Difficulties You May Have Contacting Loved One in Lakeview Shock Incarceration Correctional Facility

This facility is minimum security, but it's no joke. The people incarcerated here go through a lot to earn an early release, and sometimes they seem to disappear without contact. Phone privileges are scarce, and there are often situations when the telephone or the service isn't working.

Writing letters home takes second fiddle to sleep and rest when you're working as hard as the inhabitants of this facility. Your best bet might be a visit, but this isn't an easy correctional facility to visit. It's a hefty distance from New York City, and there aren't a lot of choices for overnight in the area.
