and in the summer its a 110 degrees inside the buildings. It is hell. That is a nice word but the pro to this is that you won't want to repeat the crime end up in here again. The chapel was my safe haven. I didn't sign up for the christian dorm because of the lesbian activity..and because if you were in that dorm you could not go to any other christian classes. I explore with my faith..and alotted time to different religion and found my home in the catholic realm. That class inspired by God changed me forever and that stint in jail saved my life. Sure it was horrible...But jail isnt suppose to be a picnic. If your smart you will never go back. My problem is with society not giving you a second chance once your released...They could give you more food. They could treat you with respect...more kotex upon needing...toilet paper. If you don't have help you won't make it...At the end when I got commissary it was tolerable. You don't get to see outside enough . You learn to appreciate the sky and the grass and birds God created...I feel for any one in that place. May God be with them. God saved me and I pray for each and every inmate in there.

not a place for animals. The only thing that saved me in my two years was the chapel. The warden, the guards, and most all are there to judge you and give you a hard time. I saw male guards with inmates, the inmates got the hard time and the guards git a promotion, If you have a family member there write them,pray for them because they need all the help they can get.

doin hard time. My daughter is in plane state jail Dayton Tx and she's pregnant and she says it is horrible there. The medical is totally wrong the way they ignore these women and she says she's having pains and the doctor thinks she just wants pain medicine that messes you up.She's 22 and already had one misscarage and she says the milk is not even real. I went on a sight and got the Senior Warden's name and the number there and Im gonna try like h*ll to get her out of that nasty place.Be persistant with them if you want to try and get some where cause I'm NOT gonna leave these people alone untill she's in another facility for pregnant women.That facility has over 2,000 women there and 38 doctors.Now thats is scary.
