    Trying to schedule a visit here is a nightmare. There have been days i have called over 50 times…read morewithout anyone picking up. (had the same experience at Bayside) You are told that you can have a visit, then you call the day of to confirm for them to tell you that you cannot. I understand that the people in there are not their family members, but to tell your child they can go and see their father, then to be told the day of they can not because they made a mistake is a horrible way to treat anyone. I would of drove over an hour away with two 11 year olds to be turned away. Good thing i happened to call and follow-up that day. Instead of apologizing they are rude and talk over you. They transfer you to their supervisor who just again says i don't know who gave you that information and ends up hanging up. Tried to schedule another visit for the following week, told by 3 different employees the visit is approved, called today to confirm, and that employee was wrong as well. Why don't you train your employees to know their job and the rules so they don't have to do this to families? This is my first time having to deal with the NJDOC and honestly it is the worst experience that I have had. They need to really work on this for the family members, but in all reality, they don't care and it has been very clear in every facility and staff member that I have spoken to. I truly hope that if they ever find themselves in this situation that they are treated with more kindness and at the very least the correct information. The family members who are already dealing with so much deserve better.

    I would like to say, my stay at Northern State was way better than Bayside. I had like 80 channels…read moreon my t.v. I also ate a lot better, but that's also because the homies look out for each other. Shout out Northern!!! Lol Clifford Bozzelli, 779371D aka Reddy Rollack

    I was evicted do to my landlord was caught defrauding a life insurance company so he wanted Us out…read moreso he can sell the house to cover some of the money he stole. I tried to find a new place but houses to rent in Nassau county are hard to come by in my kids school district. So I fought being thrown onto the streets by this felon but finally we were evicted ome week before a house we had found was available. The sheriffs department officer was fine but they hire moving companies to do the moving. The company who moved Us stole everything of value. My mikita drill set $389, my sons m4 air rifle $178, an xbox one gears edition $349, My wife's fur coat she gpt from a friend $1800. A mechanics set of tools 480 pieces $900+. I didn't notice till about 2 month later when we got to unpacking. The Sherriff's department said they don't cover stolen property, their not police. Nice job passimg the buck. Leads me to wonder. They wouldn't even give me the name of the compa y they Used. We I'm left to replace everything stolen on top of the court siding with a felon landlord. Nice cou nty, state, country we live in. Also lost our $7600 security. I guess I can sue my ex landlord when he gets out of jail.

    I can actually review this place as my boyfriend was sitting there for 3 years for drug trafficking…read more(that happened many years ago). He lost a lot of weight and become almost autistic. He lost a job, his business, almost all friends (that's maybe a good thing after all) and almost lost me. The "clientelle" is rather friendly. The guards do not push above the roof. The food is bad, but there's commissary for a hundred bucks a week. Then you can "pay" the locals to cook something for you. He fought his case and won a time served. What an experience.

    I came to MDC to visit a relative whom is a federal inmate. The whole process here wasn't as bad as…read moreI thought. I'm comparing the visiting process to 1 Police Plaza near City Hall and to Allenwood penitentiary in PA. The Friday visiting hours are from 5pm-7pm. If you get there on time, fill out the application, put your personal effects in locker that is provided, you'll be in the visiting room in no time. The security guards weren't as mean as I expected. In Allenwood, those guards were dicks! They didn't even allow you to use the lockers even though they had them. 1 Police Plaza isn't too bad but the visiting room is small and stinky. Here at MDC, it was fairly spacious. In the visiting room, there were private rooms for attorneys and inmates. There's 1 food vending machine, most items were $4-5. Two soda machines, all beverages were $2.75 and only 1 microwave to heat up your food. No utensils, just napkins. Sounds awful but still 10 times better than 1 Police Plaza. During visitation, the guard tells you where to be seated. In Allenwood, you choose wherever you like just as long as an inmate does not sit next to another inmate. The only thing that you're allowed to bring inside is cash money, only singles or five dollar bills. No 10's, 20's, 50's, 100's and you must keep the money in a zip lock bag. They aren't too hard on you if you don't have a bag. In Allenwood, they break your balls over everything and treat the visitor as if they're the inmate. Verdict - From just a visitor's point of view, it's not too shabby. Getting here by train was the worse part. Taking the R to 25th street station took forever. It's about a 7-8 block walk from the station. There's also a waiting room outside of MDC. There's air conditioning but it is still relatively hot because of the non tinted glass windows. I considered driving here but I'm not familiar with the parking situation and whether you're allowed to park under the BQE without a permit. I didn't want to risk it so I wound up taking a near 2 hour train ride to get to this darn place. All in all, knowing that a relative is now closer to home, it's a good sign. Just make sure you don't wear tan or brown colored shirt or pants and just follow their guideline policy before visiting an inmate. The process will be quicker than you think if you come correct.
