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.

A friend or family member must register for phone or messages so the inmate can message or call and they can only message or phone at a phone call or message cost that the friend or family member must have an account they pay for. To put any funds in the inmates account there is a costly fee. Put $15 into the inmates account "trust fund" and you pay a $5 fee just to put in funds. The social services are a joke. If an inmate requires placement in a recovery or halfway house the inmate must contact and find a placement and they cannot make any phone calls or email or even search. The social worker does not advocate or do the searching- if an inmate can get a s w appointment the s w will place a call on their phone but the inmate has to do the search and connecting. Medical or dental help is limited and sporadic. If an inmate has any funds in their trust fund the medical unit charges $5 for aspirin and $5 to see the prison Doctor or dentist, This is a money making business. It is NOT there to help any inmate recover from anything. Investigations should be conducted. No wonder inmates return, they get released with no help or rehabilitative assistance. This system is a blight on our prison system and has no compassion.

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!!

We learned a lot about one of the world's first modern prison systems and it's legacy and effects on the world. The tour guides and docents were fantastic and have a lot of knowledge and stories to share. The audio tour was great especially hearing literally from former guards and inmates it's very interesting. There is a lot to see here so plan accordingly! There is nearby street parking available and parking lots as well I'm sure. You can book tickets and experiences in advance to make sure you are able to attend. Our tour guide Sammy was especially great and had a passion for the history of this place. Definitely would visit again and must visit when here in the city!

Overall it was very interesting and we learned alot about not only this prison but life in this first of a kind place. The place is pretty creepy.
