Change Policy of S.C. Department of Corrections from taking visits and Phone calls from families of inmates

Hello my name is Kimberly McBee and my husband (Leonard McBee #96009) has been incarcerated in the South Carolina Department of Corrections for the past 23-years for Arm Robbery. In his time of incarceration he has had a very bad habit of smoking Marijuana, in the past five years he has made numerous changes and has excepted that he has a problem with this. His family and his self has made every effort to get him into a program in the system, by contacting the SCDC and the Governor's Office with nothing but results from them saying it will be checked into or that he does not meet criteria. His punishment for failing a drug test or having marijuana in his possession is his visits, phone calls, canteen, and good time are taken away from him for so many days according to the number of offense it is. As of this date March 2003 it will be another 10 months before I can see my husband and 3 or 4 months before he can call any of his family. I feel that this is unfair to the families when the system is making no effort to help him with his addiction problem. I feel the policy in the SCDC should be changed, taking the visits and phone calls will not change his addiction.
