If I could BCJ zero stars, I would. I personally did not spend anytime there, but someone I care…read moreabout deeply did. I'm not saying that person was perfect, but they didn't deserve the mistreatment & neglect. So many times they would call me saying how hungry they were because dinner was at 4:30 and it wasn't enough. I would hear about how COs would literally yell & punish inmates even if what the inmate did was an accident. They were out on meds that they told the jail don't help them. Visiting was terrible! I do not care what you might think about me, but when I come in and say hello, the proper way to address someone is to say hello back. The COs that I interacted with either were very rude & I guess they just don't know how to talk to people. While other male COs would make inappropriate & scary jokes that honestly made me wonder why they weren't locked up. (Literally had one tell me he could pin me to the ground if he wanted to). Being an outside walking in, everything was gross! The walls were chipping & the floors were nasty. Contacting your loved one inside is a joke! I was so confused because putting money on a tablet was different from commissary, & used two completely different apps. My messages would take literally anywhere between 5-10 days even though I was using a texting app. Hoping other inmates that are in there share their experiences when they get out. I would add more but it would be a book.

Food was awful and consistently stolen from me from unsavory folks in dew rags. The "top level…read moresuite with veiw" was a 2nd floor cinderblock cage with boogers and semen caked to the wall and curly sqibble hairs carpeting everything. The worst part was that it was supposed to be a single occupancy room but due to an over-booking issue i had to share it with some guy with long girl nails and 3.5 teeth left, and, for some reason, enjoyed standing over me, smelling my worn underwear whilst I slept. The tvs were severely inadequate and had no internet capabilities forcing me to watch basic cable with closed-captions on... huddled with the other guests. As bad as all that was the "recreational room, gym and "spacious" outdoor spance for frolicking and long scenic walks was in fact just a caged in blacktop space measuring 40x40 with a netless basket ball hoop and a table with no weights or machines and 5 sweating muscle bound gang members doing way too many squats in very short gym shorts and harassing anyone who tried to also use the facility. Upon arriving and departing i was forced to strip down to nakedness 1 article of clothing at a time and hand them to a male employee who inspected them and then checked under my testicles and inside my anus for contraband. In all honesty .. I kinda enjoyed that part as it appeared to be a right of passage ritual that all enjoyed in! Overall I didn't enjoyed my all expenses paid county vacation as much as the brochure said I would and would not recommend staying at the. "state-of-the-art" facilities and am going to attempt to get a full or partial refund but I don't have a lot of hope in that endeavor!

UNIT P - FEMALE WORK RELEASE UNIT…read more We have 17 women on the unit. Out of 17 only 11 go to work. That means while 11 of us are getting up and going to work daily to bring back out paychecks to pay rent the other 6 are sleeping/watching tv/ emptying vending machines, etc. and NOT PAYING RENT but being given the SAME privileges. When addressed with WR management or CO they are told there is "nothing they can do". When we agree to join WR unit we sign a CONTRACT STATING WE AGREE TO ALL THE RULES. Yet only HALF of us are held to that contract. The contract states MAINTAIN EMPLOYMENT- if you are fired or quit your job you are REMOVED from the unit. In the time I have been there, only some people are removed while others are shown favoritism and kept on the unit. Unemployed people who are on our unit are eligible for "cleaning" administration or the unit... except when they are let out of the unit they graze the pavement and peoples cars for cigarettes and lighters and have BEEN CAUGHT stealing from a WORKING WOMANS CAR and not removed from the unit. Remember, this lady that is stealing is not paying rent, while the lady she is stealing from IS. 11 of the working women have jobs that require them to get a good night sleep and to be up early... it is hard to get sleep when the women who do not have jobs that clean are told it has to be done between 11pm and 1am and are not told to keep the noise down. For multiple nights now, we have been woken up by girls screaming at people on the phone OR fighting over who cleans what and who does and doesn't have to clean. This should not be an issue. The people who do not work should be housed together in two rooms, and the working inmates should be kept together. This work release unit is a joke. It is made to make money or the county or the prison and not the inmates they claim to be helping "rebuild their lives". I would be embarrassed if I ran this place.
