They pointed me to the Clerk-Recorder's office and those poor people were as confused as I was when I asked for my divorce decree.

Without it, I'm very emotionally impulsive, struggle to care for my hygiene, I can get myself in dangerous situations, and I can't sleep for more than a few hours. I didn't receive ANY medication for this nor any alternative medication for my entire stay there and it was absolutely awful. I verbally requested mental health multiple times, I formally requested sick day twice, and I told multiple deputies about this many times over the span of the 4 days I was there - but NOTHING was done until just hours before my release, where they let me talk to a psychiatrist. To me this is an absolutely unacceptable and disgusting way to treat a human being. Adding to that, the food is never enough and the schedule is so insane (6am, breakfast, 11am lunch, and 4pm dinner) I went to bed every night extremely hungry. When you do get to eat, they don't give you enough time whatsoever to eat - you get 10 minutes tops to get your food, sit down, and eat as fast as you can before they start flashing the lights. It's not healthy for a human being. I felt like a starved dog. I had to save my unfinished food and hide it in my room so I wouldn't have to go hungry. The quality of the food is horrible too - they gave us "gravy" which is like a slightly liquidy clear jello with pieces of ground beef in it. The potatoes are clearly old - they had black spots all over them. And not to mention literally almost everything else is full of fillers and preservatives. The deputies attitudes add to the total inhumane conditions of the place, they treat you like a nuisance for anything - I was yelled at for simply asking 2 questions about how the cell door worked because it was my first time there. "DONT ASK QUESTIONS!". I never gave the deputies a lick of attitude but was still treated like a piece of garbage. I would ask them any question and instead of answering simply and directly they would give me an ugly look and say something really sarcastic or rude. No matter how you phrase anything or how nice you are, they treat you like a worthless piece of shit. They're also incredibly lazy - i called for a deputy a few different times and they would make hand signals at me from their office that made no sense and then get up begrudgingly and snap at me because they didn't want to get up to talk to me. And, the holding cell I was in for 5 hours was FREEZING cold, and the most they would give me was 2 t shirts, denied me a sweater. I had to bundle up in a fetal position on the disgusting bench, my arms tucked into my shirt and my nails & feet turned grey/blue. I hope this place either gets shut down or has a major reform. These conditions are extremely inhumane and something needs to happen immediately. I feel sorry for the people who have to endure this long term.

A women's prison, mens prison, and a minimal security women's camp. To see the women's prison, visitors enter through the front door, check in, and go through the metal detector. A visitation room is just on the right and you can visit a good part of the day. For the visitors though, this is as far as you go. For the prisoners, they pass the control room and enter what looks like a junior college campus. Many buildings spread out with open space. Just to the right is the chapel that serves all denominations. Just beyond that is a gym where the women take a variety of classes such as spinning or Zumba. It also has pottery workshop, a library, and a knitting/sewing room. There is also weight lifting available. An outdoor rec area includes tennis courts and a track. Beyond that are the main dorms. These are small rooms with 3 bunks. No bars on these rooms just a solid wooden door. No doors on the sink and toilet. Each of the dorms has television, an open area, and email access. There are also communal washing machines. There are opportunities for work. Kitchen, grounds, maintenance or a Unicor telephone facility. In this case, the women answer phones to handle magazine subscriptions. Pay is minimal and they can spend it at the commissary. For those with disciplinary problems, you get put into the SHU. This is a separate building where you are in isolation. You can get into a 10x30' fenced pen an hour a day five days a week. Otherwise you stay in your cell. Food is brought to you. The cells do have showers which you can use 3 x a week. There was a building for education classes. The women are required to work towards a GED. Some make it some don't. The grounds are open and plenty of space to walk around. The geese were all over the place and there were at least two resident cats. Don't try getting out though. A tall fence with electronic monitors and 11 strands of razor sharp barbed wire prevent that. I must admit that the facilities were better than expected. But not a place anyone wants to spend time at.

After living in San Ramon for almost 9 years, I was fairly unimpressed with the old City Hall digs in a nearby business park and was very happy to hear that my well-run city was going to get itself a new place to call home.

