That's the best example in can give. What needs to improve?.....Everything. Staff retraining, medical staff screened, dietary review, program coordinating. The pod I was on was over 120 girls on bunk beds in one room. There where fruit flies all times of the day covering the toilets,vents,drains,and bunk beds. The issue or black mold exposure is real and putting women at risk for sure. Eight showers in one room, eight toilets in another, and that's where flash backs or Hitler documentaries and concentration camps flash before my eyes.. No curtains or doors,no privacy.You eat on your bunk,live on your bunk,during my week stay we never even were given the option of an hour of reck time for fresh air even once. There are no programs available besides GED except in your tablet which I couldn't take advantage of because I was never provided headphones even though I wrote multiple requests for them. Medical treatment is scary here, I watched many women become sickly during my stay, symptoms not taken seriously,illnesses being overlooked. The way the staff address the inmates is constantly demeaning and ignorant, in could go as far as say almost as inhumane as what were served every night for dinner.. That's the biggest difference I recognized between this jail and corp civic in Florence. I can't believe it was acceptable to staff to crack jokes on inmates for missing teeth,being overweight, or struggling from withdrawal. It's was just a big joke to the officers,everything was. You have to do chores to get a clean outfit...leaving withdrawing women without a blanket or sheet and in the same soiled clothes even after begging for help.You are fed twice a day,the same meal every day is served for both breakfast and dinner; I pray for the women who have been sitting in county for years. If most of the women in here either struggle with mental issues or addiction I don't see how sentencing someone to experience a situation like this can help them to improve their lifestyle or become a better functioning member of society.

If you're picking up property, bring a pen, in case they still haven't replaced the one they expect…read moreyou to use that doesn't work. Also, be sure to have the booking number for your person. When I was first introduced to the "systemic" processes involved in incarceration, Intake Transfer and Release (ITR) wasn't even a thing. I'm sure in some ways, it has streamlined aspects of booking and release. For example, if someone is processed, they'll likely be released through ITR. It's also evidently where you go to collect an inmate's property--if the "tank order" has been properly submitted. Although not the same place to pick up property for someone who is no longer in custody. That's a big if, especially given the ongoing staffing shortages. Delays are common, and miscommunication is rampant. Yes, public parking is located in the pickup lot, even for property retrieval. Security staff were kind and helpful, but the Detention Officers (DOs) assisting with property seemed understandably frustrated with the process. When I visited, they told me they hadn't received the tank order that had supposedly been submitted the previous week. I asked for clarification and got little more than a shrug. The MCSO website states the public must bring the tank order to property pickup--but according to staff, that's outdated information. Something felt off, so I went to the jail myself to retrieve the tank order. When I returned to ITR with it, a more informed DO finally explained what had happened. Here's the thing--not every inmate is a repeat offender who understands this complex, often contradictory system. My loved one is a first-time detainee with no knowledge of these procedures. In this case, confusion was made worse by the fact that he was immediately placed under a 72-hour watch and never informed that he could release cash in his possession to an outside party. There's a 24-hour window to do this--but if you're under watch and no one tells you, how would you know? According to a supervising DO, many staff members are new and still learning the process themselves. Unfortunately, this leads to inconsistent information being given to the public--often confidently, but incorrectly. In my experience, some DOs would rather pass on misinformation than admit they're unsure or ask someone more knowledgeable. This creates a troubling cycle: inaccurate information is passed down and repeated until someone takes the time to correct it--if ever. Bottom line: ITR is one of those places no one wants to be, but you might find yourself needing to go there anyway. If you do, be patient, double-check everything, and trust your gut when something feels off. You may have to advocate harder than seems reasonable--but you're not alone in that.

The Jail Tree https://share.google/Fz0n196FKvWbaQkQ5 Hi Guys just thought I'd share a short day trip yesterday to Wickenburg a little over an hour from Brenda Arizona. What a great little Historic Western Town. The jail tree was just one of the things to see in the Old Town part of Wickenburg. We were so impressed with the great old restaurants also. I'll post later where we had the Very Best Chicken Fried Steak Breakfast We both have ever had. For those that have never ventured up the 60 to Wickenburg you should treat yourself and enjoy a visit. Loretta and I are looking forward to our next visit.

When in Wickenburg, Arizona...you gotta see it…read more We were driving through and decided to check out the main area of the old town. There are murals and quite a few cafes & restaurants, shops, and museums to venture to. When I found this spot, there was a small parking lot right in front of the tree area. It is blocked off for traffic. It looks like a coffee vender has a food cart parked there. It was closed by the time we were there. There is parking close by. The tree looks like it's been there for a loooong time. It is interesting to see this man sitting on the ground, chained to the tree. There is a recording of the story and with a push of the button (it is working again) you can hear a tale. This stop has a Knotts Berry Farm feel to it. It's always fun to look for something new or unique. This stop is fun. It doesn't take long to check it out, & take a pic. When you take your next road trip and you find yourself in the area, Check it out!

I know how that statement may make some feel and trust I do have familiarity with what the process is like. However, both days the Detention Officer (DO) who assisted me was extremely helpful. She didn't have to be, but she was and it was noticed and appreciated. I had a few issues in obtaining the property of an inmate, it was the DO who helped that made the process a little smoother on my end. Again, of course, no one is happy in having to deal with these types of 'businesses' but it certainly helps alleviate some of the stress when those involved are helpful, as was my instance two days in a row. Thank you Lady, I was finally able to get the items. Sure hope to never be back again, ever.

It's a secluded area that is definitely up and coming. New homes are popping up everywhere, and Florence has a bunch being built right now by numerous home builders. There isn't much out this way that I know of except a few restaurants, some gas stations and car washes. I hear the prisons in the area once used to be in full swing, but now they are supposedly closing down. Not 100% sure on that, but I'd imagine if they are doing it, they'll be building new homes on that land. There's so much flat land out here, it's really peaceful compared to the busier surrounding cities. You'll need to hit up the Queen Creek area which is a half hour north. That's a bustling area with shops and restaurants, and Costco with a gas station. I think it'll take a few years before this town gets to that level. They don't even have a Target or Walmart here! The closest Walmart I know of is in Coolidge about15-20 minutes away. I guess I'll see what the future has in store for Florence. Right now, it's a quiet area that many young families and professionals are settling into. You might want to check it out if you're interested in buying a home. There's so many popping up, and the newer neighborhoods look really nice!
