hardship transfers

[Shella Early]

Hi everyone,

Does anybody know the latest rules and whom to contact on getting a "hardship transfer" for me to be able to have closer visits with my son (due to disability issues) ?

Thanks for your support.

To begin with you need a letter from the doctor confirming the disability. That letter is sent with a letter that you write explaining that the disability is what is keeping you from the visits. Both letters are sent in.  

I had to go through that very thing a few years ago.  And, I managed to get my son moved from Fort Stockton to Tennessee Colony. Thankfully it worked for me.

Hey Shella!

send the letters to this address:

HARDSHIP

Post Office Box 99

Huntsville, Tx.  77342

I talked with them the other day and they said to put "Hardship" in the address rather than any person. 

Good Luck!

For the Families ~

Susan

From the TDCJ website:

 

What is the process for requesting a hardship transfer?

A hardship transfer is usually considered when there is a medical condition which impacts an immediate family member’s ability to travel for offender visitation. Generally, transfer facility, state jail, intermediate sanction facility, substance abuse, pre-parole and pre-release offenders are not eligible for hardship transfer consideration. Requests for an inter-facility transfer from an offender’s family member shall be directed to the appropriate warden or to the assistant director for Classification and Records. Requests for a medical hardship transfer must pertain to an immediate family member of an offender and the family member must be on the offender’s Visitors List. These requests must contain documentation from the attending physician indicating the family member’s inability to travel long distances. Such documentation should be on the physician’s letterhead and signed by the attending physician. The assistant director for Classification and Records may grant an inter-facility transfer if the request meets the required criteria. Hardship transfer requests may be submitted to:

Assistant Director
Classification and Records
P.O. Box 99
Huntsville Texas
77342-0099

Attention: Hardship Transfer Any questions, please send to the address above or call (936) 437-6271.

Contact the Ombudsman's office and your State Representative. Make sure you are able to provide medical documentation to support your case.
