I arrived at Hagerstown prison on some Bullsh*t possession charge…read more(I told them it was that hitchhiker I picked up that left that piece of crack under my seat). Hagerstown prison sits on a rolling hill and due to the limited amount of lightpollution surrounding the area you can see the big dipper quite well. I was walked into the prison(I am sorry, correctional facility) by two of the nicest police officers in the world.I have only nice things to say about the fine police force of Hagerstown. The gates to the correctional facility opened up and the first thing I noticed was how clean the place was. Wow! was I impressed. The lovely color of orange the walls where painted matched my new orange jumpsuit I was issued. Getting processed into general population is never a quick affair, but 11 hours!! I already had knocked off one star for that inconveinence. The staff was pretty friendly, well as far as prison staffs go. I was in the processing room for about 4 hours when my stomach was rumbling from the Indian food I had for dinner. No one ever wants to drop a deuce with 14 dudes within 10 feet, but you got to do what you got to do. If I could take one thing from prison and put it in my house, It would be those steel toilets. Talk about comfort, I almost forgot I was in prison for a second. Fast forward a week I am in general population and I only got into one small fight over a half eaten apple. I know Prison has rules for visitors, but come on. This is from the visitors code: Visitors must dress appropriately for visitation. All clothing must cover from the neck to the kneecaps. The following types of clothing are not allowed to be worn: * tube tops, tank tops, or halter tops * see-through clothing * mini-skirts, mini-dresses, shorts, skorts, or culottes (at or above the kneecap) * form-fitting clothes such as leotards, spandex, and leggings What do you want my lady to wear when she comes to visit me a burka? Hagerstown Prison is not Attika or Angola (Louisiana Prison, not the country in Africa) but it could use some improvements. Only 3 basic cable channels and no nets for the basketball hoops are the least of the problems here. But the staff is decent and even the Warden seems like a swell guy.

I've been standing in the huge foyer of this courthouse waiting on a person for a meeting. I've…read morebeen here plenty of times but since I've been standing around killing time, I've actually had a moment to "look" at the interior. The building has interesting architecture. It's a 5 story structure where one side is completely glass and open to the center of the interior. There are historical displays and art that line the wall on each level. While standing here, a citizenship swearing in ceremony has just taken place. These new US citizens were very proud to hold the American flag and take pictures with their family. I helped take photos of three different groups so they could all get in their respective pictures together. As I write this, my heart is filled with pride for those who go through this process and choose to be citizens of the United States of America, while others who are born here take citizenship for granted. If you happen to be in Greenbelt and you want to experience pride for your country; along with witnessing the joy of newly made citizens, stop into this courthouse between noon and 1pm. I believe they take place here every Monday.

Mail is left in my mail box many times with the door open only to be ruined by rain when I return. I also cannot get it restarted even after going in person and tell them to do so verbally. There is no one to answer the local phone number even though it is supposed to be manned from 8:30-5. There is no voice mail so it requires multiple in person visits to get things back on track. Many times I am told I simply have no mail but after going in three days in a row to recheck, a manager will come out with a whole box of mail and claim they don't know where it came from. They keep blaming temporary workers but even the workers that have been there for 6 years don't seem to care or know what they are doing. My last post office was nothing like this.
