She made the process straight forward and explained everything. Overall she made the experience as enjoyable as it could be while allowing us to get in and out quickly

My human rights were violated when I was an employee with Eby-Brown. I was terminated, their reason…read morelisted was misconduct/ insubordination. My question is, since when asking to go use the bathroom/ restroom to relieve themselves, it's the law for employees to receive at least two 15 minute breaks when working more than 6 hours. I never received a first break and was approaching lockout for me to take a lunch. I was still actively on lunch when I asked to go use the restroom and was denied the right to go. How is this not a violation of human rights? How am I denied my employment benefits because of this? I forgot to mention prior to me needing these benefits unemployment paid out a fraudulent claim under my name where I had to go through extreme lengths just to verify my identity!! AGAIN HOW AM I DENIED BENEFITS?! ESPECIALLY WHEN THE EMPLOYER DIDN'T SHOW UP TO THE HEARING?!

Let's face it…read more Nobody likes going to jail. Well... if you're married to someone who makes your life a living hell every waking moment and you're worried about them pouring gasoline on you while you sleep and lighting you up... jail can seem peaceful and safe. I spent around 47 hours and 13 minutes in the Will County Adult Detention Facility so I feel qualified to offer you a review of this government institution. Like everyone else I was there because I was framed. Unfortunately I was 'framed' on a holiday where the courts were closed and the jail was filled to over capacity and it would be almost two days before I could see the judge to get my sorry ass bonded out of there. I've never been in any other jail so it's hard to compare this facility to any of the other penal institutions you may be familiar with. I've been in a few police lockups but that really doesn't count. When you get your dumbass thrown in jail the police officer who arrested you drives you to 'The Big House' and the arresting officer watches them 'book you in.' It's not a whole bunch of fun and they really search you very well. Don't try to hide your nicotine gum or they'll find it and then you're off to a body cavity search with more than likely a very big and insensitive guard who you probably really don't want probing you in those places anyway. They take all your stuff... including your clothes and they put it in this machine and shrink wrap it so you can get it if you're lucky enough to leave. The guards there seem like they want to bust your head for any infraction and there's all kindsa rules you better learn really quickly. After a bunch of paperwork they take you to the nurse and she gives you about four or five vaccinations. They probably won't tell you what they are but by the third one they heard my objection to these vaccinations on the grounds of 'religious exemption' and quit sticking me with needles... although the guard informed the nurse that he'd be more than happy to 'tune me up' into compliance for the nurse. Since I am a federal informant who blew the whistle on some serious government corruption I was given my very own cell. It had a concrete bench to sleep on... and fluorescent lights that were never turned off. The toilet was right in the middle and it was made out of stainless steel with no seat and if you used it everyone could watch. That was kinda weird. The food there really sucked... it was cold... not appetizing at all and the purple cool aid was devoid of any sugar since the guys in the kitchen steal all of the sugar to make 'hootch' in their cells... a primitive fermented beverage that anyone who has spent any time in the 'Big House' is familiar with. As this was my very first time experiencing the life of an inmate you can bet I was scared and nervous. The guards could care less and they wouldn't even answer any questions. They give you an orange jumpsuit to wear in addition to underwear and socks that someone else wore.. kinda creepy really. Many of the people who go to jail are innocent and the statistics prove that... but the guards still treat everyone like shit and it's a really dehumanizing experience. I hope you never go through it... unless you deserve it... but you still have my sympathies because losing your freedom and being in jail sucks big time. Especially if you're there for no reason. It's still gonna cost you a lot of money to prove you didn't deserve to be there and if you do that... after spending thousands of dollars and going through all of that you wont even get an apology. I hope this is the last review that I do of any penal institution and I hope you never have to make use of it. Even after I went in front of the judge and I was bonded out it took like fourteen hours before they released me... and they threw me outta the joint at three O'clock in the morning. I didn't wanna bother anyone for a ride at that time so I went to the train station and I partied with a bunch of homeless drunks until five when the trains started running. I didn't care that these guys were bums or that the smell of urine wafted on the breeze as we knocked back some Mad Dog 20/20 from a brown paper bag... I was free and that freedom was so sweet.

Who really likes a Courthouse ? Not many people. This courthouse however is a major upgrade…read morecompared to the old one. Finding parking isn't hard as spaces are usually available, there are some days where you would have to park on a street or even acouple blocks away in downtown Joliet. Handicap spaces are available upfront in the parking lot. I believe there are 2 auto parking meters and parking starts at $8.00. The parking lot attendant does check vehicles to enforce payment. Cellphones are now allowed on your personal as long as you have it on silent but it doesn't matter because internet signal is to a minimum or you'll have none at all. There are two metal detectors and 1 line, be sure to have zero metal "best to take off your belt" before you walk in the door. Hats are to be taken off, Vapes will be discarded "keep it in your vehicle". There are elevators and now escalators in this new courthouse as well. Bathrooms "small" are available on each floor.

For a courthouse this looks like a concrete fortress. Things that are awful about this place is that parking is an issue! I had to park by the train stop and pay 5 bucks. Cell phones aren't allowed in the building, yet the courthouse in Bridgeview was lenient about it. The fourth floor is where are the felony cases are being handled. This building is old, ugly interior, terrible plumbing, it feels outdated in the court room like you're in a 1950s time capsule. Bail money can be picked up from the second floor. It's got cool artifacts to look at on the exterior of the building facing Jefferson Avenue. Homeless people hang out side the building as well.

Go figure, a prison with a 1 star review...seems sort of fitting, doesn't it?…read more I've been visiting an inmate here for several years now, and I have to say that for the most part, this place personifies government workers in Illinois. We are on their time. If it's your first time visiting Stateville, get ready to be denied access, even if you're on the inmate's approved list. It's happened to pretty much everyone that I know. They try to tell you you're not on the list. They tried telling me that maybe he forgot to put his sister down because he put his OTHER sister on the list and he needed to put both of us on there (uh, not the case. My brother may be an idiot for other reasons, but not putting his immediate family on a visitors list so that he could have contact with the outside world and food other than the garbage they serve on the line isn't something that he would do). On multiple occasions, we've been check in (and check in, and searched, and checked in, and checked in one more time, just to make sure that we - two females - didn't switch identities with any of the male inmates) and assigned a visiting table just to wait over an hour and a half for the inmate to come downstairs. Apparently the guards only get the prisoners if they feel like it. The vending machines used to be way overpriced, but I guess enough visitors complained (wrote to their elected officials in Springfield) that the prices are now somewhat reasonable. What hasn't been fixed, however, are the machines themselves. Every time we go, at least one machine is out of order. More often than not, there is little to no food in them (and I use the term "food" very loosely) and/or it's expired (especially the fruit/veggie packs). I've been told that the infrastructure of the actual prison is deteriorating badly, with crumbling walls where daylight can be seen through the cracks (real safe, right?). The prison is filled beyond capacity, and with the recent closing of yet another prison, it's even more so. Correctional Facilities are supposed to be rehabilitative, but I've seen my brother's mental state continually decline as a result of being locked up here as he awaits an appeal (another story for another time). The gangs are pretty fierce, even though they pretty much leave unaffiliated people alone (Neutrons are what they're called), and it's not uncommon for the whole place to go on lockdown when a fight erupts (between rival gang members or sometimes between guards and inmates). With such a savage environment, essentially a walled hole where people to go be forgotten, it's no wonder that there are so many repeat offenders.
