How Do I Check on an Inmate Transferred for Medical Care?

Call the camp counselor at the Jamestown facility directly and ask for a welfare or health update on your husband. That is the most direct path to getting information. You do not need a specific reason beyond being his family and wanting to confirm he is receiving care. Counselors deal with these calls and can at minimum confirm he is there and being attended to, even if they cannot share detailed medical information.

The lack of contact over two weeks is understandably alarming, but it is not necessarily a sign that something has gone wrong. Inmates receiving medical attention are sometimes in situations where phone access is limited, whether due to restricted movement, a medical unit environment, or simply not having had access to a phone during the window when calls are allowed. A medical transfer also involves adjustment time at a new facility before routines get established.

The best approach right now is the phone call to the counselor, followed by a letter to him so he has mail waiting when he does get access. If the counselor cannot give you any meaningful information, ask to be connected with the facility's health services department and explain the situation calmly.
