Today was the first time I had ever set foot in any sort of prison. Not going to lie, it was intimidating at times. There are many hoops you have to jump thru during the process but they all seemed reasonable and for good safety reasons. For my safety, for the staff and for the inmates. When i pulled into the facility off the main road there was a checkpoint almost immediately. Every car stops and you have to get out and open the hood and trunk. While I was opening the hood other guards are opening the doors and checking the inside of the car. When my car was cleared I pulled forward a bit and gave my drivers license to another guard where he wrote down my info and license plate number, he also gave me a two digit number to remember and said I would need it when I was leaving, then I was cleared to head to the parking lot. Found a spot and parked, proceeded to the next check in, it was a small booth where I let them know which inmate I was there to see and gave them my drivers license. They checked the computer to confirm I was eligible to visit him and I was on to the next step. At this point, I came to a gate. There was a video camera and a sign under it that read Show ID To Camera. I did, and I heard the gate click and I opened it and proceeded. I was in what's known as a mantrap gate. As I approached the other end of the trap, the gate clicked open. It was at this point the gravity of where I was really set in. It was high fences and razor wire from here on out. I entered a building and got in line. Signed in and gave my ID, which they kept and gave me a numbered metal chip. Then it was off to the metal detector. Similar to an airport, shoes off and empty pockets. Then there was a pat down search and then I was cleared to go start my visit. After the two hour visit it was the exact reverse process leaving. It was a good experience and I was happy to see my friend again. While it was intimidating at times, at no point did I not feel completely safe. All of the staff and guards I spoke to throughout the process were understanding and polite.

There's not much going on here but it has a nice small town feel and it's a good rest stop if you're nearly in Dallas or if you still have a long way to go to Houston. The town is mostly West of the hwy. Traffic can be a pain getting in and out (like your ma on a Saturday night) but there are several gas stations here so that helps.

Unless you're a retiree looking for cheaper housing or a fully remote worker who doesn't like to do anything but stare at the TV on their days off (that is when the electricity isn't cutting out in every little storm). No good food or shopping. Ordering things online is made more complicated in this town than others despite the increased need, because there's no way to easily initiate returns with Amazon or other services, as there's no no-box UPS drop offs here. You have to pay for boxes and label printing services and it ends up costing a lot of energy to return online items. The restaurants have really bad food like worse than you're probably imagining, besides the Indian place. Everywhere else is canned, frozen, microwaved, plastic packaging still in the food, dirty dining areas. There's only 1 Starbucks and it's far from residential area, out on the skirts of town where nobody even lives. No nature parks or hiking trails which even poorer rural towns have. It's also a good ole boy town, so between the official crime and the police you don't really feel safe going anywhere, especially as a pedestrian or alone. I think they just target poor people since they can't fight back in court and there's extreme poverty here. They just seem to go after anyone they can for quotas who they don't know from church or who's name isn't on a big building. It's how the city makes its revenue, so don't go there without a front, back, and driver window facing dashcam, or you could really get railroaded by the cops or worse, especially if you're poor (they probably get subsidies for jailing people yikes). One of the few worthwhile stores is does have is a home depot, which is really shocking to find out when you drive around and see the state of 90% of the houses. But you can't blame them since there aren't any jobs, and $15 an hour is considered good there, while their taxes are are swindled into things that will never benefit them like paving the pothole infested roads. Those roads will tear up your car if you just have a sedan or tacoma or something so drive slow.

The only downside was the bathroom. They do have a bathroom, but it's more like a big outhouse and the toilet wasn't very clean, so my 3yr old had to just hold it which was hard. Otherwise, this place was great! I'd just recommend using the bathroom before arriving.

The marker reads, "New York native Charles Henry Allyn (1842-1918) came to Texas in 1868, after having served as a captain in the Union army during the Civil War. Capt. Allyn arrived in Corsicana with his wife, Angela (Aldrich), in 1871. As a Corsicana businessman, he assisted in the organization of the First National Bank, local savings and loan companies, and the cotton mill. Allyn served as a member of the city council before holding a two-year term as Corsicana's mayor from 1888 to 1890. Capt. Allyn was also active in civic, educational, and church activities." There is parking at the visitors center (which was closed when I was here at 8pm). It is marker number 6226 and it was erected in 1985 by the Texas Historical Commission.

I later woke to find that I would be sharing my room with several other guests which was fine with me because they were all well behaved. Two suites down the hall I could hear someone complaining about their experience to either a host or another person staying rather loudly, but I must have wonderful hearing because I seemed to be the only person to notice it? Oddest thing about my stay, by far. Anywho, the total bill for my stay came up to around $3000 which is reasonable considering how most things cost an arm and a leg these days. I would recommend this if you missed out on your hotel reservation for a convention or something similar, otherwise not the best experience. I would have rated it higher but they made me give back the cool orange sweater they gave me that I thought was a souvenir.
