What a great prison, this place was sweet! Out of all my stops at different county jails, Chester…read moreCounty Prison certainly takes the cake! Not once during my stay did I fear for the virginity of my anus. Were talking two gyms, contact visits, cable T.V's in every cell and a sweet ass commissary. I'm not even kidding when I say you could get a big bag of potato chips for $2.00! Many of the cells offer beautiful views of the surrounding scenic country side, which is famous for it's horse farms. Don't get your hopes up though as these premium cells are in high demand and there is usually a waiting list. Nothing is perfect I guess.. up until recently we were able to smoke cigarettes and crack the windows open. As far as food, meh, I have experienced better. However, the head chef Darin really made magic with what he had to work with. I really hope he is still there because he did a really great job serving up the food. If I know Darin, he might just still be. The Darin I knew never did like paying his child support. Oh, I almost forgot! During my stay the commissary was selling muscle shirts with a cartoon rendering of a prisoner being held down by a ball and chain. These were not only hilarious but they are sure to make really great gifts and souvenirs as well!!

Even for people who need it for heart conditions. I waited 3 weeks to get my psych meds. My husband has been waiting for his medication for a month now, and still hasn't been given it. This is serious! My friend hung himself in LCP because he wasn't given his psych meds. Ill be working on brining about something very soon. I'd give zero stars.

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.

She took our drink orders. I was disappointed that they don't brew their own beers anymore but they had some great choices. I had a couple of the lagers and the pilsner. They all came out just the right temperature. I'm picky when it comes to the wrong temperature beer. My wife got a flight of 5 wines that she got to pick. I guess she liked one because she bought a bottle. We had the garlic Parmesan wings and they were great. We also had the crab dip. They were out of spinach dip. The crab dip had a lot of flavor and the chips were fresh. Spyglass is in a timber frame building that is impressive. Sit by a window and admire the view. We got to speak with the owner and he is so nice and knowledgeable about the entire business. If I lived closer I would be here all the time. The food and drinks are amazing. Try this place. It's very good.

I…read moreapplied and went through the hiring process but received a denial with what felt like a very vague explanation from HR. As an applicant with prior correctional experience and relevant training, I expected a clearer and more transparent explanation regarding the decision. It's frustrating when candidates invest time in the process and are left feeling that the decision may not have been evaluated fairly. I believe organizations, especially those serving the public, should strive for transparency, consistency, and equal opportunity in their hiring practices. I hope the hiring process can be improved so future applicants receive clearer communication and a fair evaluation of their qualifications.
