Andrew called today with great news! He was given a packet yesterday to fill out, concerning his goals during his incarceration and for success when he is released. Then he finally met with his intake counselor. She went over his packet with him. She gave him a new release day of 1/26/2021.
And she is recommending Columbia River Penitentiary as her #1 choice for the facility where he serves the remainder of his sentence. However, it is not yet set in stone. #2 choice would be Deer Ridge.
Columbia River is our first choice. It is here in Portland! We could visit often. He could see his baby boy and fiance!
Deer Ridge is in Madras. It is a bit of a drive - about 2 hours. But better than going to Eastern Oregon!
He also has heard that the penitentiaries have baskeball teams. He is sounding very positive.
I know God has His hand in all of this. I trust that Andrew will be safe and be housed in the best place for his growth.
But for now, I am happy to hear that the wheels of progress are moving! Andrew also told me he should be transferred in the next week!
More tomorrow...
