It is now called the Hotel 7 Inn and it's right across the street from Dairy Queen.

                                                         

Hi Sizz,
         Thank u so much for the info. Do u remember the name of the motel? Would like to check it out. Thanks once again. This was very helpful.

My l/o is in IL River. I agree though, make sure you call first! I've brought little slow cooker cookbooks. I removed the plastic covered twisted metal "binding" piece & tied a small string through the top & bottom holes so it would stay together. He loved it! Gives them ideas for commissary items to buy to prepare a "feast" in their hot pot. My son has become quite the "chef" in there. I put his number on everything!!!

Hi i wondering how long it took you guys to wait for a phone call when he arrived at emcc and visitation? and are phone services through secrus and jpay for money in their books? is dress code strict?

Hello my boyfriend just trasnferd there today at east Moline how long would it take for me to hear from him and see him? are the phone services securus and Jpay for money in their books??

Hi 4ever,
                It's been a long time since I visited Shawnee, my fiance is now in Graham and has been for over 5 years but I will try and help as much as I can. We actually lived 6 hours away from Shawnee so I would get a drive down from a family member and stay in the Motel right across from the Dairy Queen. It was clean and reasonably priced and just down the street from the prison.
                 I would stay the weekend and visit every day. The visits were 4 hours long. The c/o's were very friendly and helpful. Sometimes if the room was empty they'd let you have a little bit more time.
                                      Anyway, I hope this helps a little bit. I hope you get to see your l/o soon !

                                                                            Sizz

Definitely check with your facility. Some of them allow hardcover books while others do not.

Dixon is ON FULL LOCKDOWN - NO VISITS ALLOWED.
