UPDATE for Tucscon Catalina Unit Visitation

UPDATE as of 4/21/08

It was brought to my attention last night that this blog has gotten more than a few people at ADC pretty upset. Apparently at least one regular visitor received a phone call yesterday regarding the problems with visitation at the Tucson-Catalina Unit. According to my source, the deputy warden of that unit - Blanca Ochoa - insists that she wants to work with both the inmates and the visitors to improve upon the current conditions. She acknowledged that some of the problems should be fixed and asked for an opportunity to address the issues that have not been brought to her attention until now. DW Ochoa deems this blog as "unfair" since since she did not know about most of the issues and therefore could not fix them until now. We appreciate the fact the both the Warden and the Deputy Warden at the Tucson-Catalina Unit are holding the CO's there accountable for their actions and plan to act on any complaints that can be substantiated. It's refreshing to see a DW so willing to work with the general public and we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to her. This blog will continue to be updated with any changes that occur in visitation and we ask that our viewers continue to submit comments about their experiences, both positive and negative. Thank you!
