My son Phillip M.Askew,is an inmate at WRSP.I have not heard from him in a month.Because,he has some health issues,I am concerned that he may be ill. I also would like to know if I will be contacted if he were ill.M phone #’s are 7576377232(home)and 7575937901(cell).Would it be possible for his counselor to contact and inform me of his well-being? I appreciate any contact from your facility. Thanks Jennifer Askew
Hi,
You cannot rely on the facility contacting you regarding your son’s health.I would recommend contacting his case manager. If you do not receive any help, you should contact the prison chaplain for additional information.
if i am a felon & my daughters dad is at wrsp can i still visit him or do i have to have permission from my probation officer or what do i have to do to visit him?? let me know please!!!
Hi Mary,
I would recommend contacting an attorney since you do not want to take any action that can affect your probation. We do not provide legal advice.
I am trying to reach some one to find out why inmates are only allowed to call on week ends. I understood that when he was in seg. but he is in general population now. I am busy on week ends and can’t sit at home waiting off him to call. It would be nice if he could call in the evenigs when he knows I am most likely to be home.
Hi Sharon,
I recommend calling the prison directly for assistance.
my son is incarcerated there and i from Maryland and i didn’t know that you needed to fill out paper work to see him i don’t get to come this way often is there anyway i can see him i don’t have a felony or anything.
i was wanting to know what address and whom i send the visiting froms to. my inmate is at wallens ridge stste prison.
It says to see the forms page? Where is that located? I am trying to get a visitation form to be approved for visitation as i am a felon. He is located in Wallens Ridge SP and the counselor told him i could get the form on the website and this is what came up from the search..please let me know. Thank you soo much

Hi Johanna, since the prison administration is not helping you, we recommend that you contact the prison chaplain for
assistance. Often, the prison chaplkain can make the difference.
