How can you found the visit schedule for chino state prison?
You must first obtain approval from the CDCR. You can apply for approval to visit by completing a visitor questionnaire. You can ask the inmate you wish to visit to send it to you. The prisoner must sign the questionnaire before sending it to you. After you fill it out, mail it to the visiting sergeant or lieutenant where the prisoner is housed. Send it to the attention of "Visiting" at the prison. If you are approved to visit, the prisoner is notified and then he or she must notify you.
Every CDCR prison has visiting on Saturdays, Sundays, and 4 holidays - New Year's Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

How much does it cost to transport a prisoner?
It varies, but the amount stated by the various organizations involved in prisoner transport is typically very inflated.
To figure costs consider:
- The number of prisoners being transported
- The number of supervising officers needed divided by the number of prisoners being transported.
- The cost of the vehicle(s) used divided by the years in use and the number of prisoners transported.
- Meals for prisoners and staff.
- Fuel, divided by the number of prisoners transported.
- Chains and custody devices, divided by the number of years in use and the number of prisoners transported.
To put this into perspective, try this:
Figure ten prisoners in a transport. That would mean two custody staff and a driver. The average pay for a corrections officer in a certain state is $19 per hour, times three that is $57, call it a five hour transport, so we have $285. divide this by the ten and you get $28.50.
Now, add into that the cost of the van with modifications made for inmate transport. Call it an even $100,000. Divide that by a reasonable five years of service, and you have $20,000 a year, or about $48 a day, divide that by ten and you have $4.80.
Combined with staff and you are at $33.30.
Meals, the cost to feed inmates in the state of Michigan is less that $5 a day, so we will take the high ground and round it to that $5. At five hours, call it two meals, we have $3.33.
Up to $36.63.
Fuel: At a national average of near $4 per gallon, we'll just call it that. Fuel economy for the various DOCs' favorite vans is the Chevy Express 1500; it's MPG rating is 14, at an average of 60 mph for 5 hours, you can travel 300 miles. That divided by mpg and you get 21 gallons and fractions. We'll round that up to 25 gallons for idling, etc. At $4 a gallon, you have $100.00. Divide that by the ten and you get $10 a head.
Add it to the total, and you are at $46.63.
Retention devices: The cost of a standard set of hinged cuffs is around $70. Chains could potentially bring that up to around $300. By ten, we're at $3,000; divide that by 10-20 years in service and you you're back down to $15 to $30. Go with the $30 and I won't even work out the per day expected cost.
We're at $76.63.
Now, it is common practice for prisoners of the MDOC to be moved back and forth "over the bridge." That means transport from prisons in the lower peninsula to those in the upper peninsula. The per inmate posted cost of these transports is $1700. These trips can take anywhere from 5 to 20 hours, and the "snowbird," the bus used to make the bridge runs holds at least 50 passengers. The fuel costs by comparison are about a wash, so no point considering that. Still, there is a lot of landscape between $76.63 and $1700.00.
Think about what the state does with the excess $1623.37. Now multiply that by 50, and consider this trip is made about 10 times a month. ($81,165.50 becomes $811,655.00 or $40,582,750.00 a year).

What were prison ships in the American Revolution?
These were old, half-rotten ships no longer fit for service at sea, usually called "hulks". The British had several anchored in the East River in New York City, between Long Island and Manhattan Island. This area was called Wallabout Bay in earlier and later times, and later became the location of the US Navy's Brooklyn Navy Yard. They were rat-infested, disease ridden hell holes, where the prisoners were starved if nothing else killed them first. Conditions and treatment were extremely harsh.
The most notorious was the HMS Jersey. Thousands were crammed into her below decks spaces where there was no sunlight or fresh air, no fresh water or bathroom facilities, and few provisions for the sick or hungry. Savage mistreatment by the guards was the rule. Another notorious prison hulk was the HMS Whitby. The entire operation was brutally commanded by the vicious Provost Marshal of the city, William Cunningham.
Every morning the dead bodies of as many as eight American who had died during the night were brought topside and thrown overboard, where prevailing currents generally took them to the Brooklyn shore. There they were left to rot. For many years after the war Wallabout Bay was more often called Bleachedbones Bay. Finally in 1808 civic shame caused the good people of New York City to at last gather and bury the patriots' bones in a common vault. This collapsed decades later, and in 1873 the bones were reinterred in Fort Green Park in Brooklyn (the site of Fort Putnam during the Revolution). In 1908 the Prison Ship Martyrs Memorial was erected over the crypt. There were other British prison ships in Savannah, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina in 1779 and 1780, after the British captured those cities. Conditions were about the same, but the number of men imprisoned was lower.
When the British evacuated New York City in 1783 the Jersey was abandoned in the East River, having been the prison for more than 8,000 patriots. Estimates of prisoner deaths from malnutrition, disease, flogging and other violence aboard the Jersey and the other prison hulks in the East River range from about 8,000 to 11,500. This was about three fourths of all the men imprisoned aboard them. Extermination of these men was the unofficial British policy.
The official US Department of Defense battle death toll of Americans is 4,435 (a vast undercounting) for the entire war, but the comparison gives some idea of the lethality of being confined on one of these floating nightmares.