I love the rotunda (the round portion of the building with lots of glass and a shiny floor), it's grandiose and a perfect showpiece for the city. It's clear that the building was built using the latest in environmental and technological bells 'n whistles, which add to it's splendor. I happened to visit the NEW city hall for a trip to their passport office and was very pleased with the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. Congrats San Ramon, you've successfully built yourself something to be proud of - a lovely new City Hall. 5 stars.

If you are following, with the exception of the Apple store in Pleasanton, all my other reviews in this city are 4-5 stars!! Hence the city's overall rating of 4 stars! Cut and pasted from the internet: "In 2005 and 2007, Pleasanton was ranked the wealthiest middle-sized city in the United States by the Census Bureau." Atmosphere - 24.3 square miles, 0.15 of which is water. Population of 80k (2020 Census). Service - Good, as per the above, they cater to the wealthy so service has to reflect that.

This review is specifically for Sargent Matt Kroutil for his humiliating and low behavior,…read moremean-spirited personality and ill mindedset. It was a small thing that turned into an issue that deserve serious questioning on the morality and ethics of Sargent Matthew Kroutil. Here the plaintiff has no intention to comment about Mr. Kroutil's ethics or professionalism as a police officer and as a supervisor, but here is the story and what happened on 08/20/2026. 3 or 4 weeks ago, my wife's vehicle parked along the street curb right in front of my house for an extended period of time, some neighbor reported, so the police came in to tell my wife to move it. The police knocked the door and initially we talked at the door. I admitted the problem, and told the police officers that I knew the problem and I had reminded my wife multiple times to move it, but for some reason it could not be started some time ago. I also promised the police officers we would call in AAA to try to start the vehicle. If it could be started, we would change battery; if could not be started, we would just donate it. I also mentioned by the way in low voice that there was another vehicle on the other side of the street which had parked there even longer. The response of the old experienced police officer was surprising and embarrassing. He intentionally and repetitively raised his voice so loud that it looked to me he wanted my neighbor to hear:" You are saying your neighbor is parking there also, I will talk to your neighbor later." He repeated that multiple times in loud voice even when we moved together to my drive way and to the street. I was so embarrassed that I had to stop him:" Stop, I don't care any more!" Then I left and went back to my house. This old police officer was experienced enough to know the consequences of that. It seemed to me that he was trying to stir tensions and disputes among neighbors, and if I am considered a whistleblower, then he was trying to expose me as the whistleblower. Not acceptable to me. Today after 3 weeks I decided to call the Pleasanton Police department trying to make a suggestion or advice about the misconduct of this police officer. I said clearly in the call several times: it is not a complaint, or report about anyone, rather it is a suggestion or advice worth paying attention to in future services and law enforcement. So Pleasanton City department arranged Sargent Matt Kroutil (Batch #281) to give me a call back. Sargent Kroutil did call shortly, but in less than 1 minute into the call, right after saying hi and greetings and self introduction, he said something like "hold on" and then transferred my phone call to Pleasanton Garbage services, which kept me waiting for over 28 minutes before I realized that I was tricked. During that time, I called Pleasanton Police Department Hotline using another cell phone and let the people on the phone hear the repeated robot audio: it was all about Pleasanton Garbage Services, repeated time after times, for 28 minutes before I hang up. I also recorded some of the audio as evidence. Afterwards I hanged up realizing Mr. Kroutil was fooling. The phone call started at 10:04AM and ended at 10:34AM. It could be longer had I not realized it was a scam. The behavior of Sargent Kroutil (Batch 281) is a grand misconduct and a sign of lack of sincerity in serving the people or facing the problems, especially as a mid level police officer who were assigned to handle civic complaints or suggestions or advice. I strongly feel obliged to file a formal report about him in view that he is a police supervisor. Mean-spirited and ill-minded things like this should not have happened to a sargent. Transferring my phone to Pleasanton Garbage Services and keeping me waiting for 28+ minutes before I realized it was a scam is truly angering.
